Austin Stevenson

Austin Charles Stevenson (July 10, 1990 - October 31, 2020) was an American writer, director and actor who primarily starred in Richalvarez videos. He is most known for his role as Brock in Stupid Mario Brothers, as well as several other roles in the series. He was also the co-creator and a prominent member of Randumb Productions.

Stevenson joined the cast in Season Two, playing the role of Brock. During the production of Season Three, Stevenson moved to San Francisco for college, limiting his appearances on the channel for a while. He participated in "Act I" of The Movie and managed to film a brief scene in "Act II Part 6". He then reappeared as several characters in The Interactive Adventure, which he wrote. He finally returned as a regular cast member in Seasons Four and Five, reprising his role as Brock, as well as several other characters.

While most of the videos on the Rich Alvarez channel were written by Richard Alvarez, Stevenson took on some of the writing between 2010 and 2013. His most noteworthy writing credits are The Interactive Adventure and The Clicking Noise, but he also wrote many standalone sketches for the channel and even a show called Samurai Shampoo. Furthermore, he composed and wrote lyrics to some of the music featured on the channel.

By July 2012, Stevenson had moved to San Diego along with Julian Petruzzelli and Daen Olson. Stevenson and Olson made a spin-off called Stupid Pokémon Friends, but they cancelled the show after the pilot episode due to tension it caused with RMA Productions, stating that they valued their friendship more. Stevenson and Olson continued to make appearances on the Rich Alvarez channel until late 2013.

In early 2013 he reconnected with Dane Kevin Cook and they started their own YouTube channel called Whatever We Want, the spiritual successor to Randumb Productions, where they uploaded their sketch comedy videos. By late 2013, Stevenson, Olson and Cook were no longer affiliated with RMA Productions.

In the years following, Stevenson and Cook made two independent films: Love Spoons (2018) and Hammer Boys (2019). A third movie called The Staje was in pre-production but sadly never came to fruition.

In October 2020, Austin passed away in his sleep peacefully after complications with prescription medicine, which was announced by Dane in a Twitlonger several months later. He is survived by his amazing family: his sister, his mom and his dad. He is also survived by his wife and daughter, his best friend Dane and his many fans.
