We'll whatever kind of insanity has befallen him, I hope he gets better soon. Nobody alive today in Hollywood can play a Redneck (Eddie Johnson from National Lampoon's and Russell Casse from ID4) better than Randy did in his prime.

Agreed. I remember a few years ago Michael Moriarity dropped out like that for awhile due to overwhelming issues and was even going to start a political party, easier in Canada than here in the USA unfortunately, but after awhile he has began to get active again. Maybe Randy will get his issues resolved and rejoin the business. It sounds like he and his wife have some anger management issues so maybe they and Alec Baldwin should get together and find the best counseling money can buy. It looks like Mel Gibson has his issues managed and he almost lost his career. If Randy sees this, we can only hope that he knows we are still here and hoping for his quick recovery and return. Take care of yourself Randy.

I am afraid you are right. If a performer becomes uninsurable or gets a reputation of being very difficult to work with it can do severe damage to a career.
I remember the guy who played Roscoe on Dukes of Hazard had had severe heart trouble and almost did not get the part because of insurance issues. Clint Eastwood posted bond for him so he could be insured. They had worked together on Rawhide years earlier and I suppose had kept in touch.
If he wants to come back he will have to eat a lot of crow and do mea culpa to a lot of people to get back in the business. Whether one likes him or not, it took Mel Gibson a long time to get back in business and I am sure he has to walk the straight and narrow and keep his name out of the papers. Redemption is always possible. -

Who would hire him? He is uninsurable at the very least.
I agree. With all of his legal problems, uncertain refugee status, being actually banned from Equity, and unknown mental status (and a crazy wife to boot), I don't think that anyone would want to hire him on either side of the border. There are plenty of talented, stable actors they can hire. Perhaps not as, um,
unique
as Randy, but perfectly fine actors. -

Perhaps he doesn't enjoy watching a show where the two main leads are exploring each others' butt holes.

or maybe he does enjoy have his butt punched by another mans thick length, he's afraid that watching two men fall in love, will push his emotions over the edge, he'll no longer be able too contain the true nature of his sexual orientation from the world.or perhaps he just doesn't like Ozzie actors.ha

Why is being homosexual perverted? And why is it being unnatural in any way relevant considering most things mankind do is unnatural i.e. eat until we die, drive V8's to poison the earth until it uninhabitable, have sex with condoms? You came with two truly retarded statements, but maybe that has to do with how terrible schools in Texas and Greece are.
