'Dwight in Shining Armour's Sloane Siegel fights medieval villains and hordes of enemies in this coming-of-age fantasy comedy

Bagging the lead in a fantasy/period comedy might seem huge for the 18-year-old actor, but what his character goes through in the series is even bigger!

While the whole world might be busy debating on whether 'The Office's Dwight Schrute is a loveable man or not, there's a new Dwight on screen, in the form of Sloane Siegel's character in the BYU TV series, 'Dwight in Shining Armour'. But while bagging the lead in a fantasy/period comedy might seem like a colossal achievement for the 18-year-old exceptionally talented actor, what his character goes through in the series is even bigger. And we are saying fighting medieval villains and hordes of big enemies!

Sort of like a live action version of the Netflix animated series 'Disenchantment', the reason Dwight's character in the BYU TV show stands apart from the rest of his teen counterparts on screen is the giant leap of faith the artsy teen takes as he decides to battle villains that aren't even his own enemies.
