The Imaginary Invalid, Demetrius in A Midsummer Night's Dream and Malvolio in Twelfth Night, as well as appearances on the television show Totally Hidden Video. When he took on the title role in Shakespeare's Richard III in 2015, one critic wrote "Jon Mullich is one of the best 'Richards' we have seen, teetering a tight line between portraying madness, histrionics and unbridled ambition. It takes a studied actor to show the human side of Richard without giving in to the buffoonery of his folly and Mullich owns the character both body and soul."[5]

Academy Award ceremony and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' controversial early role as a labor organization in Hollywood
