Josh Randall
As Dr. Mike Burton
Josh Randall plays Dr. Mike Burton, the title character's best friend -- or "a guy who wanted the all-American dream and now has it, and isn't quite sure where to go from there," says Randall. Off-screen, Randall was headed down a different road than acting until a fateful class in college forever changed his life.
Randall was born and raised in Pacific Grove, California. He played basketball in high school and continued playing at San Francisco State University, where he graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in English literature. In his junior year, one of the playwrights in his writing class kept using Randall to read his dialogue out loud. The playwright wound up offering him a part in his play, "Sound Barriers," prompting Randall to pursue an acting career after college.
He continued to perform on stage, starring in San Francisco productions of "Enemy Territory," "Green Room," "Benchmarks," "Permanently Missing," "A Lesson in Obedience" and "The Stage," and a Los Angeles production of "Barefoot in the Park."
He recently guest-starred as a bartender on the series "Angel." His film credits include a featured role in the independent drama "Last Time I Committed Suicide," the dark comedy "The Party Crashers," and in "Somebody Is Waiting," opposite Gabriel Byrne. He also starred in the short film "The Stork and the Pussycat."
In his spare time, Randall enjoys writing, hiking and playing basketball. He lives in Los Angeles and is engaged to be married this fall. Randall's birthday is January 27.
