Patrick Roach (Randy) was born in Halifax but like many native Haligonians now makes his home in the Dartmouth suburb, Cole Harbour.  Aside from some sketch comedy he performed with Robb Wells and John Paul. Patrick had never acted before he took a role in Mike Clattenburg's feature Trailer Park Boys.  He did so well that Clattenburg cast him as Randy, the Assistant Trailer Park Supervisor in the series.  Besides playing Randy, Patrick holds down a full-time job as regional sales manager for Sparkling Springs, a bottled water company.  He takes vacation days during the summer to act in the series. 

Patrick first met John Paul in the summer of 1984 when John Paul agreed to drive Patrick and another friend to PEI to attend Mike Clattenburg's and Robb Wells' high school graduation party.  John Paul, who had never met Patrick before this, thought Patrick and his buddy were a couple of "nerds".  To Patrick, John Paul was the cool guy with the cool car.  By the time they reached Cavendish, Patrick and John Paul became good buds.  In fact, they became business partners.  Patrick, Robb Wells and John Paul opened a restaurant business on the Island.  Eventually Patrick and Robb sold their interests in the business to John Paul, who has expanded his operation to three restaurants.   Like Robb Wells, Patrick holds a degree in business from Saint Mary's University in Halifax. Patrick is married to Candyce and together they have three children.
