About Randall Bowlin
Acting experience, recent release of Hell's Bells where I am a creepy janitor, a fatherly/creepy role for a short film at the Savannah film school (SCAD) for a budding new director, Simon Swofford, for Portrait of a Dead Man, a mystical guru for another budding director, Tucker Bennett, and recently, a hillbilly of the scary kind in a music video for 42 Dugg, a father for the short film, The Funeral, director, Bryce Toups. Although the COVID pandemic slowed me down I am pressing on with a new aim to put more effort into speaking roles. I have a few acting classes in Los Angeles and in college over 20 years ago. Otherwise, I am learning as I do auditions and doing more student films or whatever it takes. I have did a lot of extra/background in TV and films (Throw Momma from the Train, Hidden, Hot to Trot, 1st and Ten, La Guna Heat, Jake's M.O., The Man Who Broke a Thousand Chains, etc.) in the Los Angeles, CA area in 1987, and in 2008 (Up In The Air), in St. Louis, MO. Recently an extra; August 2018, for film and TV (American Reject, Tell Me Your Secrets, NCIS New Orleans, and The Purge), in New Orleans, LA, Just Mercy, Outsiders, Stranger Things, Sweet Magnolias, big part of July on Richard Jewell as a core background, photographer and many more in the Atlanta, GA area, and The Act in Savannah, GA. I've did many others too and I have been a Stand-In on the ACT and cast to be in Gloria's as a protester in January. Aside being featured as a drunk guy, I've also been a dead guy at a bar, crazy man in a psych ward, etc. I continue to add to the list to this date. About 3 years total as a background actor. That is the short list. I did a lot more. I was also in a photo shoot in northern Mississippi for K.K. Wooten. I drove to Tallahassee, Florida to play a creepy janitor in Hell's Bells, I will Airbnb, camp out, whatever it takes. My life trying to do this certainly isn't an easy one as a lot of time to afford it, I am in my car. Not proud of it, it's just what I've had to do. I am not ashamed of trying. More ashamed if I do not. I am from Missouri and I have been in the military. I am used to traveling with this work, the military, laboratory, farming, driving trucks and equipment, office, love being around animals, I can ride a horse, bicycle, and archaeology work over the years. I have helped build theater sets for summer Repertory Theater at the University of Missouri, 1988. Loved it! As an extra I played a patron, dead person, hot dog vendor, waiter, sports fan, policeman, crazy, photographer, college student, standing in a crowd, etc. In acting I tend to like improvisational acting when I did it a long time ago and I used to be good at accents, but I need to work on both again....
