Canadian born actor Richard Eden (born February 13, 1956) is the third actor to don the Robo suit appearing as RoboCop/Murphy in RoboCop: The Series. Chosen from over two hundred candidates Richard prepared himself by watching the video tapes of the two RoboCop movies the whole night before the audition. At the end of the night he knew each movement and action of RoboCop to be able to impress the director.
