‘Russell Shaw’, aka Jensen Ackles, was surprisingly ‘killed off’ in Tracker Season 3 Episode 2. However, there was a twist to the entire fiasco, as things might not be as simple as they seem. And now, the showrunner, Elwood Reid, has reflected on this and revealed what this development could lead to.
Jensen Ackles’ character ‘Russell Shaw’s’ death in Tracker Season 3
Midway through Part 2 of the CBS drama’s two-part Season 3 premiere, ‘Colter’ and ‘Russell’ make a surprising decision and fake the latter’s death. A dramatic attempt is made to throw ‘The Process’ off their trail. However, after a brief but amusing moment, the showrunner, Elwood Reid, has now reacted to the moment that, according to him, ‘perfectly captured the brothers’ contrasting styles’. In a candid conversation, Elwood is quoted as saying:
“We shot a whole bit where they argued about how to fake the death. Russell’s the ‘I’ve done this before’ guy, while Colter’s trying to do everything by the book. It was funny, but we had to cut it for time. The ketchup shot said it all — and it’s perfectly on-brand for Russell.”
