About
From country stages to dramatic roles.
Rickie Lee Tanner spent more than three decades as a professional country singer, building a career on connection, live performance, and the ability to hold a room. After MTD took his singing voice, Rickie redirected that same discipline and presence into acting.
His acting debut came in 2021 with the lead role in A Better Man, written and directed by George Darden. That transition gives Rickie a grounded, lived-in quality on stage and on camera: approachable, sincere, and ready for roles with heart, grit, humor, and history.
