His two older brothers did not include him in their games and his parents had already lost the habit of buying toys, so the little one had to manage to have fun. He would pick up stones to paint faces and make them speak: each with a different voice. "It helped me to exercise my throat and my imagination," says the comedian, who is celebrating 50 years of artistic activity.

Randy Jay Burrell is an American actor, writer, director and musician from Tampa, Florida. He is the son of Don Burrell, an insurance agency owner, and Laurie Burrell, a healthcare professional. Randy grew up in a close, loving, adventurous family and is the eldest of four children, three boys and one girl.

At the tender age of 5, Randy displayed an actor's preparedness and generosity in his first theatrical role as the Tin Man in his Kindergarten production of "The Wizard of Oz." Randy knew all of his lines and those of the other characters, which saved the day when the Cowardly Lion forgot his lines and Randy was able to feed his young co-star the lines live on stage. As a boy, he liked creating his own home-movie documentaries of his action figures, getting into character every Halloween, and making people laugh. Beginning at age 10, Randy worked professionally in modeling and acting in Miami, Tampa and Orlando for department stores, TV commercials, book covers and print ads. In his teens, his Uncle Tom introduced Randy to the acoustic guitar, which led to Randy teaching himself classic rock songs and writing his own music. Randy attended the University of South Florida studying theatre performance and entertainment business. While in college, Randy acted in plays, commercials and independent film projects. Shortly before arriving in Los Angeles, he worked on the Florida location of the feature film "Dolphin Tale" (2011) as the double for Harry Connick, Jr. and enjoyed a round of golf with Connick's co-star Morgan Freeman, who motivated Randy to pursue his dream and move to Los Angeles. Once in Los Angeles, Randy earned roles quickly in film, television and commercials. He also performed in an all original rock band in live venues on Sunset Boulevard and all around Los Angeles. Creative on the other side of the camera, Randy has written, directed and produced short films, tv pilots and Web series. Acting has always been a passion of Randy's and he has his sights set on a full career like the greats he admires: Carrey, Costner, Hanks, DiCaprio and Eastwood, the latter whom he had the privilege of meeting in Los Angeles two weeks before filming "Doc Holliday's Revenge", Randy's first western and starring role in a feature. In his free time, Randy enjoys music, movies, video games, all that is Marvel and DC, hiking, surfing, skating, exploring nature, traveling and rooting for his home state teams the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Tampa Bay Rays and the Orlando Magic.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Harlan Briggs (August 17, 1879 – January 26, 1952) was an American actor and vaudeville performer who was active from the 1930s until his death in 1952. During the course of his career he appeared on Broadway, in over 100 films, as well as appearing on television once towards the end of his career. Briggs was born in Blissfield, Michigan. Although he was a graduate of the University of Michigan Law School, he chose to go into acting rather than pursue a career in law. His acting career began in vaudeville at around the beginning of the 20th century. He would make his Broadway debut in 1926, in the drama Up the Line. He worked steadily on Broadway through 1935. On August 6, 1929 he began a successful run in the featured role of G. A. Appleby in It's a Wise Child at the Belasco Theatre. In 1934 he had another featured role in the successful play Dodsworth, as Tubby Pearson. The show opened at the Shubert Theatre on February 24, 1934 and ran for 147 performances, starring Walter Huston as Samuel Dodsworth. After a six-week hiatus, the show reopened at the Shubert on August 20 and ran for an additional 168 performances. When Samuel Goldwyn bought the rights to the play, Briggs was one of two of the original Broadway cast to reprise their roles in the film, the other being Huston in the title role. Briggs would focus on his film career for the remainder of the 1930s, before returning to Broadway in the 1940s, combining both stage and screen performances during that decade. The most successful of his Broadway appearances in the 1940s was as Constable Small in Ramshackle Inn, which featured ZaSu Pitts in her Broadway debut. The Story of Mary Surratt, in which Briggs appeared in 1947, was Briggs' 400th play. Beginning with Dodsworth, Briggs worked consistently in films over the next 16 years, until his death in 1952, appearing in over 100 films. His most famous role was as Dr. Stall in the 1940 comedy classic The Bank Dick, starring W.C. Fields. Other notable films in which he appeared include After the Thin Man (1936), Stella Dallas (1937), Having Wonderful Time (1938), The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1939), Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), My Little Chickadee (1940), Abe Lincoln in Illinois (1940), State Fair (1945), Night and Day (1946), Little Women (1949), Goodbye, My Fancy (1951), and Carrie (1952). The last film on which Briggs worked was The Sea Hornet, which was in production in April and May 1951, and released later that year. On January 26, 1952, Briggs died in Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital from complications resulting from a heart attack. His death occurred almost half a year prior to the release of Carrie. Briggs married actress Viola Scott on July 3, 1914. They had four sons.
