== Memorable Quotes ==
== Trivia ==
*He has spoken the opening dialogue for Trouble Comes Sideways.
*He may not be strictly heterosexual as he was willing to trade a blowjob for Kronole. However, he appears to keep this a secret, setting a lookout while having sex with Patterson. Layton later reveals that he is known to trade blowjobs for Kronole to the tailies though this is unknown to the rest of the train staff.
**His romantic relationship with LJ Folger shows that while he may not be strictly heterosexual, he is also not gay.
**His engagement ring to LJ cost him a pair of heavy socks.
*He is a former soccer player, his position being midfield. This acts as metaphor for his stance in the Snowpiercer pecking order as a brakeman, not high class but not low class either but rather in the middle.
*As revealed in The Show Must Go On, Oz is a talented pianist.
