He is one of my favorite stereotyped actors, and I felt he fit this role perfectly. Unlike my more favorite characters, which I anticipated seeing more, I based Boomer off Mr. Reno alone and the basic American stereotype for the French. I really didn't anticipate seeing him all that much, in fact I was even going to perminately kill him off to start cutting down on the character list. That was, until I got some upsetting E-mail concerning this character. Now out of sheer spite for the racist words I received, I'm keeping him, and he's becoming one of the more main characters.
Boomer likes to blow stuff up.
This is where I stray from the general French stereotype, into the typical American Stereotype. Boomer loves to blow stuff up more than anything in the world, with the exception of a fine French wine. He finds it difficult to get any wine at all in his current situation, so when he gets it, he might kill just about anyone for it. There's a real bit of Irony in Boomer, of all the characters, he is the most like James, and they mutually hate each other. Boomer is racist, or rather, he is counter-racist.
