Randall "Tex" Cobb (born May 7, 1950) made a guest appearance on Married... with Children as Richard Johnson, a cat burglar, in the Season 7 episode "Un-Alful Entry".

He subsequently dropped out to focus on karate. After earning his black belt, he began training in kickboxing, and went on to win his first nine matches. He began training as a boxer, and then moved to Philadelphia to train at Joe Frazier's gym. He won his first boxing match with a knockout, and went on to knockout his next 13 opponents. He went on to win 42 of his 51 bouts, 35 by knockout. He retired officially in 1993. In 2008, at age 57, he graduated from Temple University with a degree in Sport and Recreation Management.
