By Mads Lennon
Locke and Key season 3 is here and as the series draws to its final, epic conclusion, you might find yourself curious to learn more about the show’s cast. Specifically, how old are the real-life actors on the show compared to their characters’ ages?

Connor Jessup age
Tyler Locke turning 18 is a big plot point in Locke and Key season 2 because it means he’ll no longer be able to remember magic.

Emilia Jones age
Emilia Jones plays Kinsey Locke in the series and she’s a couple of years younger than her elder brother Tyler. In real life, the English actress 20. She was born on February 23, 2002, so she would have still been a teenager when she started the show and close to Kinsey’s age on-screen.
Jackson Robert Scott age

Griffin Gluck age
Dodge transforms into Kinsey’s boyfriend Gabe, played by Griffin Gluck, in season 2. Gabe’s actor Griffin Gluck is close in age to Emilia Jones, so that is fitting. Griffin was born on August 24, 2000, making him 21, although he’ll turn 22 very soon!
