Never have dick drawings created a more compelling mystery than they do in Netflix’s American Vandal. In the ultimate example of a high school prank gone wrong, American Vandal chronicles a student who is expelled after the administration discovers 27 dicks drawn in the faculty parking lot. There’s just one problem — the accused vandal Dylan (Jimmy Tatro) claims that he’s innocent. The rest of the eight-part series peels back the layers of he-said, she-said in an attempt to figure out #WhoDrewTheDicks. It’s as silly and weirdly addicting as you would expect.
There are lots of pieces of evidence pointing to Dylan’s innocence, from the parking lot penises’ lack of ball hairs to the incriminating splatter marks. However, the most shocking piece of evidence has to do with Sarah Pearson, Hanover High School’s resident popular girl. How does Sarah Pearson connect to Dylan’s innocence? And more importantly how do you know the actress behind her, Saxon Sharbino? Here’s everything you need to know about the handjob that changed American Vandal.
How does Sarah Pearson prove that Dylan is innocent?
Sarah’s (Saxon Sharbino) connection to the dicks has less to do with Dylan and more to do with the man who accused Dylan of drawing them. According to Alex Trimboli (Calum Worthy), he saw Dylan spray painting the dicks after school. However, Peter (Tyler Alvarez) and Sam (Griffin Gluck) are skeptical of Alex’s accusation since they suspect him of being a chronic liar. Alex constantly over-exaggerates how much he drinks and makes up other dumb lies to make himself look cooler than he his. One of those seeming lies has to do with Sarah Pearson. According to Alex, Sarah gave him a handjob during summer camp — an accusation that completely shocks Peter and Sam.
Peter, Sam, and Gabi (Camille Hyde) spend a substantial amount of time figuring out whether or not they can prove this handjob took place. Ultimately they determine Alex was lying, which makes him a far less credible witness while breaking down the school board’s case against Dylan. However, in their pursuit of proving that Alex lied, Peter includes many of Sarah’s dirty secrets in his viral web series. This obviously infuriates Sarah, and she chews him out at the graduation party.
Also, Mr. Kratz (Ryan O’Flanagan) thinks that Sarah is distractingly hot. That’s not really relevant, but it was a really uncomfortable moment that proves why Kratz should have never been a teacher ever.
How do I know Saxon Sharbino?
You probably first saw Sharbino in Fox’s Touch, where she starred as a series regular opposite of Kiefer Sutherland. She’s also starred in the movie Trust Me, the 2015 remake of Poltergeist as Kendra Bowen, Friday Night Lights, and Netflix’s Love. On Love she plays Simone, one of the stars of the fictional show Wichita. However, Sharbino’s horror experience hasn’t just extended to the Poltergeist franchise and delightful, fake teen soaps. She’s also starred in the Lifetime movie Stalker’s Prey and the thriller Bedeviled.
Where will I see Saxon Sharbino next?
If you need to see more of this actress in your life fast, you’re in luck. Sharbino will be starring in NBC’s Law & Order SVU and Fox’s Lucifer in the coming weeks.
