show all Randy McDowell was raised by his father, a Baptist minister and former police officer, after he lost his mother to cancer in 1980. His dad provided much of the attention he needed when he was young, fueling his desire to entertain.
Despite his early enthusiasm for performance, McDowell explored other careers before he focused on his real passion. He attempted professional baseball, which he failed at miserably, and a brief study of law enforcement before he committed to acting full-time.
Experiences with a 2-man comedy team that started in college, N2O Inc., enabled McDowell to perform across the nation and internationally for thousands. The duo's experiences also exposed him to screen-writing and a plethora of roles that have helped him hone his theatrical skills.
Formed in 1997, N2O still travels the country today and performs their unique blend of sketch comedy and short films.
Since 2001 Randy has begun his writing as well as acting completing a series of comedy books, based on his stand-up and sketch comedy, four feature-length screenplays, and a host of short films.
In 2002 he formed Laughing Gas Productions to handle his comedy films, which include Dixie County Line and The Perfect Proposal, an award-winning short film that made its round in the 2004 festival circuit. In addition to Laughing Gas and N2O, McDowell founded Fighting Amish Entertainment, the promotion and distribution branch of his film company.
