He’s an actor who originally hails from Santa Ynez Valley, California. Although he briefly attended Santa Barbara City College, Bailey obtained his degree from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City.

Randy Zimmer is a character (played by Bailey) featured in the popular Netflix series, Emily in Paris. We’re first introduced to Randy when Emily tries to recruit him as a client at her French marketing firm.
It all starts when Emily attends an art exhibition, where she crosses paths with Randy (a famous hotel chain owner). After giving him a satisfactory elevator pitch, he decides to move forward with Emily’s idea: create a signature scent. When all seems well, Emily’s boss kisses Randy, ultimately putting the deal at risk.
As we mentioned above, the series follows Emily, a midwestern native who moves to Paris to work at a French marketing company. Emily in Paris documents several relatable scenarios, including “winning over her work colleagues, making friends and navigating new romances” (according to the show’s press release).
In addition to Bailey, the series also stars Lily Collins (Emily), Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie), Ashley Park (Mindy), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), Samuel Arnold (Julien) and Bruno Gouery (Luc).
