Randy, a man who took a bus to Hollywood with nothing but raw talent is now a proven and current vast and varied star with that one other sustaining asset - he is a great and much admired actor on the world's stage and television and feature film screens, an actor that has been recognized by Hollywood and the worlds finest directors.Randy, who earned a Golden Globe portraying Lyndon Baines Johnson, received a nomination in this years race for incarnating another memorable real life character, "Colonel" Tom Parker. The portrait of Colonel Parker, a former carnival barker with a murky past, is dark.
