Randy West

Andrew Jay Abrams (October 12, 1947 – September 20, 2024), known professionally as Randy West, was an American pornographic actor.

Early life and pre-porn career West grew up in New York City and moved to South Florida in the late 1960s. He then changed directions and decided to pursue a career in music, performing in several unsuccessful rock bands over the next decade. West also worked as a nude art model during this period. Later in his career he was cast as Robert Redford's body double in the 1993 Paramount Pictures film Indecent Proposal. He has appeared as a performer in over 1,300 pornographic films, alongside an estimated 2,500 female co-stars.

West never married or fathered children, which he blamed on his career for making it hard for him to form "normal relationships." As of 2011, West was living in Las Vegas. He said he retired from the industry due to no longer wanting to live in Southern California, the base of the U.S. adult film sector. As of 2013, he spent his time competing in celebrity golf tournaments for charity.

West died from heart and kidney failure in Las Vegas on September 20, 2024, at the age of 76.
