Volker (played by Gary Daniels) is a protagonist in The Gardener. Volker leads the criminal operation targeting Lauren’s home and the valuable drives inside it.

Drake (played by Jon Callaway) appears in The Gardener. Drake is involved in planning the criminal break-in and insists that the operation avoid unnecessary killing. His position is shaped by an earlier mistake that caused the deaths of an innocent family, placing him in opposition to uncontrolled violence even as the invasion of Lauren’s home goes wrong. Hannah (played by Sarah T. Cohen) appears in The Gardener. Hannah belongs to Lauren’s household and becomes cautiously interested in Peter while he works as the family’s gardener. During the home invasion, Peter urges her to climb the fence, reach the neighbors, and call the police, while he stays behind to defend the household.
