Luke is one of the main protagonists in the Netflix series Julie and the Phantoms. He is portrayed by Charlie Gillespie.

Biography
His parents are Emily and Mitch Patterson. He is their only child. Luke was 17 years old when he died in 1995.

Sometime in the early 1990s, Luke formed a band with their friends Alex, Reggie, and Bobby called Sunset Curve.

Luke's parents were disapproving of his dream to be in a rock band which caused a rift between him and his parents resulting in Luke running away from home.

One night in 1995 Sunset Curve was due to play at a venue called The Orpheum, which has kickstarted many bands careers. According to Luke, "We're playing the Orpheum, I can't even count how many bands have played here and then ended up being huge." After a soundcheck, Luke, Reggie, and Alex went to get "street dogs" (hotdogs) for dinner, which ended up giving them food poisoning and killing them.

Personality
Luke has a very upbeat and fast paced personality. He is kind and caring, but can sometimes lose focus and go off track, such as when they and the rest of the band blew off band rehearsal with Julie to get back at Bobby. Luke also may be bisexual/pansexual with all his experiences with his band mates (Alex and Reggie)

Physical appearance
His eyes are hazel. When standing straight up he measures to be about 5 feet and seven inches tall. His hair is a light brown color, shorter in length, shaggy, it tufts out at the ends and his bangs are a bit longer. He’s generally a very excitable person and that is often reflected in his expressions. Living in California his entire life has to lead him to develop a tan complexion that seems to be unfading even in the winter months. He has a punk-rock grungy style. He can usually be seen wearing a band tee with cut off sleeves, black cuffed jeans, and a beanie. He always wears beads around his right wrist and a watch on his left wrist. He also wears a necklace and multiple rings, and a wallet chain that his wallet and a blue rabbits foot hang from.
