Every once in a while—okay, more often than I’d like to admit—I’ll be watching something and spot a familiar face that I just can’t place. You know the feeling: it’s right there, on the tip of your tongue, but your brain just won’t connect the dots. That exact thing happened while I was watching Netflix’s dark comedy Sirens.
The limited series, starring Milly Alcock, Meghann Fahy, Julianne Moore and Kevin Bacon, was created by Molly Smith Metzler and based on her 2011 play Elemeno Pea. The story follows the DeWitt sisters—Devon (Fahy) who gets concerned about her sister Simone’s (Alcock) weirdly intense relationship with her ultra-rich boss, Michaela (Moore). Cue an awkward and dramatic intervention.
Now, while watching, I kept getting distracted by one of the characters: Ethan Corbin III, the eccentric neighbor to Michaela. Played by Glenn Howerton, he had that face—you know, that face where you know you've seen him somewhere, but where?
