We’ve all heard the stories of an actor who caught their big break walking the dog town the street and catching the eye of a big shot casting director. Or happened to be the kid of a prominent mom or dad. Or booked a major role on their first audition because of plain old fashion good luck and being in the right place at the right time. My guest today is NOT one of those actors. He achieved his success through a tireless work ethic and sheer talent.
Our guest today is Randy Wayne.
Randy is the kind of person working in show business that makes it looks easy. It isn’t, but he makes it look that way. As an actor and producer who has worked predominantly in the horror genre, Randy has played everything from heroes to villains, leading man to supporting. He’s always 100% committed and his versatility has served him well. You’ve seen him in studio horror, indie horror and television horror where he had a recurring role on HBO’s hit “True Blood”.
Randy discusses his beginnings as an athlete who stumbled into acting quite by accident and quickly discovered it was his calling, the joys of location shooting, working with genre veterans like Dee Wallace and Lance Henriksen and preparing for playing a serial killer who loves to drown his victims in “Death Pool”.
Looking through Randy’s credits, it’s clear to see he loves what he does because he keeps a tireless pace. He’s always shooting. Either in front or behind the camera. On top of this, he’s a caring husband and father.
We don’t really know how he does it but this conversation got us a little closer to figuring it out.
We’re all very familiar with the term “Scream Queen”. Let’s talk some shop with one of the great “Scream Kings”… Randy Wayne.
