Remembering Randolph Mantooth, TV’s Emergency! Star, Dies at 80

Randolph Mantooth, best known for playing firefighter-paramedic Johnny Gage on NBC’s Emergency!, has died at 80 in a Ventura, California hospice after a long illness. The 1970s series, which ran six seasons, made him a TV icon and he did many of his own stunts. Mantooth later reprised the role on other shows and remained a longtime advocate for firefighters and EMTs. He is survived by his wife Kristen and his siblings Donald and Tonya.

Randolph Mantooth, Johnny Gage of Emergency!, Dies at 80

Randolph Mantooth, the actor who played firefighter-paramedic Johnny Gage on NBC’s Emergency!, died at 80 in a Ventura hospice after years of illness, his brother said. The 1970s series (six seasons and telefilms) and Mantooth’s pairing with Kevin Tighe helped popularize paramedics and EMS across the U.S.; he later appeared on soaps like Loving and General Hospital and was named an honorary fire chief by the L.A. County Fire Department, frequently speaking about the debt he owed to emergency responders.
