Character Name: Henry Gibson "Gibbs" O'Neil
Casting: Brad Pitt
Character Summary: Gibbs O'Neil is a naturalist/adventurer who travels all over the world exploring and documenting wilderness areas, either in the employ of government agencies or individuals, or on his own just for the hell of it. Although he considers himself a scientist, he is viewed with some measure of disdain by the scientific community at large for the unscholarly practice of publishing his findings in the form of bestselling adventure tales starring himself as the intrepid hero. He himself seems unconcerned by that disdain; but it remains unclear whether it is because he is too self-confident to be bothered by the opinions of others, or because he is too genially clueless to notice when he is being made fun of.
