We had the chance to speak with Richard Wharton who reprises the role of Dr. Wilhelm Rolf in the daytime hit, “Days of Our Lives.” The devious Dr. Rolf was originally played by William Utay until Richard took over the role in 2022. He has since appeared in over 70 episodes.
Richard’s career began onstage. He made his first onscreen appearance in 1986 as a Punk trying to rob Billie Crystal and Gregory Hines in Running Scared. Since then, he has built an impressive resume with over 70 credits to his name. In addition to Dr. Rolf, he can also be seen as Mr. Grayson in “The Pitt” and a Pawnbroker on several episodes of “The Young and The Restless” along with guest starring in shows such as “Will & Grace,” “Criminal Minds,” “American Crime Story,” and more. Richard is particularly proud of his part in the ‘Claires sketch’ in “I Think You Should Leave,” as well as his King’s Alchemist role in Dragon Storm – one of two Sci-Fi films he filmed in Bulgaria and directed by the late great Stephen Furst.
