Josh Randall is a dark-haired and handsome actor who first gained widespread recognition through his role as a young doctor on the NBC series Ed, which aired from 2000 to 2004. Before making his mark on television, Josh Randall began his journey in the world of theater in San Francisco, gradually transitioning into independent film—both in front of and behind the camera.
While studying English and playing basketball at San Francisco State University, Josh Randall was introduced to acting by a fellow student and playwright who invited him to participate in a production titled Sound Barriers. This experience proved to be a turning point, prompting Randall to shift his focus toward acting. He soon became involved in stage productions in both San Francisco and Los Angeles, appearing in plays such as Benchmarks, A Lesson in Obedience, and Barefoot in the Park.
Josh Randall’s transition to screen work was a natural progression of his growing talents. In 1997, he appeared in the independent feature The Last Time I Committed Suicide, which premiered on Cinemax, playing the role of a cop. At the same time, he contributed behind the scenes as a grip on the same project. Earlier, in 1996, he had appeared in the direct-to-video drama Somebody Is Waiting, starring Gabriel Byrne. Randall also worked as a grip on an episode of the Nickelodeon series Shaqille O’Neal’s Sports Theater.
In 1997, Josh Randall took on dual responsibilities as both a producer and actor in the black comedy The Party Crashers, where he portrayed The Bruise—a sidekick to a financially struggling screenwriter who decides to rob an A-list party for fast cash. His ability to juggle both creative and logistical roles behind the scenes, while delivering a memorable performance, showcased his versatility.
In 2000, Josh Randall made a guest appearance on Angel, the popular supernatural spin-off, playing the role of a bartender. Shortly after, he landed his breakthrough television role in Ed. The show, a quirky hour-long comedy, cast Randall as a young doctor and new father, navigating the challenges of maintaining a happy home life with his neurotic wife Nancy (played by Jana Marie Hupp), all while dealing with the difficult and irritable Dr. Jerome (Martin Chatinover).
Portraying a character who was professionally competent yet constantly overwhelmed at work, and humorously immature when with his best friend (played by Tom Cavanagh), Josh Randall brought both charm and emotional depth to the role. His performance resonated with audiences and firmly established him as a versatile and engaging actor in the television landscape.
So, when it comes to Josh Randall’s filmography, things get a bit interesting — his highest rated movie is actually Timber Falls (2007), which also happens to be his lowest rated film. Yeah, you heard that right. It’s the same movie. That means, at least based on current ratings, Timber Falls (2007) stands both at the top and bottom of Josh Randall’s acting career. Pretty unique situation, honestly. For now, Josh Randall seems to have this one standout — or perhaps double-standout — entry in his name, making Timber Falls (2007) a curious highlight in his body of work.
