Richard James Cosnett, also known as the Eddie Thawne of The Flash, Wes Maxfield in The Vampire Diaries, and now Quantico's Elias Harper is a Zimbabwean-Australian actor. The cousin of Hugh Grant, 36-year-old Richard is not married yet, so is he dating?
Well, Richard has kept his personal life and relationship issues quite away from his professional career. Furthermore, Richard is rumored to be gay. So, what's the truth? Let's know.
The ABC show Quantico showcases Richard as an openly gay character. He plays the role of an openly gay FBI analyst and had a lot to say about the role.
Rick stated that,
The character is a very authentic one, a fierce, and confident character but soft at heart.
Portraying the gay character has been easy for him as he constantly said it was a very easy thing to do, but not for the media who are repeatedly making news about his sexuality.

Rick's gay role in Quantico is original and that led to his gay rumors which are all over the media. Just because he plays the role of a gay man does not mean that he himself is gay. Cosnett is straight but considers the gay character Elias to be his alter ego.

So, the question again arises, is Richard dating? Who is his girlfriend? Well, sadly, no information on his girlfriend or dating is out but he did state his desire for dating.
The dating history of $1 million net worth bearing, Rick Cosnett comes out empty, but it does not mean that he has no ideal dating desire. He said that he saw himself as a reserved and sensitive person with a funny side to him. He said that he is sensitive and enthusiastic and also a wholesome character.

Currently, Rick is not reported to be dating and even more, is not reported to have a girlfriend. However, the case might be that he may be dating in secret. Rick is seen with many ladies on his Instagram post, and maybe his spouse is any one of these. Let's hope the truth will be out soon.
In Fervor Magazine, Rick revealed a little bit of information about himself, stating that he likes watching good standup comedy.
Rick's ideal comedian is none other than his Quantico co-star Graham Rogers. Cosnett is currently working on a new project but will surely be continuing his journey on Quantico for a little more time.
He also revealed the idol of his age as Johnny Depp,
Johnny Depp. Such an awesome imagination,
he said when asked who his inspiration was.
So, all in all, it’s a heads up for the fans of this extremely good-looking and down-to-earth actor.
All the girls who are in love with him can try some tricks to get him. The totally social media person Cosnett is surely waiting for the love of his life and he may not mind if he gets one or two serious love proposals.
He is currently single, wants spontaneity on his dates, which is very good news for the girls!!
