i don't play cricket

So, Barney Snaith entered the chat this week, and apparently he is "an individual that could not be ignored." Are we fancasting yet?

I've said before that I think CBC missed an opportunity in the 90s with Callum Keith Rennie, and I think they may be missing another one right now with Noah Reid.

"But Oatmeal," you may say, "While it's true that as Schitt's Creek's Patrick Brewer, he proved that he can play the ultimate supportive love interest, Patrick was a business major who wore straight-leg, mid-range denim - how can Noah Reid play disreputable, rakish Barney Snaith?"

Exhibit A: "a little, whimsical grin that gave him the look of an amused gnome"

Exhibit B: "Every one knew that he was an escaped convict and a defaulting bank clerk and a murderer in hiding and an infidel"

Exhibit C: "But he still retained something a little grim about the jaw."

(Spoilery exhibits under the cut.)

Worlds colliding. (And fandoms hyperventilating)
