Richard Chamberlain

It was during his studies at the University of Pomona in California that Richard Chamberlain discovered a passion for the stage. Leaving to do his military service for 16 months in South Korea, he lost a great opportunity to sign a contract with Paramount. On his return, he moved to Hollywood and landed small roles for television, often for an episode, especially in the series Alfred Hitchcock presents. He made his big screen debut in 1960 with The Secret of the Purple Reef, alongside a young first: Peter Falk. It was not until 1961 that he won the favor of the public, with the immense success of the series Dr. Kildare. The first of a prolific career in the television industry.

After a few minor films in the early 1960s, he met Richard Lester who offered him the title role of Petulia; the first of a fruitful collaboration. A film acclaimed by the public and the critics in which he gives the reply to George C. Scott and Julie Christie. In the 1970s, he multiplied the projects for the cinema: Jules César where he gave the answer to Charlton Heston; swashbuckling films directed by Richard Lester, such as The Three Musketeers and its sequel. The actor will meet the filmmaker for the last time in 1989 for The Return of the Musketeers. The 1974 disaster film The Inferno Tower, which won 3 Oscars, was one of the biggest hits of the decade. What The inevitable catastrophe (1978), which is a bitter failure, will not achieve. In 1977, the Australian Peter Weir gives him the lead role in the strange Last Wave, a film tinged with the supernatural plunging into the heart of Aboriginal culture. In the mid-1980s, he tried to ride the success of Indiana Jones with diptych Allan Quatermain and the mines of King Solomon and Allan Quatermain and the city of lost gold.

However, his film career never really took off, often reduced to playing second knives. From the 1970s, and especially the 1980s, he turned to the small screen. In 1975, he played a Count of Monte Cristo who delighted the public, before lending his features two years later to King Louis XIV in an adaptation of The Man in the Iron Mask. In 1980, alongside the great Toshirô Mifune, he played the English Major John Blackthorne, caught in the turmoil of feudal Japan in the mini-series Shogun, based on the work of James Clavell. 1983 undoubtedly marks the peak of his television career with the mini-series The Birds Hide to Die, according to the bestsellerby Colleen McCullough.
