Randy Wagstaff is a fictional character on the HBO drama The Wire, played by Maestro Harrell.

During season 4, he was an 8th grade pupil at Edward Tilghman Middle School and is friends with Namond Brice, Michael Lee and Duquan "Dukie" Weems.

Randy runs a small business selling snacks and drinks to his peers and neighborhood drug dealers.

Randy loses the money to Western district officer Eddie Walker when he is chased away from a car stolen by his friend Donut.

When the school year begins, Randy ingratiates himself to his home room teacher Roland "Prez" Pryzbylewski with a hand shake and assists in controlling the class.

Randy's scheme gets him into trouble when he is caught in the sixth grade cafeteria by Miss Reese, who recognizes him from her class two years ago.

He is paid by another student to act as a lookout while he and another boy have sex with a fellow middle school girl, Tiffani, in a bathroom.

His friends tease him for thinking Chris turns people into zombies, so Randy talks to Dukie about his worries.

Despite his promise to Dukie not to share the secret, Randy offers his knowledge of the murder to Mrs. Donnelly after she discovers his role in the bathroom incident.

Michael is suspicious of his time away from school and subtly warns Randy against getting involved as an informant for either the police or the teachers.

Although the penalty for informing to police is usually death, Marlo declines to order a hit on the grounds that Randy poses no further threat to him.

Instead, he instructs Chris and Snoop to spread the word that Randy has been speaking to the police and he is labeled as a snitch in the streets.

People looking to hurt Randy notice the car and make a false police call from a nearby telephone booth to get them to leave the scene.

He asks if he can become Randy's foster parent but is told that the vetting process would take months and, in the end, might not be successful.

Randy (noticeably taller and more muscular), having lost his childlike innocence, is unresponsive to Bunk and storms off pushing another kid in the group home down for being in his way.
