Every so often, a story comes along that reminds us why we love what we do—and Richard OV’s journey with Hunter Talent is exactly that kind of story.
It Started with a Stunning Headshot
Before Richard ever stepped onto the Starward set, his journey began with something fundamental: a stunning headshot. The right headshot doesn’t just capture what you look like—it captures who you are. Richard’s headshot showcased the natural charisma and authentic character that would soon catch the eye of casting directors across the country.
The Instant Booking
When Richard joined Hunter Talent, we knew we had someone special on our books. What we didn’t expect was just how quickly the industry would recognise it too.
Within days of signing with us, Richard received his first submission—a commercial opportunity with Starward Whiskey, one of Australia’s most celebrated craft whiskey brands. His experience? He booked it. Instantly.
The Perfect Match
Starward is known for their bold approach to craft spirits and distinctively Melbourne aesthetic. Landing this campaign means representing a brand that values authenticity and standing out from the crowd—the perfect match for Richard.
The commercial showcases Richard’s natural ability to connect with the camera and embody the sophisticated yet approachable vibe that Starward is known for.
Celebrating the Win
When Richard’s booking came through, we immediately shared the news across our social channels. The response was overwhelming—fellow talent, industry professionals, and supporters all celebrated this fantastic achievement.
