Impressively, even with his long list of acting credits, Richard E. Grant has recently made media news for an event that was not related to the theater.

During the year 2006, Richard E. Grant became aware of a Swazi company that was selling goat serum as a cure for Aids. This was a 98 million dollar industry and Richard E. Grant notified the BBC program Newsnight. Working hand in hand, they uncovered the scam through hidden cameras, secretly taping and exposing the con artists. Richard E. Grant has not only touched the lives of many through his acting abilities, but he has used those talents to help protect the lives of many suffering from Aids from the unscrupulous actions of those who would prey on the sick and dying.
