Richie Moriarty is an actor, writer and improviser who has appeared in numerous films and television shows. Currently, he stars as Pete in CBS’s hit comedy GHOSTS, which was just renewed for two more seasons. Moriarty can also be seen in the film “Nonnas” on Netflix playing Vince Vaughn’s boss.
Moriarty began taking improv classes in 2004 in Boston and performed for years as part of Improv Asylum’s mainstage cast. After beginning to book roles in commercials and television shows in Boston, Moriarty decided to move to New York in 2013 and began writing and performing at the UCB Theatre. In 2016, he performed at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal as a prestigious New Face Character. In 2018, Moriarty starred with John Malkovich in a CBS teaser broadcast before the kickoff of the AFC Championship game, which won four Sports Emmys. In 2019, CBS Sports had him back to star with John Malkovich and Peyton Manning in the Super Bowl LIII opening.
He has been a recurring character in the television series “The Tick” and guest-starred on “What We Do in the Shadows,” “The Last O.G,” “Adam Ruins Everything,” “The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” “House of Cards,” “Orange Is the New Black” and “Search Party.” He is also a voice actor who voices multiple characters in “Pinkalicious & Petterific,” “Hamster and Gretel” and in the Stephen Colbert-produced animated series “Tooning Out the News.” His other film credits include “How to Be Single” and “Going in Style,” which he starred in alongside Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman.
Moriarty was born and raised in Rockville, Md., and is a graduate of Boston College. He spent eight years as an architectural photographer photographing homes all over the greater Boston area. So, if you want to nerd out about lenses or f-stops or whatever, he’s totally down. He has also recently completed a massive renovation of his mid-century modern home in New Jersey and has lots of thoughts on grout color and shoe moulding. The stars of his life are his wife, Ciara, their son, Devlin, and their daughter, Loretta. His mom, dad, and sister, Colleen, continue to be his biggest fans.
Richie is a diehard Boston sports fan and a huge supporter of Moms Demand Action and Everytown for Gun Safety. He and his family are also big supporters of the FSHD Society. Richie can be followed on Instagram and TikTok @richietown.
