Romantic leading man and singing cowboy star, whose illustrious career was somewhat overshadowed by the accomplishments of his brother, the renowned Robert Livingston. Prior to embarking on a film career, Randall honed his acting and singing skills on the prestigious Broadway stage.
Before his foray into the world of Westerns, Randall appeared in a diverse range of non-Western films, showcasing his versatility as an actor. It wasn't until 1937, however, that he signed with Monogram Pictures, marking the beginning of his singing cowboy era.
Unfortunately, despite his impressive vocal talents, Randall's films were met with lukewarm reception, even within the context of the Western genre. The primary culprit behind this lackluster response was the subpar production quality of the films.
After a brief stint as a singing cowboy, Randall continued to take on leading roles in B-Westerns, but without the singing component. His career, however, began to falter rapidly, and he was eventually relegated to supporting parts and villainous roles.
Tragically, Randall's life was cut short when he suffered a heart attack at the age of 39 while filming a riding scene for the 1945 movie, The Royal Mounted Rides Again.
