Biography
Just as 1940s Western actor
Rand Brooks should not be confused with bandleader Randy Brooks, neither should African-American general purpose actor Randy Brooks be confused with the two aforementioned performers. This Randy Brooks film's credits include such contemporary actioners as
8 Million Ways to Die (1986),
Colors (1988), and
Quentin Tarantino's
Reservoir Dogs (1992, as Holdaway). Brooks' TV career was launched with the brief 1979 sitcom
Brothers and Sisters, in which he was cast as frathouse member Ronald Holmes. Randy Brooks' longest-lasting TV assignment was as Eric Royal in the multi-racial daytime soap opera
Generations (1989-1992). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
