RANDOLPH MANTOOTH
Name: Randolph Mantooth
Born: 19 September 1945 Sacramento, California, United States
Randolph Mantooth (born September 19, 1945 in Sacramento, California), is a
prolific character actor primarily known for his roles in soap operas, movies
and television.
The naturally black-haired Mantooth is widely recognized for his role as Los
Angeles County Firefighter/Paramedic and Robert Fuller's competitive friend,
Johnny Gage, on the popular 1970's NBC television series Emergency!
Mantooth has maintained a close personal and professional tie with the
firefighting and emergency medical services communities, and is a frequent
keynote speaker at Fire Service and EMS conferences and events all across the
United States.
In May 2007, the International Association of Fire Chiefs EMS Section applauded
his inspirational contribution as "Ambassador for the Fire Service and EMS"
professions by presenting him with their highest honor -- the prestigious "James
O. Page EMS Achievement Award." Mantooth was also recently recognized by the
Arkansas Ambulance Association with the "Arkansas Star of Life Award" for his
commitment to the advancement of EMS.
Ironically, Mantooth's character "John Gage" was named after James O. Page, who
had helped in the development of the Emergency! TV series.
As Honorary Chairman and spokesperson for the non profit County of Los Angeles
Fire Museum Association, Randy actively participates in developing plans to
build a world-class Fire/EMS Museum and Event Center. His personal appearances
often include a fund raising autograph session for the benefit of the museum's
James O. Page Memorial Building Fund.
A graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, Mantooth has
accumulated more than eighty credits in television, film, and theater. He has
recently completed four feature film roles, including He Was a Quiet Man, and
appeared in a recurring role on the ABC daytime drama, One Life to Live.
His original screenplay, The Bone Game, has drawn considerable interest from
independent production companies, while his creative concept for a new series
based on the Los Angeles County Fire Department's Urban Search and Rescue teams,
entitled USAR-1, is being pitched to television networks. Mantooth and his
partner Hayma Washington, four-time Emmy award-winning producer of The Amazing
Race, would be the series executive producers.
Randy and his wife Kristen currently live in Los Angeles.
