When it came to taking on the role, Rooker tells TV Insider, \u201cIt was kind of a surprise.

So it would seem that death by animal is an ongoing theme in Rooker\u2019s recent filmography. As the actor points out, \u201cWhenever Gunn calls me, I\u2019m like, \u2018Yeah.\u2019 I love the man, so no matter what, I\u2019ll make it happen\u2026. Well, not really, no matter what,\u201d the actor amends, jokingly adding, \u201cThe money\u2019s still got to be good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As for the role of Red St. Wild, Rooker shares, \u201cI enjoyed my character and it was hot and humid down there [in Atlanta], and at certain points in the project, I got to disrobe a wee bit. Not completely, of course, but it was kind of fun to show off my gut.\u201d Meanwhile, when it came to finding the character\u2019s distinct look, Rooker reveals, \u201cIt was already etched out, sketched out. \u00a0They already knew what they wanted. Everything fit really well. I got to wear a wig [with] beads and feathers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Something Rooker would categorize as in between \u201cWillie Nelson and Mountain Man, or something like that.\u201d While Red St. Wild may be gone, we\u2019ll not soon forget Rooker\u2019s memorable turn in the role.
