Randy Rogel is a writer, performer, singer, songwriter, and pianist. Randy was a writer for Batman: The Animated Series. When he heard that production was beginning on Animaniacs, he immediately wanted to come on board, but since he was working on Batman, which was a serious work, he was not hired. As his son was studying geography, both Randy and his son realized that the nations of United States and Canada and Mexico and Panama all rhymed. Randy began writing a song and sent it to the show. Thus Yakko's World was born. After that, he became one of Animaniacs resident songwriters and later wrote some cartoons without musical numbers.
Randy later wrote some songs and cartoons for Histeria! and performed the Donald O'Connor role in a regional production of Singin' in the Rain. Most recently, for Rob Paulsen's podcast "Talkin' Toons", he got to perform some of the songs he wrote for Animaniacs Live with Rob. Randy also returned to write for the Animaniacs reboot. He voiced an animated version of himself in "Anima-nyet".
