Meet the actor: David Meunier


Background:
One of the New Bern men Jake and Heather meet in Black Jack, ep 1.13, Black Jack.

What We Know:
He doesn't always obey the rules - was the only one with a gun at Black Jack when the sign said all guns were to be checked at the gate. He did save Jake and Johnston from the Black Jack guards. Then drove his truck through an out building so they could all escape the fairgrounds.

Comes to town again in ep 1.16 Winter's End to help broker a deal of wind turbines for salt/food. He seems reluctant to participate. Perhaps he already had knowledge of the impending New Bern attack.

Has a family in New Bern, including a daughter.

Tries to prevent the New Bern attack by talking to Gray Anderson about giving New Bern a share of the salt mine. He seems to be of strong moral character and genuinely seems regretful at what his hometown is about to do.

Russel is an outgoing New Berner who doesn't always follow the rules. Although he cares about New Bern and appears anxious about his family in 1.20. "Casaus Beli", Russel also dislikes the idea of Constantino's plan to take over Jericho. After several heated inquiries Russel reluctantly tells Jake he should be worried about Eric--Russel wants to make peace between the two towns but he only gives Jericho info carefully, reluctantly, and not in much detail. I guess he doesn't want to be caught and locked up by Constantino. He's not as dependable as he could be, but overall Russel is a friend and a help to Jericho.

What We Don't Know:
How much knowledge did he have of New Bern's plans? Is he a good guy or bad?
Is he active in the assault on Jericho?
Why did her risk his life to save Dale, Jake and Johnston at Black Jack?

Family and Relationships:
Daughter in New Bern
Friend: Ted Lewis
