Who Plays Oleg In The Snowman?

Nobody probably expected "The Snowman" to get a lot of attention when it came to Netflix, let alone make it into the upper echelons of the streamer's top ten charts. Despite its cast of gifted thespians like Michael Fassbender and promising up-and-comers like Michael Yates, the movie's success on the streaming service has been a baffling affair for some to comprehend, and while no one has a definitive answer to what's happening here, many have taken to social media to voice their reactions to the conundrum.

User @TheAlexSylvian posted on Twitter, "Only reasonable explanations for 'The Snowman' hitting it big on Netflix are A. Michael Fassbender is hot and B. People keep falling asleep in the middle of it because it's the most boring movie ever made." And @AndyHerren posted how peculiar the situation was along with a fascinating revelation, writing, "The Snowman (2017) is the #1 movie on Netflix right now, which is truly shocking. I will never forget seeing it in the theater, and legit thinking I like passed out or something because it made no sense by the end. Looked it up, and roughly 15% of the script was never filmed!!!!!" It's true — director Tomas Alfredson has confirmed that a rushed production ruined the movie and that not getting to shoot the rest of the script didn't help matters either.

While things didn't work out as planned for "The Snowman," one definite silver lining from this ordeal is that now Michael Yates and the rest of the people involved in the troubled flick can say they were part of a number one hit on one of the most popular streamers in the world.
