He reminded me of the guy who tried to shoot Shaun in Shaun of the Dead. Garrett, Garreth. Devin? Idk, some shitty dude douchbag name. Anyway, I have scunner for him. I will not watch. Edit: it was David. That's not a particularly douchebag name. Great work actor guy! You acted like such a Chad you brought out my innate loathing of the douchey kind to imagine a douchey name.
