Randy has had several issues with the authorities that started years back.
He sued the Brokeback Mountain producers for allegedly misleading him about the project.
The actor was later accused of maltreatment toward his fellow cast of the musical Lone Star Love, prompting the Actor’s Equity Union to ban and slap him with a heavy fine.
In 2009, Randy and his wife were arrested after failing to pay a $10,000 hotel bill.
Due to lack of money, the two had no choice but to squat on a guesthouse on a property that was once owned by the actor.
They were arrested again for causing massive damages to the property.
Because of his run-ins with the authorities, projects were hard to come by because no producer would seemingly gamble on an actor who’s having problems with the law.
He once sought asylum in Canada but was denied.
Randy was given permission to stay at Vermont but later abused the privilege as he was confirmed to have crossed to California.
