>>Considering that Ashton is one of the producers on Beauty and the Geek, I think it's now evident that Richard was there to act up for the camera.<<Nah. Only in the way that every reality show contestant is chosen in the hopes that they'll make good tv.
From the link provided above, it appears that Richard's "acting career" consists of student & hobby films and community theater. Good for him...but it doesn't make him a "plant."
It's been evident for decades (ever hear of "Queen for a Day"?) that the world is full of DAWs that are eager to make themselves look like idiots just to get on TV. Why would any producer PAY an actual actor to do it when you only have to hold an audition/interview?
I've no idea when B&TG was taped, but my first assumption on hearing Richard appeared on Punk'd is that Ashton liked Richard on B&TG, then asked him to do Punk'd.
