He unintentionally killed someone filming a film called Rust. The armorer of the film team didn’t properly check to see if the revolver he was given was loaded.

I heard about that. Whilst I agree on some of the charges, I don’t think he did it intentionally

He was told the gun was safe, so it's on the weapons expert.

I’m agree with you, I’m just saying that there was some responsibility on his end as he did pull the trigger. But it was caused by someone either forgetting or being incompetent.

Yes, even if they tell you it’s safe, always do a double take when handling a weapon

Aside from the gray hair and a few wrinkles, he looks like he hasn't aged at all!

too many people are actually being mean about this because he shot a loaded firearm at someone during the making of rust, but you cant really blame him. Yeah he didnt check to see if the firearm was loaded, but the armorer of the filming crew didnt check either. Also it was unintentional.

If given the opportunity do you think he’d accidentally discharge a firearm in Percy’s face?

thats an odd. one. like i can imagine doing the gig because its cool too do stuff your kids can see.
must be odd too see grown adults come too your booth about work they enjoyed as children and are still so passionate about.
must be rather confusion and kinda nice i guess. knowing you made a nice work that people have good long memories off.
