The singing middle school janitor from Indiana who won season 19 of “America’s Got Talent” in 2024 is getting his own biopic.  His name is Richard Goodall and he’s 56 years old.

 

 

He first captivated audiences across America during his audition, when he nailed “Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey. He even got to perform the song with Neal Schon and other members of Journey at the finale.

 

 

A studio executive says, quote, “Richard Goodall’s unbelievable journey from sweeping hallways to the center of television’s biggest stage is the epitome of the American dream.”

 

 

Richard recently retired from his full-time job to focus on music.

 

 

He released his first song last year called Long Time Coming.
