What’s Evel Dick Doing Now in 2018 – Career Highlights
Richard Louis Donato, better known as Dick Donato, was born on June 24, 1963, in Los Angeles. Little is known about his early life, but by the time he entered the Big Brother House, he was a bar manager and part-time extra. He worked on Pirates of the Caribean, acting as a stand-in for Keith Richards, or so claimed the producers of Big Brother Season 8. I have not been able to find any other sources confirming that. He would go on to win that season, with his daughter coming second. $500,000 is a lot of money, and he wanted to split it with his daughter, but the rules forbade that. Instead, he paid for her college, bought her gifts and tried to make up for his past.
He reentered the house for season 11, a bit of an alum season, alongside his daughter, but left in less than a week. No reason for this was provided at the time, but he announced soon after that on set doctors had given him a standard blood test, and informed him of his HIV positive status. Later interviews confirmed this, with Dick saying that it was likely the result of a Vegas fling during a night of heavy drinking.
These days he hosts his recap show and makes sporadic public appearances.
