After filming in advertising, the casting agency Sky1 invited Whittle to try himself as an actor in the TV series "Dream Team". Ricky agreed, although the filming schedule was so tight that he could no longer continue his studies at the university.

At the start of the young actor's career again waiting for the injury, this time even more dangerous. Filming in the third series, he broke his leg in several places. Producers have already managed to evaluate his acting abilities and did not look for a replacement, and rewrote the script, adding health problems to the character.

In 2006, Whittle got a small role in the TV series "Holby City", after which he was invited to the project "Hollyoaks", participation in which was a turning point of the creative biography. Ricky's character, the mysterious Calvin Wallenstein, loved the public, but in 2010 Whittle refused to continue filming, and the hero had to "kill". The next project was the series "Successful People", where the actor appeared in 8 episodes.

In 2008-2009, Ricky worked on the set of a TV show. He reached the final of The Weakest Link, the British version of The Weakest Link, and finished second in the Strictly Come Dancing dance competition paired with Natalie Lowe.

Whittle's worldwide fame was brought by his work in "The Hundred", where he played a hero-lover named Lincoln. Film critics praised his acting duet with Marie Avgeropoulos (Octavia). According to the actor, Lincoln became his favorite hero, but to bring the storyline to the end did not work because of a personal quarrel with the director Jason Rotherberg.

In the interview, Ricky said that Rothenberg didn't like everything he did. The director deliberately ignored the actor, not giving airtime and forcing to spend days on the set in vain, and when still allowed to participate, he pressed and criticized so that the shooting seemed torture. In addition, on the order of the director tough scenes in the series were filmed as realistically as possible: if the plot characters had to be connected or chained, the film crew did it for real.

Whittle's knees and fingers still have scars from handcuffs, and on his stomach - a trace of a stun gun, which the heroine Lindsay Morgan in the story hit Lincoln in the seventh season. After that, the actor publicly called the director's behavior "vile, low and unprofessional" and refused to continue work in the series.
