He was taught by one of Lee’s protégées, renowned actress and teacher Elaine Aiken. He studied with her for 7 years, making him part of a thespian tradition that started with Constantin Stanislavsky. After studying with the Russian master, Richard Boleslavsky founded ‘The American Laboratory Theater’ in New York City, where Lee Strasberg learned Stanislavsky’s system.
