Robert Random
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Random (born January 29, 1943 in Chilliwack, British Columbia), usually billed as Bob Random, is a Canadian-born character actor, who appeared in both movies and television from the mid-1960s to the late 1980s.
Random's television work tended to be in dramatic roles, in venerable programs like Dr. Kildare, Mr. Novak, Ben Casey, and Lassie, or Western shows like Gunsmoke, The Virginian, The Iron Horse, and The Legend of Jesse James (which starred Christopher Jones). He did occasional comedies, including The Dick Van Dyke Show and Gidget (in a recurring role as Gidget's friend Mark).
His best-remembered movie role is as Rick, one of Beau Bridges and Joy Harmon's co-villains in the 1965 teen comedy Village of the Giants. He also appeared in This Property Is Condemned (1966) and ...tick...tick...tick... (1970). Mosby's Marauders (1967), in which he played Private Lomax, was later repeated on The Wonderful World of Disney under the title Willie and the Yank.
His last appearances were in an episode of Get Christie Love, and as the biker Reaper in the second and third The Danger Zone movies, taking over from Robert Canada, who played the character in the original.
