Randy James (also known under his SAG name Randy Pflug) is an actor who played for eleven years the background part of Lieutenant Jones in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine beside other small parts. He was also a stand-in for guest stars and the main stand-in and photo double for Colm Meaney. One of his uniform trousers were sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay and also worn by Avery Brooks. The name tag misspelled his name as Randy Phlug. [1]

James was born in Omaha, Nebraska and has started his career as a stage actor in Omaha and Los Angeles. In the late '80s he was the manager of an auto parts store and made his first step into the film business.

Among his resume as a stand-in and background performer are films such as When Harry met Sally (1989, with Franc Luz), The Hunt for Red October (1990, with Timothy Carhart, Daniel Davis, Ned Vaughn, and Gates McFadden), What's Eating You ? (2000, with Leslie Ackerman, edited, produced, and directed by Jonathan West, and script supervising by Trisha Burton), and The Dying Gaul (2005, as stand-in for Peter Sarsgaard).

His resume also includes television series such as Hunter, Cheers (starring Kirstie Alley), Roswell (1999-2002, as stand-in for Deep Space Nine guest star William Sadler), Baby Bob, ER, and Scrubs (starring Ken Jenkins).
