The Early Years

At a very young age, one could sense something special in Randolph or Randy as his
friends called him; it just seemed to shine through. The eldest of three, he migrated
from Haiti to Brooklyn at the tender age of six and quickly adapted to the New York
way of life. He excelled in sports and martial arts, receiving high ranking in Tai
Kwon Do. In school he achieved academic success, receiving many honors while becoming
class president. As one former classmate puts it “Randy was the Go to Guy”. This
charisma, coupled with his boyish good looks, prompted others to urge him to get
involved in modeling. “I didn’t even consider modeling, until people kept asking
me if I was a model” he recalls. Upon visiting a top notch Miami Beach modeling
agency, he was promptly signed up. Numerous T.V. commercials, fashion shows and
print ads ensued.
Finding His Way
While matriculating at the University of Miami, Randy found time to pledge Kappa
Alpha Psi fraternity and was involved in many campus activities. KAY became known
for their spectacular fashion shows and energetic Step Shows. His next move, to
join the City of Miami’s elite firefighter squad, was undecidedly driven by his
love for adventure. There he learned a novel skill, to rappel down the side of multi-
story buildings. Every year the Department produced a well received calendar featuring
twelve sexy firefighters. Randy was selected to be Mr. May, which dictated a whirlwind
tour of fashion shows, talk shows and guest appearances. Next came a variety of
roles in the local film and advertising industry that culminated in relocation to
Los Angeles, California.

Lights, Camera, Action, and More Action
Embarking on the L.A. scene, he was now in the thick of things and chomping at the
bit. An offer to work as a *stunt performer seemed tailor made, based on his physical
abilities, fearless nature, past resume, and high level of fitness. The rest, as
the cliché goes, is history. Thriving in a job that routinely required actions that
most people would never be able to bring themselves to do, he was featured in Hollywood’s
Greatest Stunts. When asked about the difficulty of his job he replies, “If it was
easy, everybody would do it”, which seems to typify his “get it done” attitude.
Randy is Will Smith’s close friend and personal stunt double since the two met on
the set of the original Bad Boys in 1994. His repertoire includes blockbuster hits
such as
Bad Boys I & II, Independence Day, Men In Black I & II, Wild Wild West,
Blade, Training Day, IRobot, The Pursuit of Happyness, I Am Legend and Seven Pounds,
just to name a few. His career has led him to film in many exotic locations from
Bangladesh to Vancouver, and he’s worked with big names which include Tiger Woods,
Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, and P Diddy. He has performed in a broad spectrum
of movies, short films, commercials and music videos many of which are listed at

* A stunt is an unusual and difficult physical feat, or any act requiring a special skill, performed for artistic purposes in TV, theatre, or cinema. Stunts are a big part of most action movies
Future Plans
As a premier performer in the stunt/action industry, one would undoubtedly inquire
what the future holds for this very eligible bachelor. Well, this seasoned Hollywood
veteran has also done some directing, which leads industry insiders to conclude
that his transition to second unit director (stunt coordinator), would be a very
natural one. Furthermore, his colorful life and movie business experiences could
provide excellent fodder for a movie script. We hear that one is in the works. In
any event, if past is prologue, it seems that no matter the path he chooses to undertake,
he will meet with unequivocal success.
