Jackson Robert Scott Plays Bode Locke

Who Is Bode Locke?
The youngest of the Locke children, he somewhat accidentally forms a special bond with the keys in the Locke House. He is very smart and perceptive for his age and refuses to heed his siblings' wishes, like when he’s told to stay behind.

Where You've Seen Scott
Scott is no stranger to the scary and spooky as he played Georgie in both IT and IT Chapter 2 (Andy Muschietti, who directed IT, is an executive producer on Locke & Key). He’s also been part of an Academy Award-winning short film, Skin, which took home an Oscar in 2008.

Connor Jessup Plays Tyler Locke

Who Is Tyler Locke?
The oldest of the Locke children, Tyler is jaded with everything and less than enthusiastic about moving across the country. Due to events we’ll see play out in the series (no spoilers!), he blames himself for his father’s death and feels immense guilt from it.

Where You've Seen Jessup
For four seasons Jessup played Ben Mason on TNT’s Falling Skies. He’s also appeared in two seasons of ABC’s American Crime anthology.

Emilia Jones Plays Kinsey Locke

Who Is Kinsey Locke?
The middle child, Kinsey is incredibly artistic and spends a lot of her free time doodling. She doesn’t necessarily go through a rebellious streak, but she does feel more comfortable in her skin after dying part of her hair pink. Additionally, she might be the bravest of the Locke children because she literally gets rid of her fear. It's a whole thing.

Where You've Seen Jones
Jones has appeared on stage and the big and small screen over the years, including playing Young Fiona in Shrek the Musical. She also played Alice in Utopia and Anne Cromwell in Wolf Hall.
Sherri Saum Plays Ellie Whedon

Who Is Ellie Whedon?
A long-time resident of Matheson, Ellie is an old friend of Rendell Locke. As a teenager, she was romantically linked to Lucas. Now, she’s busy working at the high school while also raising her son, Rufus.

Where You've Seen Saum
For five seasons Saum played Lena Adams Foster on The Fosters and has already reprised the role on Freeform’s Good Trouble. Additionally, she’s had roles on Roswell, New Mexico, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Rescue Me. She also had a role on One Life to Live and received an Emmy Nomination for America's Favorite Couple.
Griffin Gluck Plays Gabe

Who Is Gabe?
A student at Matheson boarding school who works as craft services on Scot’s film. He quickly becomes good friends with Kinsey.

Where You've Seen Gluck
Gluck recently starred in Netflix’s Tall Girl as Jack and American Vandal as Sam. As for non-Netflix shows, he played Mason Warner for 30 episodes of Private Practice and the short-lived Red Band society as Charlie.
Darby Stanchfield Plays Nina Locke

Who Is Nina Locke?
Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode’s mother who is grieving the loss of her husband, Rendell. She works flipping houses and is a recovering alcoholic (but she’s been sober for a few years now). It’s Nina’s idea to uproot her family and move them across the country to Massachusetts to live in the Locke House. While her kids can clearly see the “magic” of the Locke House, a lot of it is lost on her.

Where You've Seen Stanchfield
If you’re a fan of Scandal, you recognize Stanchfield as Abby Whelan. She also played one of the Drapers' neighbors for two seasons on Mad Men and has been on all those shows you seem to only watch at the gym, like The Mentalist, Cold Case, Private Practice, and Bones. She’s also got a role in Disney+’s upcoming Stargirl.
Laysla De Oliveira Plays Dodge

Who Is Dodge, aka Well Lady, aka Echo?
Explaining too much about Dodge is a big spoiler so let’s just say she’s someone who Bode comes across exploring the grounds of the Key House and she causes a whole lot of trouble.

Where You've Seen Oliveira
Oliveira recently starred in Netflix’s latest adaptation of Stephen King’s In the Tall Grass. These past few years she’s also appeared on iZombie and Fox’s The Gifted.
Thomas Mitchell Barnet Plays Sam Lesser

Who is Sam Lesser?
A classmate of Tyler’s back in Seattle who is responsible for the death of Rendell Locke.

Where You've Seen Barnet
Locke & Key is Barnet’s first major television role, but he has popped up in Premium’s Wayne and the indie Run this Town with Ben Platt.
Aaron Ashmore Plays Duncan Locke

Who is Duncan Locke?
Rendell Locke’s younger brother who lives in Boston. Though he spent his entire childhood at the Key House, he barely remembers any of it.

Where You've Seen Ashmore
Yes, he looks like Shawn Ashmore but this is really Aaron Ashmore, Shawn’s twin brother (yes, they’re identical and it’s near impossible to tell them apart, even with the help of IMDB). This Ashmore’s the one who wooed Veronica Mars in season 1, played Jimmy Olsen on Smallville, and recently appeared on the latest Netflix season of Designated Survivor.
Coby Bird Plays Rufus

Who Is Rufus?
Ellie’s son who becomes friends with Bode. Though he has learning impairments, it’s clear that he’s much smarter than he sometimes lets on.

Where You've Seen Rufus
Bird, who is also on the autism spectrum, like his character, has appeared on episodes of The Good Doctor and Speechless.
Genevieve Kang Plays Jackie Veda

Who Is Jackie Veda?
One of the popular girls at Matheson, who becomes friends with Tyler.

Where You've Seen Kang

Rendell’s childhood friend and Ellie’s childhood boyfriend.

Bill Heck Plays Rendell Locke

Who is Rendell Locke?
Nina’s former husband and Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode’s dad. He was a guidance counselor in Seattle and was killed by one of his students.
