Randall Keith Randy Orton (born April 1, 1980) is an American professional wrestler and actor, best known to sports entertainment audiences for his career with WWE. Orton was born in Knoxville, Tennessee to Bob Orton, Jr., and his wife, Elaine. He is the grandson of Bob Orton, Sr., and nephew of wrestler-turned-musician Barry Orton.
Randy has a younger brother named Nate and a younger sister named Rebecca. In early life, his parents discouraged him from pursuing any career in professional wrestling due to the time he spent away from home and family. However, while attending Hazlewood Central High School, Orton became involved in wrestling at the amateur level.
Orton graduated from high school in 1998 and then joined the United States Marine Corps. However, after going AWOL twice and disobeying a direct command from a commanding officer, Orton received a Bad Conduct Discharge (BCD) in 1999.
After his brief military stint, Orton chose a career in professional wrestling. During 2000 at the age of 20, Orton began his training, which ran into 2001 the following year. He wrestled at the local training promotion in St. Louis, where he had a working relationship with his father and uncle. Orton also gained experience as a wrestling referee.
During 2001, Orton signed with the then World Wrestling Federation and began training in his instructional program, Ohio Valley Wrestling. Orton made his debut the following year in 2002 at WrestleMania X8 (2002) Fan Exes, defeating Tommy Dreamer. During 2002, Orton began receiving more televised match time and screen-time for promos.
The following year, when the company renamed itself WWE, in 2003, Orton quickly increased his presence on the WWE roster as Evolution opposite Paul Levesque (known as Triple H). The known heel joined the stable. While at Evolution, Orton won his first singles title when he defeated Rob Van Dam for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at WWE Armageddon (2003). The following year, Orton won his second title when he defeated the fan favorite SummerSlam (2004).
By this time, Orton had begun to move away from his Evolution teammates and began to strike on his own. Establishing himself as the Legend Killer, Orton embarks on a crusade to take down every wrestling legend that WWE has to offer. His crusade came to an end when he was defeated by The Phenom, The Undertaker (Mark Calaway) at WrestleMania 21 (2005), after promising WWE fans that he would end The Undertaker's 12–0 undefeated WrestleMania record.
As Orton's career in WWE continued, Orton won the WWE Championship a total of 8 times and was the last World Heavyweight Champion to have won that title 4 times. During the late 2000s, Orton formed a tag team with Adam Copeland (known as Edge), the team that became Rated RKO
(Rated R Superstar and Randy K. The finisher move was named RKO). They won the World Tag Team Championship for the first and last time before losing the title to John Cena and Shawn Michaels. During the early 2010s, Orton formed his own stable called Legacy, which included Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr. Killer-instinct in the wrestling ring.
Outside of wrestling, Orton ventured into acting. He previously intended to star in WWE-produced film titles such as The Marine 2 (2009), but was injured at the time and the lead role was given to Ted DiBiase Jr. When he was considered for a third sequel to The Marines, he was dismissed from consideration due to his history with the USMC
and the lead was given to Mike The Miz Mizanin.
Orton made his film debut in 2011 as the father of a school bully in the film That's What I Am (2011). His next film role was a lead role in 12 Rounds 2: Reloaded (2013), later with a lead in The Condemned 2 (2015) and an appearance in Countdown (2016). In 2016, Orton got a supporting role in the action thriller series Shooter (2016).
