I had the most random thought today during my long commute to work – whatever happened to Randall “Tex” Cobb?
You may remember Cobb as the Road Warrior’eque bounty hunter from Raising Arizona or the ‘Nam vet with the grenade around his neck from Uncommon Valor (two of my favorite flicks).
Before he was an actor he was a pretty successful pro boxer and kick boxer. As an actor he was in dozens of movies and TV shows during the 80’s and 90’s. Then – after a couple stints on Walker, Texas Ranger in 2001 – nothing.
I did some searching around about ol’ RTC and found out that he will be staring in a movie coming out in 2007. It will be good to have him back, but if you can’t wait that long for your RTC fix then check out the Randall “Tex” Cobb Tribute page or WikiP’s ode to the big guy.

I saw Randall sunday at the Drexel VT wrestling meet. Tex is doing good, and was a pleasure to see as always.

Thanks for the Tex update/sighting. It’s good to hear the big guy is doing well.

Randall just graduated, with honors, from Temple University (Philadelphia) with a BS in Sports and Recreation Management. He graduated Magna Cum Laude.
