Rest in peace Randy DeRoy Mantooth, known professionally as Randolph Mantooth (September 19, 1945 – July 9, 2026), who died yesterday at the age of 80. A long term member of the SAG-AFTRA and life-long advocate for fire based EMS delivery.

Mantooth was best known for playing Firefighter/Paramedic John Gage on the NBC drama Emergency!, which ran from 1972 to 1979 alongside Kevin Tighe as his partner, Roy DeSoto.

Of Cherokee and Seminole heritage, Mantooth remained a lifelong advocate for firefighters, paramedics, and EMTs long after Emergency! left the air, making appearances at conferences nationwide and being named an Honorary Fire Chief by the Los Angeles Fire Department in 2012. He revealed a cancer diagnosis in 2015 and completed treatment. Mantooth died at a hospice facility in Ventura, California, after being ill for a number of years. He is survived by his wife, Kristen Connors, and siblings Donald and Tonya.

Thank you for your advocacy and for bettering this world through your art and talent.
