This little snot didn't exactly ingratiate himself with the audience or the other characters during his debut. When the makers of The Walking Dead realised they should probably have something happen in the second season/found some extra money down the back of the writers room sofa they decided to send Rick and pals into a new side of town, where they came a cropper of some other survivors. One of whom was Randall, who apparently had some history with Hershel's daughter Maggie and tried to ring that connection for all it was worth. Which turned out to be...not a lot, considering before that he was on a roof trying to shoot Rick, Hershel and Glenn and then expected they save his life after he fell off said roof and impaled his leg on a spike. His Alan Partridge-style entrance didn't exactly pick up from there, with Randall exhibiting the level of charm and grace you'd expect out of Radio Norfolk's premier late-night disc jockey, revealing that he's part of a bigger group that routinely rapes and kills other survivors whilst managing to never thank Rick for saving his life. An odious little man.
