Well, sure. Some writing schools recommend action lines in preference to parentheticals. Me, I don't see the difference, I wouldn't bounce your script for
CHRIS
(shouting)
Bobby!
...any more than I would bounce it for
CHRIS
BOBBY!
...without the preceding action line, since BOBBY! is obviously shouted (capped plus exclamation mark).
