Randy Stone (1958 - 2007) was an Oscar and Emmy Award winning Producer. He began his career in casting at age 17, casting over 50 television movies, eventually winning the Emmy for his work on the CBS movie The Incident. Stone was a Senior VP for 20th Century Fox Television and supervised the original casting and development for dozens of programs including Ally McBeal, Chicago Hope, The Practice and The X-Files.
Perhaps most important to all of us, Randy produced the short film Trevor, a tender and humorous tale of a gay teenagers struggle with his sexual orientation and his attempted suicide. Randy won the 1994 Academy Award® for Best Short Film (Live Action) for his efforts and, along with Peggy Rajski and James Lecesne, the films director and writer respectively, he co-founded The Trevor Project. As you all know, today Trevor operates the only nationwide, around-the-clock suicide prevention helpline for gay and questioning youth. After his passing, Randys family generously requested that any donations in Randy's memory be made to Trevor, certainly one of his greatest legacies.

Jodie-- and all friends and family of Randy: I was a friend of Randy's years ago. We were quite close for a while. I lost touch and attempted to find him again. I knew he would be proud of my success on the east coast. That's when I discovered he died a few months earlier. Let me just add what I'm sure you know and what others have told you in person: Randy was amazing, touched my life in a positive way and left us too soon.
