Q: Now for the real gritty stuff. What is your all-time favorite movie?
RICHARDSON: I've had a few, so to narrow down probably three of them, if I could, it'd be Dances With Wolves (1990), I'm a big Kevin Costner fan. I love that one. Field of Dreams (1989), was always a real good-feeling movie at the end. And I think lately, I wasn't a huge Queen fan growing up, but I love music, so Bohemian Rhapsody (2018). I've probably seen it 15 times.
Q: Following up on that, are you going to go see the new Elvis movie?
RICHARDSON: I love Elvis, I'm a big Elvis fan. I can't wait to see that.
Q: Favorite TV show growing up?
RICHARDSON: Growing up…as a kid, I probably loved The Flintstones. If I go to my next stage of my life, I loved Cheers. And ironically, my daughter lives in Boston. But my favorite TV show of all time is Seinfeld.
Q: How about go-to hype song?
RICHARDSON: I'm a heavy metal guy. So, Metallica is right at the top of the list and so it would probably be "Enter Sandman."
Q: If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?
RICHARDSON: Chicken parm.
Q: If you could coach any other sport, what would it be and why?
RICHARDSON: I'm stuck in my own sport all the time. But you know what? I guess football because it's physical like hockey, and the specifics in it, where you're coaching in a certain area, so I'd have to go with football.
Q: First concert you ever went to?
RICHARDSON: My first concert ever went to I think was April Wine, which is a Canadian rock band.
Q: What is your favorite restaurant in Chicago or one you're most excited to try?
RICHARDSON: Carmine's is probably my favorite restaurant, and I used to go and eat dinners there when I'd come visit with Tony Esposito. And we used to have great conversations and he was always really good to me; it was a thrill. But there's so many ones that I'm so looking forward to trying. It's just such a culinary city that I can't wait to try more.
Q: If you could have dinner with one person in history, who would it be and why?
RICHARDSON: Elvis Presley, just because he's an iconic person in all aspects, you know? He just seemed like a big-hearted person that we lost way too early.
Q: If you could live in any TV show or movie universe, what would it be and why?
RICHARDSON: I guess I like the Jason Bourne movies. I like the other movies [I mentioned earlier] better, but I think if I can be Jason Bourne, then I'd be Jason Bourne.
