Where's the "Emergency!" Star? Actor Randy Mantooth Still Saving Lives
You probably know actor Randolph Mantooth as paramedic John Gage from the 70s primetime drama "Emergency!" He hung up his EMT costume years ago, but the interest in emergency services generated by the show - and by his constant public advocacy for paramedics - have saved many lives. John chatted with the TV star about Emergency, working with Jack Webb, and two new movies he's in: Scream of the Bikini and Bold Native.
In his post-"Emergency!" career, Randy Mantooth had a recurring role on "As the World Turns"...until his character got killed off.
