You should really clarify. The Actor from Emergency known as John Gage. He was 80 years old. Our Randy from HX is much younger, and shall I go out on a limb and state that he is very much ALIVE.

He clarified who he was talking about with the link. I was afraid it was "our" Randy too until I clicked on it.

Oh, THAT Randy Mantooth who played the strong but sensitive paramedic John Gage on "Emergency!" in the 1970s. At first I was yelling "Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!". He made it to 80 and that's not a bad run.

Very cool guy .
I met him multiple times.
We were in the same circles for awhile.
R.I.P. Randy from emergency.

Sad day indeed. Especially for those who were hoping this blog was about me. Hell, even I had to click the link to make sure.
I promise not to die, as long as Maribel promises not to block me.
Pour one out for the OG Randy. I nearly went with Johnny Gage for my handle back in the day. Glad I chose Randy. I'll do my best not to besmirch the name of a great man.

RIP Randolph.
I like to think that he and the show are to some degree responsible for saving millions of lives by this point. The awareness the show created led to funding priorities which rapidly accelerated the EMS infrastructure in this country, and throughout the world. Legions of paramedics cite the show as an inspiration to enter the field.
When the show debuted, there were only a small handful of advanced life support emergency units in the US. A decade later, about half of Americans lived within 10 minutes of paramedic resources. Today, just about everyone in the US lives within and is serviced by a 911 system with capabilities to provide life-saving care in the field.

"Sad day indeed. Especially for those who were hoping this blog was about me. Hell, even I had to click the link to make sure."
Good one, Randy. As Larry the Cable Guy would drawl: "I don't care who ya are, that's funny right there."
Now there's only 1 OG Randy above the dirt. May he live long and prosper.

I knew him casually he was never a fireman but he was an honorary fireman and had a lot to do with The Paramedic program he also bought property that he rented in many firemen rented them from him condos and beach resort places in Mexico and Palm Springs he did a lot for The Paramedic program and the fire department thought of him as a honorary fireman he will be missed by many people

Dude I'm so glad it was a different Mantooth.

Why do I suddenly have the theme song in my head? Haven't heard it in decades, but, obviously, still rattling around in my head.
Bonus Question - who wrote it?
Double Secret Bonus - That musician also produced an album in 1983 with a beautiful singer. Name that singer.

Working in Hollywood for more than 50 years ... Mantooth appeared in dozens and dozens of projects such as "ER," "LA Law," "China Beach," "Baywatch," "Fantasy Island," and "Charlie's Angels."
For two decades, beginning in the 1990s, he appeared in several daytime soap operas, earning four Soap Opera Digest Award nominations.
Mantooth is survived by his brother, sister, nieces, and nephews.
He was 80.

Maribel_310 and Randy have me blocked.
That being said. Fun show on the heels of Route 66.
Having cancer take one out is a tough way to go.
