Channel 10 'Neighbours' actor Richie MorrisA month after making his ‘Neighbours’ on-screen debut, Richie Morris has said he’s “thankful” for the positive feedback, knowing his casting is also important to many young culturally diverse viewers. “It’s very humbling that I am able to come on set and provide a little diversity within the cast,” the 21-year-old told HuffPost Australia. Unfortunately (or fortunately) until it is ‘normalised’, every diverse casting in Australia IS a step forward.” ‘Neighbours’ has actively cast more people of colour in recent years after criticism that it wasn’t diverse enough. “We could craft the character’s background story if necessary to suit the actor cast in the role.” In 2017, a new family featuring Indian Australians arrived at Ramsay Street. The Sharma Rebecchi family were welcomed to Ramsay Street this week!
