Given that insight, it’s not surprising that he was later inspired to take a beloved side character (that mostly acts as a running gag) and let him run amok with his own squad. Interestingly, in a 2017 interview, Keeso notes that of all the different groups that make up the cast of Letterkenny, the hockey crew was the one that viewers seemed to be drawn to the most. The fun gimmick is that while Keeso obviously plays both characters, one with a higher voice, the audience never gets to see Shoresy’s face….until now. He shows up on occasion to chirp the boys on the Letterkenny Shamrocks hockey team and to offer some foul commentary. In addition to the lead character, Wayne, Keeso plays this trash-talking hockey player in the original series. The name Shoresy might be recognizable to some Letterkenny fans. It has its own peculiar charisma, distinctly unique set of new characters and a plot with a high-stakes goal. While Shoresy and Letterkenny share a lot of the same charm, rhythmic alliteration, and a lead actor, Shoresy is not a carbon copy of its predecessor. When its spinoff series, Shoresy premiered in May 2022, it became the number one most-watched Canadian series to launch on Crave. From that web series, Letterkenny was born. When he began to consider developing that project further, he reformatted the content for the screen. He and a childhood friend started the anonymous Twitter account Listowel Problems based on the goings-on in their hometown. The series that Keeso himself thought might be too niche for some audiences to fall in love with started on an online platform. Before long, the Canadian small-town treasure was reaching audiences around the globe, even attracting some A-List attention. ![]() Back in 2016, Jared Keeso’s smash hit, Letterkenny released its debut season for streaming.
