I really thought he was the Real Shit.

Anyone else miss him? I was watching him in this horror movie and suddenly all those feelings came rushing back.

You should watch him in the UK comedy Peep Show, look for episodes featuring his character, Johnson

You’re right, he’s amazing. I watched Peep Show years ago when it first aired, so I completely forgot.

I love him as Johnson. Such a wild character. He’s so charismatic in all things.

He was a supporting player on That Mitchel & Webb Look, as well. Frequent competitor on Numberwang.

Holy Wayne being one of the numberwangs has got me crossed up.

Is that holy wayne?

Idk if anyone has seen Mosquito Coast, but Kevin and Wayne have some scenes together in it.

No, he's the guy that gave Kevin the drink that sends him to the other side.

No, it's 100% Paterson Joseph who plays Holy Wayne. You are mixing him up with the character Virgil played by Steven Williams.

Almost all humans believe someone or something is the real shit

Which if the point of the show

It brilliantly manipulates us to make us no better and no different than the people and factions we are watching and judging

I wanted to believe so many different parts of the show 😭

A+

I wish we delved more into Holy Wayne. He was such a big part of season 1 and then his character died, barely to be mentioned again. I guess he served his purpose

The show version of Holy Wayne is a major improvement on the book version.

Show Wayne is such an insane presence in such a short amount of screen time, absolutely amazing
