Lieutenant Randy Disher is a Fictional Character on the television show '' Monk ''. Disher, played by Jason Gray-Stanford , is Captain Leland Stottlemeyer 's second-in-command and employed at the San Francisco Police force. He is characterized as a naive, loyal, overly ambitious but not necessarily bright assistant to Stottlemeyer. His far-fetched theories and comments about the cases Monk works on are a running gag of the series. Apart from his truly ridiculous theories, which often involve defying the very laws of physics, Disher appears rather competent within his own range of abilities. Like Stottlemeyer, Disher used to be wary of Monk 's abilities, but as the series progressed, he came to admire and respect them. During the series, Disher lost his entire life savings during a trip to Las Vegas (which prompted Monk and Stottlemeyer to come to his rescue), acted once as Natalie Teeger 's bodyguard, and helped Monk find clues for the Trudy Monk case by travelling to New York with him. In high school, he was part of a rock band, the '' Randy Disher Project '', which he resurrected with his fellow bandmates in the episode ''" Mr. Monk Goes To The Dentist "''. The band created a music video entitled ''"I Don't Need a Badge"'', trying to justify Randy's leaving the police force. (The band broke up and Disher returned to the SFPD soon afterwards.) Randy used to argue regularly with (but was secretly attracted to) Monk's first assistant, Sharona Fleming and maintains a friendly, professional behavior towards Monk's second assistant, Natalie Teeger . |
