What character does Charles Blyzniuk play on Netflix Tires?

Charles Blyzniuk plays an unnamed reporter on Netflix Tires. He is introduced in the first episode when he comes to Valley Forge Automotive to interview Will about his initiatives at the repair shop.

Blyzniuk's reporter is referred to as a probable journalism intern by Shane, who then goes on to regularly interrupt Will's interview with ill-timed jokes and annoying comments. Will even oversells the shop in an attempt to appear welcoming to the reporter, and the whole interview spirals in the end.

Blyzniuk's character also reappears in the season's last episode, the only two times the character appears on the show. His portrayal of the placid and often bland reporter perfectly fits in with Will and Shane's comedic moments, making his appearance and character memorable.
