Randy Dickey - Line Producer

Born in the shadow of Seattle’s famous Space Needle and blessed with a name like his, Randy Dickey was destined for a career in entertainment. Early on, he learned to turn the tables on the kids who picked on him by making them laugh. After finding out his name in the British vernacular translates to "Horny Penis," he contemplated the adult film industry. Nevertheless, Randy’s forays into the world of entertainment have been a roller coaster ride on both sides of the camera.
His first job was as the youngest writer on the sports staff of The Olympian, one of western Washington’s largest newspapers. His first role on film was that of "Bartione Tuba Player #1" in the Oscar-Nominated (Best Costume Design) film Heart Like A Wheel(Look for the back of Randy’s head about an hour in).
After excelling in a TV production course in high school, Randy took his communication skills to Washington State University where he not only wrote for the college paper and hosted his own show on the campus radio station, but also helped create the emmy-winning college television comedy show, Live at Eight.
The 30-minute, live sketch comedy program not only helped Randy develop his skills as a writer, producer and performer, but introduced him to several friends he would remain close with for years to come.
After college, Randy’s dream was to pursue a career as a comedy writer/performer. But to make money, he learned to bartend. Since 1991, Randy has worked in all aspects of the television world. From sports productions, to network specials, to local television promotion, Randy has lived the best and worst the TV industry has to offer … and they still pay him!
In 2000, Randy joined back up with a handful of friends from college to come up with a way to use all of their shared experience to create TV and film productions on their own terms. The Five Stages of Beer is the first production to evolve from those meetings.
Randy is currently writing a screenplay for an all-mime version of Fiddler on The Roof. He is single and lives in Seattle. (Phone number available upon request, ladies)
