From the moment acting teachers, directors, and even fellow actors first laid eyes on him, they knew Richard Erdman belonged in films. Erdman, who turns 90 in June, was born in Enid, Okla., and at the age of five his family moved to Colorado where they lived for nine years. “I performed in a lot of school plays and my drama teacher at Colorado Springs High School told my mother she should take me to Hollywood,” said Erdman.
