Here are just a few testimonials from those who have already worked with Historical Entertainment and Historical Extras: "Russ Richards and his Historical Extras are quite simply the real deal. Having worked with these reenactors on twelve 1-hour episodes of the History Channel's Civil War Combat series, I can say without hesitation these are the most authentic and professional Historical Extras found anywhere in the business. What they bring in terms of attitude, gear, and authenticity is unsurpassable. They will give any war film or TV show a stunning kind of realism." -- Seth Isler Coordinating Producer, Greystone Television   "Creepy Healers, a 40 minute documentary for National Geographic Ultimate Explorer, required several period recreations to chronicle the historical medical applications of leeches and maggots. Russ Richards and the crew from Historical Extras were extremely professional, good-natured, highly skilled, and collaborative. Given National Geographic's highest standards of accuracy, it's nice to know that I didn't have to worry about authenticity with such knowledgeable crew on hand. It was a great pleasure working with Historical Extras and I look forward to our next reenactment." -- Jeff Morales Producer, National Geographic Television and Film   "I have had the pleasure of working with the people of Historical Extras on several occasions and recommend them as truly authentic, versatile, and dedicated historical reenactors. They have a thorough awareness of the look and character of their historical specialties and the ability to field any number of varied, high-quality, accurate impressions. But they also have an appreciation for the particular needs of the film set, which make the filming proceed with greater efficiency and a higher end-product. I recommend Historical Extras both as a historian and as a filmmaker." -- Brad Graham Director, National Park Service Documentaries on Antietam, Fredericksburg &  Chancellorsville Participating writer and director - History Channel's Civil War Combat series "Mr. Richards is a devotee of authenticity and has proven leadership skills; he often commanded Gods and Generals' core company and displayed skill, firmness, and fairness." -- Dennis Frye Assistant Producer, Gods and Generals "The best part of working with Historical Extras is that with a simple phone call, you can get locations, and props, all historically correct, and personnel who are knowledgeable and eager to work." -- Robert Wise Director, Discovery Channel's "Unsolved History" episodes on Pickett's Charge and the Dahlgren Raid and Lincoln Assassination. "Historical Extras are not just 'extras.' They were an integral part of the filming of 'The Battle of Chantilly.' They not only brought their historically accurate reenactors, they brought their experience, know how, and enthusiasm to our project." -- Chuck Mauro and Bert Morgan Producers, BLM Productions, "The Battle of Chantilly"
