Randall Rutledge has for years been pursuing all avenues of the entertainment industry.

Relentlessly refusing to give up on what he is so determined to embrace, and that is to join the ranks of those who have successfully preceded him in the industry.

With on set and in-studio experience being his teacher, if degrees were awarded for experience only he would have a Masters.
