* StarMakingRole: ''Film/TheAdventuresOfPriscillaQueenOfTheDesert'' was his first big introduction to audiences but it was ''Film/LAConfidential'' and then ''Film/Memento'' that really made him a household name.


Added DiffLines:

* Typecasting: Tends to play a lot of villains and generally unsavory types, so much so that quite a few viewers of ''Series/MareOfEasttown'' expected Richard to be revealed as the killer just for being played by Guy.

* PlayingAgainstType: Unintentionally. Pearce was cast in ''Series/MareOfEasttown'' after another actor had scheduling conflicts. Due to playing a lot of villain characters, many audiences presumed that Pearce’s character would be involved in the murder or have ulterior motives. When Richard was just a normal guy, many people were shocked.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Indeed. During his Series/{{Neighbours}} years, as Kate Winslet later recalled to Pearce, she would describe him as “tall, mulleted and handsome.”
