ā€œ What the shit is this about? I don't remember you asking. AND MY GOD-DAMNED COLA?! ā€ž
~ Randy Lesser's opening line in the show.

Randy Lesser is a minor yet pivotal antagonist in Locke & Key, serving as a flashback antagonist in the first season. He is the abusive father of Sam Lesser and his little sister.

He is portrayed by Thomas Barnett.

What makes him a Hate Sink?[]

  • He abused Sam for presumably his entire life, punching him, cursing at him, and insulting him. While he's not shown being cruel to his daughter, he is willing to pick fights in front of her. Sam literally admits that he frequently wakes up fantasizing about killing Randy for his misdeeds. His abuse towards Sam set the events of the story into motion, as his son was unhinged with torment and this led him to shoot Rendell Locke. His son's actions led him to become damned to spend eternity at Keyhouse Manor, a fate worse than death.
    • In the past, he was shown to underfeed his children and chew Sam out just for making toast. He also pours out his soda that Sam was about to drink, showing how petty he is.
    • Even though he pretends to be friendly when meeting people like Tyler Locke, Tyler somehow deduces that he's a horrible person anyway (there's a blink-and-you-could-miss-it shot when Gabe tells Sam to read what Rendell wrote, it is transcribed, "Tyler's feedback - insecure, seems lonely, mean father.").
  • He doesn't ask after his son when Gabe kills him, going to show just how selfish he truly is.
  • Despite his very minimal screen time, he wastes no time showing us what he's all about, being directly responsible for everything Sam (and the entire Locke family) ends up going through.
  • He has no redeeming qualities, no comedic moments, and faces no consequences for his actions.
