RILEY SMITH Talented Actor & Singer/Songwriter

R

iley Smith is an immensely talented actor whose body of work comes to life in diverse roles across television and film.

With a recent role on one of the top new series on CW and now MAX, Riley's star is quickly on the rise.

Riley Smith was cast to co-star in the CW's hit series Nancy Drew. The series was set the summer following Nancy Drew's high school graduation, where she and several teens throughout the town are suspects of murder.

The victim; Smith's character, Ryan Hudson's, socialite wife. Nancy Drew aired on the CW starting in October of 2019 and ran for four seasons. All seasons can now be streamed on MAX. Before landing the role of Ryan Hudson, Smith had wrapped up his role of Levi Scott in the Fox series Proven Innocent, and prior to that was Dr. Will Grant on the CW series Life Sentence.

In this reimagining of the 2000 New Line film, Peyton List plays a female police detective in 2016 who discovers that she is

able to speak via a ham radio with her estranged father (Smith), also a detective, but who died in 1996. They forge a new relationship while working together on an unresolved murder case. However, unintended consequences of the butterfly effect wreak havoc in the present day.

In 2015, Smith was seen in a strong arc in Season 4 of the popular ABC musical series Nashville. Playing Markus Keen, an artist signed to Rayna's Highway 65 label, Smith merged his love for music and acting, recording singles, such as "In the Name of Your Love" and "I Want To (Do Everything For You," for the Nashville soundtrack. Also in 2015, Riley scored a recurring role as Rachel McAdam's boyfriend, Sheriff's deputy Steve Mercier, on HBO's True Detective, the second installment in the crime series franchise. This role followed his previous stint on the pay cable network as a vampire on the seventh and final season of HBO's True Blood. Smith played Keith, a rugged, rock 'n' roll vampire with a romantic side and story line opposite Arlene, played by Carrie Preston. Continued on page 10

Continued from page 9 Previously, Riley had recurring roles in the Emmy-nominated CBS series Joan of Arcadia, the highly acclaimed Fox show 24, the WB series Summerland, and Judd Apatow's master creation for NBC Freaks and Geeks. He was a main character in the Fox show Drive and appeared in seven episodes of the fifth season of CW's 90210 as Riley Wallace, a paraplegic opposite Shenae Grimes, and Tristan Wilds. He can also be seen in television movies including the Disney Channel's Motocrossed and Nicholas Sparks' Deliverance Creek.

Riley Smith's other credits were in films as diverse as Radio (Ed Harris, Cuba Gooding Jr.), Eight-Legged Freaks, Not Another Teen Movie, New York Minute, as well as Gallowwalkers (Wesley Snipes), Weapons, the Sundance Grand Jury Nominee, and Christmas in Conway (Andy Garcia, Mary-Louis Parker). Over the past twenty years since Smith entered the Los Angeles scene, he has managed to complete more than eighty-one projects: fourteen pilots, nine series, and dozens of guest star roles.

In his free time, Riley is also a music recording artist and writer. In 2016, he released his first self-titled solo EP, recorded in Nashville. The music video for the first single “I'm on Fire” went to number one on CMT's Taste of Country Countdown. Smith currently has 6 original songs placed on Television shows and film. Riley Smith released several singles, an album and an EP. Born and raised on his families' Quarter Horse Ranch outside of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Smith remains involved with his hometown supporting the Eastern Iowa Arts Academy. This non-profit after school arts organization, created for K-12th grade students, offers classes in art, music, drama, dance, cultural arts, and creative writing.

Red Ink Magazine had the pleasure of asking Riley Smith a few questions and this is what this amazing actor/musician had to tell us.

Red Ink: Who or what inspired you to get into the entertainment business, both acting and as a musician?

RS:I’ve loved entertainment and the arts for as long as I can remember. I was the kid who would put together “concerts” for my entire family at the holidays. Id make my little sister be my back up dancer. I was probably 6 years old. In School I started doing plays and musicals and just always knew it was in my bones. But it wasn’t until I graduated High School and had the chance to move to New York for a short stint modelling career that I realized that I could actually do it for a living.

Growing up in rural Iowa, it seemed like a pipe dream until I finally got to NYC. I immediately started acting classes and got an agent. It started off as a summer trial after I graduated and the rest is history.

Red Ink: Which do you prefer, acting or your music and how do you juggle doing both?

RS:I love both and they are both very different mediums. Music is a chance for me to write my own stories.

Share my own feelings. Acting is an opportunity to embody someone else and tell someone else’s story.

Red Ink: Tell us some pros and cons you've encountered in the entertainment business.

RS: “I am a mother and a woman and the story of a girl The business has made me who I am. I couldn’t have had the highs without the lows. The biggest thing I’ve learned is to not let either one (highs and lows) define who I am. Or play on my self worth. The business has also taught me patience and humility. Ive learned to really let go and just keep my head down face forward. Although it can be a roller coaster of a ride navigating your way through the business, it has also taught me to trust your course and understand that I am where I am supposed to be. Each new day is an opportunity and Ive learned to just keep walking through doors. If one closes, I find the next door and see where that goes.

Red Ink: If you could collaborate with someone you never worked with before, who would that be and why?

RS: Leo DiCaprio. Ive always been a huge fan of his work, and would love to see his process. Go toe to toe with him.

RED INK MAGAZINE

Red Ink: You did many movies over the years, is their a particular role that you would like to have that you haven't done so far?

RS: Ive always wanted to play a lawyer and haven’t yet. So thats gotta happen someday soon.

Red Ink: Can you tell us about any projects you might be working on?

RS: I just finished a four season/year run on Nancy Drew for CBS, last year. That afforded me some down time to just focus on being the best dad I can be to my 5 year old daughter. I’ll never get these moments with her back, and I’ve spent the majority of my life being selfish and focusing on me, so now I want to focus on her. It’s all I want to do, but I do realize I still need to work, so I merged my passion of being a dad into a new product that was designed for my daughter, and all kids in the world. It’s called the Pocket Buddy. Its a pocket for an apple airtag or GPS device that you can literally stick on any piece of clothing, to help track your young kids when you are out in busy public places like parks, zoos, aquarium’s etc. I have spent so many hours at places like that, and seeing other parents losing their child or yelling to find their child. And that is the most hopeless feeling in the world, even if it’s for 30 seconds. I went online to see what the solutions were and was shocked to find out that there wasn’t really anything that fit my criteria that I was looking for.

A discrete, easy way to have peace of mind and be able to track your young child. Or elderly parent.

Or special needs loved one. Or pet. Basically anything you want and need to keep track of.

So I got with a great business partner in Chicago who knew how to make this new dream a reality and The Pocket Buddy TM will be available for sale on Amazon and Walmart next month!! Ive spent a year developing the product and am just so excited to be able to bring so many parents like me, peace of mind. Oh and Im almost finished with a new music album that has been a 5 year work in progress:) Red Ink: What can we expect next from you?

RS: A lot Red Ink: Tell your fans something unique about you that might surprise them.

RS: A little known fact about me is that I collect Starbucks coffee mugs from almost every city I go to. I have so many now that I can’t just buy anymore unless it’s a cool city that I want a keepsake from. Thats a random Riley fact:) This concludes our interview with Riley Smith, he is truly amazing at his craft and we wish him much success with all of his endeavors.

GENE HACKMAN Academy Award Winning Actor, found Dead at 95

H

e was born, Eugene Allen Hackman, on January 30th, 1930, in San Bernardino, CA. Gene Hackman is a world renowned actor, who has won two Academy Awards. He has graced the screen in some of the biggest films of the last generation, including The French Connection, where he won Best Actor and Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven where he won Best Supporting Actor. Unfortunately, his life and esteemed career ended suddenly and mysteriously on February 17th, 2025. Sadly it was not until February 26th, that the bodies of himself, his wife, famous concert pianist, Betsy Arakawa and one of their dogs were found dead in their home. Cause of death is still currently unknown, however, Carbon Monoxide was ruled out and there were no signs of trauma.

This sad moment, should not take away or overshadow the amazing career that began several decades ago.

It was at the age of 10 that Gene Hackman decided he wanted to be an actor; however he did not pursue his dreams until after he exited the Marine Corps after

finishing a four year tour as a radio operator. In 1956 at the age of 26 Gene began acting in the Pasadena Playhouse, where he met and became fast friends with another renowned actor, Dustin Hoffman. An interesting fact about these two world class Academy Award winning actors; they were both voted as least likely to succeed at the Pasadena Playhouse and Gene Hackman actually got the lowest score ever given by the playhouse.

Early on in his pursuit of stardom he was cast in several bit parts in movies, television shows and plays.

However his first big role that got him noticed was in the Broadway play Any Wednesday. After his performance on Broadway, in 1964, many doors began opening up for him. His first credited role in a major film was in Lilith where he acted alongside the great Warren Beatty.

12

RED INK MAGAZINE

He then had his first starring role in the long running Broadway Show Poor Richard. But soon after several co-starring and high tier roles in movies and plays, he started to get noticed for his true talent, and was nominated several times over the years for Academy Awards and won two times. He had the leading roles in The French Connection, The Poseidon Adventure, and Scarecrow just to name a few. However, some of his co-starring and supporting roles were recognized just as much, like his roles in Unforgiven and Young Frankenstein, Wyatt Earp, Get Shorty, Enemy of the State and The Birdcage.

From the “worst actor” in the Pasadena Playhouse to an Academy Award winning superstar; it just goes to show that with hard work and perseverance, anything can be achieved. Gene Hackman ultimately became one of the top actors of the last 50 years and is a true star and giant in the industry with over one hundred acting credits to his name. He lived a brilliant and long life, but sadly is now gone at the age of 95. Gene Hackman, you will forever be remembered and adored by your friends, family and millions of fans all around the world. Your legacy will live on in the amazing films and memories that you have given us over the last several decades. May you rest in peace. By Michael Devine

STING & SHAGGY Release New Single “Til A Mawnin”

M

usic icons Sting and Shaggy are back with their new single “Til A Mawnin.” The song and music video celebrates one of the pillars of reggae culture: Sound-System.

With this track, the duo, both managed by Martin Kierszenbaum at the Cherrytree Music Company, pay homage to the Sound System culture that contributed to fueling reggae’s global influence, while the accompanying music video – directed by Jay Will - brings this tribute to life, offering a visual celebration of reggae’s enduring legacy.

Written by Shaggy, Sting & Henry “Junjo” Lawes, “Til A Mawnin” is a re-lick of the “I’m Not Getting Crazy” riddim, originally produced

by Lawes with backing by the legendary Roots Radics Band. The riddim has been the foundation for several classic reggae tracks, including Don Carlos’ “I’m Not Getting Crazy,” Frankie Paul’s “Worries in the Dance,” and Yellowman’s “Getting Married.” Shaggy, alongside Shane Hoosong, produced this updated version, bringing new energy while preserving the essence of its dancehall roots.
