Richard Rossi (born March 2, 1963, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American filmmaker, actor, producer, musician, and a former evangelical minister, church planter, and healing evangelist. His 1995 trial for the attempted murder of his wife, who recanted her original identification of Rossi as her attacker and espoused his innocence, ended in a mistrial and was front-page news in Pittsburgh and widely covered by syndicated television news programs; Rossi eventually pled no contest to a lesser charge.

1 | People are like screenplays. The best ones aren't boring and predictable and have interesting twists. |
2 | Inside me, I feel like a kid playing and using my imagination. I'm shocked my art is selling so well, and I'm grateful for the love, prayers, and support of my family, friends, and fans. I wouldn't be doing so well if it wasn't for them and the creative collaborators who work with me in Hollywood. I encourage everyone who loves what I do, that you too can connect with the Creator and with creativity. God loves you unconditionally. He wraps up talents in the bundle of every baby that is born. We are all created in the image of the Master Artist. The talents that we have are gifts. When we take those talents and make something, it is our gift back. |
3 | My film "Sister Aimee" was a case of art imitating life. I made the movie as an allegory for my own experiences. I wanted to make an honest film telling what I know firsthand about evangelists and the adulation of the personalities that are conduits for the Spirit. |
4 | Hollywood is more forgiving than the church. |
5 | A true independent film is 100% control, the final cut is mine. I love controlling the project, doing only as much as I want, the way that I want. The thrill is seeing something in my head come to life, I am a co-creator with God as an act of worship. |
6 | Art is a ministry and ministry is an art. |

29 | Richard Rossi is an ordained minister who conducted healing services for three years that drew crowds of several thousand people per event. He started a controversial church in 1986 with Jack Sims called "Matthew's Party" that was featured on CNN and USA Today. The church met in a bar, served wine and our-doerves, worshipped with rock music, was attended by movie stars, and gave the offering back to anyone in attendance who needed the money. The church was condemned by leading televangelists who said,"church was not meant to be a party," but today, the name and concepts are used by the nation's largest church of 20,000 members in Chicago. Rossi has since stated he believes artists are the true spiritual leaders of society and has left the church to focus on making films. |
