• Birth Name: Randy DeRoy Mantooth
• Birth Place: Sacramento, California
• Birth Year: 1945

This reference will be used as an unequivocal source for Mr. Mantooth's birth year and birth name. He quotes ..."my birth name is Randy DeRoy Mantooth"..."I was born in Sacramento, California, I'm a Baby boomer, in 1945", among so much more interesting facts that need to be added to this article, i.e. he changed his name from "Randy" to stage name "Randolph" early in his career at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. ♫ Cricket02 (talk) 03:31, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Reliable sources

For future reference, please see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources that is a guideline that discusses the reliability of various types of sources. The policy on sourcing is Wikipedia:Verifiability, which requires inline citations for any material challenged or likely to be challenged, and for all quotations. The policy is strictly applied to all material in the mainspace—articles, lists, and sections of articles—without exception, and in particular to biographies of living persons, which states: Contentious material about living persons (or recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.

Removal of header Friendship with Julie London

In this edit, I removed the header Friendship with Julie London. Yes, it's nice the cast of E all remained friends, but a separate section is unnecessary because as prolific as this actor is, he must have other close friends that he has kept in touch with as well from the numerous movies, TV shows, and soaps he has done, and they can't all be mentioned in their own sections either. I also removed the first part of the section because the only statement the source provides at johnnysgreenpen is that his father was a fan of Julie's music and that his father did not get to meet him. Period. Therefore, this was removed: As a little boy of the 1950s, Mantooth, along with his family, was a fan of Julie London's music, despite the fact his father didn't meet him, then, years later, Randy co-starred alongside her and second husband, Troup, on Emergency!, with the insistence of London's ex-husband Jack Webb. The rest of the paragraph was well sourced, kept, and moved to the Emergency section where this information is more relevant. Cheers. ♫ Cricket02 (talk) 05:27, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Removal of extraneous material regarding Julie London. Despite the fact it was sourced from the Emmy TV Legends interview, however, the description of a visit to her home and the effort to get her to sing again does not support the topic that it was entered in, Emergency! It is great that kept the friendship but that is something that is outside of the realm of the show. Echoing an earlier post, the material was extraneous and did not tell the story of the show or Mantooth's career. ~~NDakotaCelt~~ . — Preceding unsigned comment added by NDakotaCelt (talk • contribs) 20:56, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

ADAM-12

Kent McCord was on Adam-12, NOT Randolph Mantooth. 66.181.226.165 (talk) 11:23, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

ADAM-12 *CORRECTION*

Randolph Mantooth WAS a guest on Adam-12. I mistakenly thought that the Wikipedia article had him confused with Kent McCord. My sincerest apologies. 66.181.226.165 (talk) 11:41, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Correct. He appeared in two episodes. One, in 1971, almost a year before Emergency! started airing, where he played a chip-on-the-shoulder ranch-hand who is suspected of theft from this employer; the other, in Fall 1972, where he played his Emergency! character in a cross-over episode. jmsofia (talk) 23:47, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
