The most interesting fact about the presentation of Shoresy's character in Letterkenny is that his face is obscured in the sitcom, adding a touch of mystery to the character. There have been several theories about why Shoresy's face has never been shown. As it turns out, there is a highly fascinating reason, and it's closely tied to the actor who portrays Shoresy's character in the sitcom.

Jared Keeso, who is the creator of Letterkenny, is also one of the writers of the sitcom.

Keeso also plays the lead character Wayne and another pivotal character Shoresy. Shoresy happens to be a regular character in the sitcom. Because of this, it's understandable why the character's face is never revealed to the audience.


Shoresy's character can be seen on both ends of the spectrum, from providing comic relief to being a prominent antagonist. The character's foul-mouthed exclamations have been a vital part of the show. His countless schemes and attempts to sabotage opposing ice hockey teams have also been quite noteworthy.

Although Shoresy is not a central character in the show, he has had a deep impact during all 11 seasons of the sitcom. It's safe to say that the decision to not reveal his identity in the sitcom only helps to add to the titular character's lore. The intentional obfuscation of the character's face also enables the sitcom to make recurring jokes revolving around Shoresy's identity.
