Drew Starkey is arguably best known for his role on the hit Netflix series "Outer Banks," where he plays Rafe Cameron. Set in the titular coastal region located in North Carolina, the series follows a group of working-class kids called "Pogues" (derived from the slang acronym "POG," a derogatory term for Military personal meaning "Persons Other than Grunts"). In an attempt to explore the mystery of his missing father, "Pogue" John B. (Chase Stokes) leads his friends from "The Cut" on an adventure that involves treasure, conspiracy, and death.
Rafe Cameron is a wealthy resident of the Outer Banks who seeks the attention and approval of his father, Ward (Charles Esten). This desperation reaches such heights that when Ward is arrested by the town sheriff for killing John B.'s father, Rafe in turn kills the sheriff. Though his father eventually takes credit for the killing, John B. knows the truth, placing Rafe at his mercy.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Starkey commented on whether he considers his "Outer Banks" character to be as villainous as he outwardly seems. "This is not a good person overall," he said after earlier stressing that he hopes his portrayal of Rafe had enough nuance to it. "I think the only maybe empathetic part about him is that he's trying — he's truly and honestly trying — to be good. He just doesn't know how."
