He has since starred in numerous commercials for Coca Cola, Toyota and the then Singapore Telecom, Singapore Press Holdings to name a few. The linguistically effective Rick can speak English, Mandarin, Taiwanese, even tackle dialects with ease. This served as a catalyst when Rick decided to give acting a shot.

He has also starred in the film Girls Interrupted and displayed his acting skills before live audiences in The Necessary Stage's production, "Mardi Gras".
