What a disappointment. I was expecting him to get all The Revenant on me, or something.

Interestingly, this all took place at a campground abutting F.C.I. McKean, the medium security facility where actor Wesley Snipes did his two years for tax evasion. Former MLB player Denny McLean was also a guest there at one point. IIRC, he got into some sort of financial trouble and committed mail and/or wire fraud.
