Oliver Atherton: Mennonite, Wannabe, and Boy Next Door, then nothing. With Mennonite and some co-star in law c*cks

 


Link to the n*de photos

This guy appears in Episode 1.1 of The Way Home, but singing the ridiculously old-fashioned song "Crazy," by Patsy Cline, at a high school talent show.


I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
Crazy for feeling so blue
I knew
You'd love me as long as you wanted
And then some day
You'd leave me for somebody new

When he's finished, he smugly pushes past focus character Alice, who is waiting to go on next.  


She gets stage fright and rushes off,  and he gives her a final zinger: "I knew you were just a one-hit wonder."

Who doesn't feel like punching this guy in the nose?  Or kissing him?

There was considerable fan discussion about the character's name.  The cast list for the episode lists several actors with no photos, playing Jasper, Student 1, Student 2, Teen 1, and so on.  

Turns out he is Wannabe, played by Oliver Atherton.


Researching Oliver presents some problems: An Oliver Atherton has worked as a visual effects supervisor on many movies, and actress Natalie Oliver-Atherton (no relation), crowned Miss Senior America in 2024, has a much stronger internet presence But I found our Oliver's Linkedin.

 He grew up in Etobioke, which sounds very exotic but is actually just a suburb of Toronto, and attended the School of the Arts, a specialized high school where you can concentrate in art, dance, music, or film.  

He has a brother named Vid V__, from Serbia, so maybe he has a Serbian heritage. 

After graduating with a concentration in film in 2018, Oliver enrolled at the University of Toronto.  There he competed in the North American Debating Championship, interned with an English professor (researching 18th century English law, literature, and politics), wrote for the student newspaper, and worked as a bartender at Stackt ("an artsy industrial-chic complex" that offers queer events).

I'm surprised that he had time for auditions.

Maybe he didn't: there are only three acting roles listed on the IMDB.


#1: Murdoch Mysteries Episode 16.6 (2022): A man is brought to the hospital badly injured, and dies before the doctors can find out who he is.  Murdoch and Ogden track him down: Enoch Snider (Oliver), from a Mennonite community.  Turns out that he was murdered because he didn't want to marry the girl he was assigned.  The transcript says that "he didn't fit in with the other boys," and he had a buddy named Mervin (Liam Green), but I couldn't determine if he was gay.

N*de Mennonite man on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends

#2: The short Most of the Time We Are Just Waiting (2022), written and directed by Molly Sheers:  Her town is evacuating, so 13-year old Nora and the Boy Next Door go out looking for her older sister, last seen with a boy "with questionable intentions."  There are only two male actors, Oliver and Piers Bijvoet, so which plays which is up for grabs.  

More after the break











By the way, Piers has only one other acting role, in Falling (2020): John and Erik (Vigo Mortensen, d*ck on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends, Terry Chen) a gay couple with a daughter, find their lives in disarray when homophobic Dad (Lance Henrikson) moves in.  

Piers is far down the cast list, and Oliver isn't involved at all, but a n*de dude is a n*de dude.


Make that two n*de dudes.  I also have Lance Henriksen, photographed by gay poet Allen Ginsberg in 1961.


Back to Oliver: Role #3 is "Crazy for you" Wannabe in The Way Home (2024).

He graduated from the University of Toronto in 2024 with a double major in Political Science and Ethics, Law, and Society.  

And that's all.  His Facebook contains only a few photos, all from his childhood, and no posts.  

No X, Instagram, or Tiktok. Searching on him with the keywords Toronto, Etobioke, theater, debate, political science, and law yields nothing. 

I even checked under the last name of his Serbian brother.




Searching the usual n*de celebrity and hookup websites yields a dude named Oliver, but it's probably not our Oliver.

I've never seen research yield so little information




But at least we have a few cute and enigmatic photos, and a nude Mennonite.
