- Richard Szponder is known for Masters of the Universe (1987) and Playtime Masters (2017).
- He won a contest run by the Mattel Toy Company where the prize was to appear in the Masters of the Universe movie. He was originally only supposed to appear in a scene on Earth but those scenes were already shot. So they dressed him up in costume and makeup and he is very briefly seen during one of the scenes in Castle Grayskull.
- Played saxophone in the Lockport High School band. Was known as "Boy Lisa Simpson".
- Although his credit at the end of Masters of the Universe lists him as Pig Boy, the character's actual name was "Mata-Shai". This name appeared on the original character sketches. His real name is never spoken in the movie, so he was listed as Pig Boy in the credits (based on the character's physical appearance) to avoid confusion.
- Graduated from Lockport Township High School in 1996.
- Avid Madonna collector
