HERE COMES RANDAL A BERSERKER
Randal Graves is another character from Clerks. He is Dante Hicks best friend and works with him at RST VIDEO and the QUICKSTOP. They have been through it all together. Randal (Jeff Anderson) is much more of a slacker than Dante. He shows up late for work insults the customer and is as crude as you get. He is very protective of Dante. Especially when Dante’s ex Caitlin wants back in his life. Randal is an instigator who loves to defy authority. The character made by Kevin Smith has also appeared in Clerks II, Clerks the animated series, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Randal who will screw up all the time just dosen’t care. In the second movie he accidentally burns down the Quickstop and him and Dante go to work at Mooby’s. Mooby’s is a fast food restaurant originally developed in Dogma another of Smiths movies, they work there and are just as irresponsible and crude as they were in the quickstop. Randal’s favorite movie series is Star Wars and when a fellow co-worker decides to argue for Lord Of The Rings he begins ripping the series. Kevin Smith’s movies are a huge success to the audience he caters to. They are the most loyal fans of a director I have ever seen. His movie credits are CLERKS, CLERKS II, CHASING AMY, DOGMA, MALLRATS, JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK, and Zack and Miri make a Porno. Smith tends to use the same people in his movies. Friends like Brian O’halloran, Jason Mewes, Jeff Anderson the list goes on. They all have great on screen chemistry that can’t be topped in my opinion. My two favorite clerks scenes.
GREAT MOVIES CHECK IT OUT NOW TIL NEXT TIME
DA DUM DA DUM DA DUM SALSA SHARK
Randal is probably my favorite Kevin Smith character. The whole bit in Clerks 2 about his racist granny is just as funny as the ride to the funeral in Clerks talking about his cousin who tried to give himself head. And it was great to see Jeff back in Zack and Miri, frosted like a cake and all.
