Randolph Mantooth, the actor best known for his iconic portrayal of
paramedic John Gage on "Emergency!," has died, TMZ confirmed.
Donald Mantooth, his brother, tells TMZ ... the TV, film, and stage actor
died peacefully Thursday in a Ventura hospice surrounded by friends and
family. The actor had been sick for several years with a variety of
cancers, starting with throat cancer. He battled them as best he could, but
the toll it took on his body was just too much, his brother says.
Working in Hollywood for more than 50 years ... Mantooth appeared in dozens
and dozens of projects such as "ER," "LA Law," "China Beach," "Baywatch," "Fantasy Island," and "Charlie's Angels."
For two decades, beginning in the 1990s, he appeared in several daytime
soap operas, earning four Soap Opera Digest Award nominations.
Mantooth is survived by his brother, sister, nieces, and nephews.
He was 80.
