Philanthropist Dick Wallrath

Richard (Dick) Wallrath, a self-made millionaire, rancher and philanthropist, is the largest donor to the Texas FFA and Texas 4-H. DEEP IN THE HEART is a feature film documenting the true story of Texas entrepreneur Richard Wallrath. The movie was filmed on location outside Austin, Texas, with actors Jon Gries (Napoleon Dynamite [Uncle Rico], Taken and September Dawn), Val Kilmer (Top Gun, Batman, Tombstone), DB Sweeney (Hear No Evil, Fire in the Sky and Memphis Belle) and Elaine Hendrix (Superstar, The Parent Trap, and Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion) in leading roles. Richard "Dick" Wallrath's personal demons caused him to hit rock bottom. After losing everything -- jobs, hope, and his family -- Dick found faith, picked himself up and trudged on to eventually earn back the love of his children, build a nationally successful window company and become the leading all-time individual donor to Texas 4-H and Texas FFA Association.
