One of four children of a South Philadelphia contractor/paperhanger, Peter Mark Richman excelled in sports and the arts while attending high school. After war service, Richman played semipro football, then attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science before finally settling on acting as a vocation. After stock experience, Richman was cast in such New York productions as End As a Man, The Rainmaker, A Hatful of Rain, and The Zoo Story. His first film appearance was in 1956's Friendly Persuasion, as the boyfriend of ingénue Phyllis Love. Though he had the looks and bearing of a romantic lead, Richman considered himself a journeyman character actor until he was cast as the hard-hitting lawyer hero of the 1961 racket-busting TV series Cain's Hundred, in which he was billed as plain Mark Richman. Since that time, Peter Mark Richman (as he is now billed) has been a regular on the weekly shows Longstreet and Dynasty, and a reliable white-collar villain in many another television series and theatrical-movie releases.

Quotes from Peter Mark Richman's Characters

Julius Gaw:	I say we regroup, and find this motherfu*ker before he finds us. Now who's with me?
Charles McCullough:	Watch your mouth, young man! And you'll do no such thing. I'M in charge here!
Julius Gaw:	School...IS OUT, McCulloch! Okay?
Julius Gaw:	School is out, McCulloch! Okay?

Deck Hand:	You're all gonna die...you're the last ones...he's come back for you.
Deck Hand:	You're all gonna die. You're the last ones. He's come back for you.
Charles McCullough:	What are you talking about?
Deck Hand:	Jason Voorhees.
Charles McCullough:	You're insane. Jason Voorhees has been dead for years.
Deck Hand:	He came up the river and he's gotten on board...he walks this ship here and now.
Charles McCullough:	Yeah, a killer walks this ship all right...and it's certainly none of us! [pulls out a knife]
Deck Hand:	You're the one who's insane.

Charles McCullough:	Are you girls using drugs?
Eva Watanabe:	Do you think I would use drugs, Mr. McCulloch? We were just exploring the ship.

Colleen Van Deusen:	Hello Charles.
Charles McCullough:	Colleen. You know, this cruise was your idea, so at the very least you can show up on time.
Colleen Van Deusen:	Has everyone checked in?
Charles McCullough:	No. Jim Miller and Suzie Donaldson never showed up, and I'm more than a little concerned.
Colleen Van Deusen:	Well, don't be. They probably decided to explore each other rather than New York.
Charles McCullough:	(disgusted) - Oh, that's nice.

Charles McCullough:	Senior predictions started five minutes ago and Rennie isn't there.
Wayne Webber:	Maybe some of us don't want our futures predicted.
Charles McCullough:	In your case I'm sure that's true.

Charles McCullough:	The first order of business is to find Julius.
Irish Cop:	Oh I'm sure he'll just pop up somewhere.

Charles McCullough:

Walking corpses are not real.
