Lyle Gorch, played by Jeremy Ratchford is a character from the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Lyle and his brother Tector arrive in Sunnydale. While hanging out at the mall, Lyle notices Buffy Summers and the two fight. He narrowly escapes before being stakes. He and Tector move into the sewers and feed on rats in order to stay hidden.
When Lyle and Tector attacked Buffy at school, the staff had been infected with an ancient parasite called the Bezoar. It caused the staff to consume Tector, killing him. Lyle blamed Buffy. When Buffy destroys the Bezoar, Lyle runs away in fear.
Later, Lyle shows up again, now married to Candy. They both take part in SlayerFest, a contest arranged by Mr. Trick to kill Buffy and Faith Lehane. Lyle and Candy ambush Rupert Giles and wait for Buffy to show up. Buffy slays Candy and Cordelia Chase, mistaken for Faith, manages to scare Lyle enough for him to run away again.
