Randal Malone, an actor and president of The Southern California Motion Picture Council, died July 28 of kidney disease at Valley Presbyterian Hospital in Los Angeles. He was 66.

His death was confirmed by H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe, a longtime friend and advisory board member of the SCMPC.

Malone played a “film star” on the 1990s MTV dating game show Singled Out and was in several low-budget films.

Born on May 29, 1958 in Kentucky, Malone toured with theater companies after graduating college, including stints on Broadway, before settling in Los Angeles in the late 1980s.

While being the caregiver for his ailing grandmother, Malone dedicated his time and resources to the Motion Picture and TV Fund and worked closely with the late “Mayor of Hollywood,” Johnny Grant, to secure stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Malone’s first film role was in Sunset After Dark, co-starring Oscar winner Margaret O’Brien and Anita Page. His breakout role came on MTV’s Singled Out, where he played several characters, with “Filmstar Randal Malone” a fan favorite. Malone also hosted segments for the Game Show Network.

Survivors include his mother, Shirley, brothers Donald and James, sister Allison, and his partner of 38 years, Michael Schwibs. A memorial service is being planned.
