I'm Hugh Ransom Drysdale, just call me Ransom by my middle name. I'm the main antagonist in the film Knives Out and portrayed by Chris Evans. I was portrayed as the black sheep of the family and I was the son of Richard Drysdale and Linda Thrombey. Mg sly tactics almost help me avoid capture for my crimes, but I inadvertently kills Fran and is eventually arrested. I was a complex character with a cunning and manipulative personality.
