At age 5 in 1922, he was a regular on "Uncle John" Doggete's KHJ's Radio Program "Children's Hour" in Los Angeles. He later began preaching little sermonettes on the radio.
He appeared in over 19 silent film movies. With his abundant blond locks and winning smile, little Richard Headrick ("Itchie" to his co-workers)was the main reason for William S. Hart's regeneration in both The Toll Gate (1920) and The Testing Block (1920).
A swimming prodigy prior to making his screen debut at the age of three, Headrick retired from show business at the ripe old age of eight to pursue preaching as an evangelist.
He later became a colonel in the U.S. Air Force and a lay minister.
