Small Screen, Big Opportunity
Starring in the new Disney+ series "Big Shot,' professor Richard Robichaux brings the lessons of TV acting to his students. When actor and professor Richard Robichaux was in production for the new Disney series "Big Shot,' he often brought back lessons from set to his classroom—a common practice for graduate students in the Department of Theatre and Dance. "Working on 'Big Shot' is so much fun, and getting to share that with our students motivates me to do even more for them,' said Robichaux, part of the MFA acting faculty at UC San Diego. "The series is the story of second chances, which we could all use right now.' The show also hits close to home, quite literally. "Big Shot,' starring Robichaux, John Stamos, Yvette Nicole Brown and Jessalyn Gilsig, is set in an elite, all-girls private high school in La Jolla. The 10-episode series premiers Friday, April 16 on the studio's streaming channel, Disney+. "Because of my work on screen, I'm able to bring in top guests from the television and film world,' said Robichaux.
