Fan Casting Burt Gummer in Eda - Initial Stage

Burt Gummer is a survivalist and prepper in the Deep South. When his daughter Angela ran away after convincing Enos II of the Enos family to give her $500,000, Gummer became saddened and coped with the loss by believing that the Enos family betrayed and tortured Angela to death and fed the pieces of her corpse to crocodiles. As a result, he began a decade-long feud with the Enos family, who had also wanted to take away his forest property to clear the trees and build a resort. Gummer has been described by those who know of him as someone who has always been unpredictable. Nevertheless, he became even more angry and irate when his daughter ran away, even genuinely believing that she was murdered instead of her real story. Being paranoid of other people who are not his family, he is a survivalist and has fortified his property in different ways.
