Jonny Barber as Schuyler Colfax, onetime vice president of the United States and namesake of the country's longest main street.
Colfax Avenue, America's longest main street, is named for Schuyler Colfax, one-time vice president of the United States. But Colfax's main supporter is musician/artist/creative guy Jonny Barber, who's established a Colfax Museum and organized a 150th-anniversary celebration for Colfax at the Owl Saloon on January 13, 2018.
