He has also appeared in a variety of Australian films and television shows, including Blue Heelers, McLeod's Daughters, Rogue, Conspiracy 365, and Wentworth. From 2012, Richardson starred as Drew Greer in the Jack Irish television films and subsequent 2016 series.

From 2021 Richardson started campaigning against vaccinations,and in that year quit acting to launch a failed bid to gain a seat as an independent in the Australian Senate. He then founded a far-right group called National Workers' Alliance (NWA), which associates with other far-right, white supremacist, and neo-Nazi identities, including members of the National Socialist Network.
