My Take
Randolph, born Emanuel Hirsch Cohen, is exactly the kind of character actor I treasure. Across stage, film, and television from a New York childhood until his death in 2004, he was the dependable craftsman who made leads look better and stories ring true. Winning the 1987 Tony for Best Featured Actor proves how powerfully a supporting player can command a stage. There's also quiet courage in his story; actors of his generation navigated the blacklist era, and his persistence on the boards speaks to real backbone. Performers like him are the unglamorous foundation great drama is built on.
