On the heels of his
performance in Naked City in 1948, John
Randolph's film
career was sideswiped when his name emerged on the now-infamous Hollywood
Blacklist. It was the beginning of an era that would deny him employment
in movies for the next fifteen years. But nothing could hold back the
irrepressible Randolph. He stayed in New York and worked in theater—a
safer haven for artists with less-than-popular political views—and
when the climate of paranoia improved a little, he headed west and went
back to work. John's rich career
encompasses too vast a range to list, but noteworthy credits include Seconds,
Pretty Poison, Serpico, Heaven Can Wait, Prizzi’s Honor, National
Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and You’ve Got Mail, as well
as television appearances as varied as Bonanza, Hawaii Five-O, Night
Gallery, M*A*S*H, Dynasty, Married…With Children, Roseanne, Touched by
an Angel, and Seinfeld. During the filming of The
Dogwalker, John was also involved with the production of the 50th
anniversary event, "Hollywood Remembers The Blacklist", and he
remains active as a member of the Screen Actors Guild Board of Directors,
hoping to serve as a constant reminder and educator about this dark piece
of recent history. |
