3	Richard O'Brien (born Richard Timothy Smith, 25 March 1942) is an English–New Zealand actor and writer best known for creating ''The Rocky Horror Show'', a stage musical that was subsequently turned into the cult film ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow''. O'Brien played the character of Riff Raff in both the original stage production and the film. He attempted to continue the success of ''Rocky Horror'' by penning a sequel. After several drafts, the script was ultimately filmed as ''Film/ShockTreatment'' (which was not well-received at the time but has since gained a cult following of its own). A second sequel, ''Script/RevengeOfTheOldQueen'', never made it past the script stage.
