Officially disguised as a Canadian
Announcing my directorial debut behind the camera, again written by Christopher Heatherington and Sherri Dahl. I have directed for stage on several occasions, and this was a very different experience. A film director has very little control by comparison. In this case, the actors and camera tell the story. Framing the scene is critical. Also,Continue reading Sancha’s Cause (Is Coming To Town)
In 2005, I taught Computer Literacy at Beaulieu College in Kyalami. It was fun. During my time there, I helped some students produce a play, based on an extremely short story I wrote in my youth, called Pineapple George. This was the transmogrified version, with undue credit. I hope this haunts their Google searches inContinue reading Pineapple George: thirty minutes of mayhem and bison blood
I did some shooting yesterday for a couple of commercials. The boom mic is resting on a step ladder because we didn’t have enough crew.

I had to clap my ownContinue reading Weekend shooting: commercials
The American Dream is alive and… uh, well… Today, after about a month of rehearsals, Chris, Sherri, Jury, Oleksandr, Elijah, Bryan and I helped bring together a vision of a satirical radio show through a camera lens or three. Look out for it in the coming months! Watch the full short film on YouTube.
It’s a big deal for me. My role as Peter in the film Imitative Magic is up on IMDb. I’m coincidentally hosting the screening of the movie at my house in two weeks. This is very exciting. I have maybe four or five minutes of screen time, but that makes me incredibly happy.
Yesterday evening, I did my second (and final) scene from a feature film being shot in Calgary, by Blaise Kolodychuk and SC Entertainment. And this morning, I signed a non-disclosure agreement for a short film that is being shot early next month. Speaking of next month, we plan to shoot more episodes of our webContinue reading Feature Films and Short Films, Oh My
On Saturday, a horde of people descended on my house and we shot another episode of our new web series. This is confusingly the fourth episode of the series, but only the third one we’ve shot. While it would be against the rules to tell you too much about the content, I can tell youContinue reading Behind the Scenes
This is my demo reel, courtesy of Peter Skagen. None of these is my real accent.
I’m happy to be here, and to say hello to all of you. My name is Randolph, and I grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa. In 2010 I moved with my spouse to Canada, and have been setting up shop here in the performing arts ever since. I’ve got a page on IMDb, which isContinue reading Hello from a professional Calgary actor!
