Richard Young is a Canadian writer and actor whose work explores the intersection of culture, identity and belonging. Growing up as a person of colour in Canada's predominantly white suburbs, he developed a perspective shaped by navigating different cultural worlds.

With a Bachelor of Science degree and an MBA, Richard pursued a career in screenwriting and acting, drawing on his diverse experiences to inform his storytelling. He specialises in comedy and speculative fiction, using both genres to explore and challenge societal conventions.

His stories often centre on characters navigating two contrasting worlds, whether across cultures, workplaces or even planets. By blending marginalised perspectives with mainstream narratives, Richard aims to create original yet relatable stories that entertain audiences while encouraging empathy, reflection and a broader understanding of the world.
