Richie Wilcox

Richie Wilcox is an openly gay contestant from the first season of reality television show "Canadian Idol".

Born in New Waterford, Nova Scotia, Wilcox's first national performance came on a Rita MacNeil Christmas television special when he was nine years old. He subsequently studied drama at University College of Cape Breton (now Cape Breton University) and Dalhousie University.

On the first season of "Canadian Idol", Richie Wilcox emerged as an unlikely finalist, with his winning smile and unique singing style. He was eliminated after the first week of Top 11 performances, possibly because of a vote split between him and second-place winner Gary Beals, who is also from the Halifax area.

Wilcox has performed in and directed numerous theatre productions in Halifax. He is the co-founder of the independent theatre company, Angels & Heroes. After four increasingly successful seasons with the indie troupe and two summers acting and directing in a company called Festival Antigonish, Wilcox is now studying his Masters in Theatre Direction at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas.
