Randall "Randy" Meeks is a fictional character in the Scream franchise. Randy first appears in Scream (1996) as a high school student with a passion for the horror genre. He is portrayed by Jamie Kennedy. A self-professed "geek", Randy provides comic relief during his appearances throughout the franchise, using his in-depth knowledge of horror film plots and clichés to define the series of murders that occur in the franchise. Director Wes Craven fought for Kennedy's casting for the film, as the studio planned for a bigger name to take the role. Despite Kennedy's lack of experience, Craven got his way, citing that actor Johnny Depp was not a big name when cast in A Nightmare on Elm Street. The character of Randy is known for breaking down the rules of surviving a horror film. In the first film, he lists the rules as being that you must never have sex, consume drugs or alcohol, or say "I'll be right back" when leaving a room. While Randy survives the events of the first Scream, he is killed off in its 1997 sequel, Scream 2, in a controversial decision that screenwriter Kevin Williamson would eventually admit regret over. Randy would make a cameo in Scream 3 in the form of a pre-recorded video message left for Sidney Prescott.
