The Woodsman (Little Red Riding Hood)

The Woodsman, also known as The Huntsman, is the tritagonist of Little Red Riding Hood. He is known to save Little Red Riding Hood from The Wolf in some versions of the story.
==Versions==
* In The Brothers Grimm Version the little girl and her grandmother are saved by a huntsman who was after the wolf's skin; this ending is identical to that in the tale The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids, which appears to be the source.
* In The Red Fairy Book (1890). He derived it from the works of Charles Marelles, in Contes of Charles Marelles. This version explicitly states that the story had been mistold earlier. The girl is saved, but not by the huntsman; when the wolf tries to eat her, its mouth is burned by the golden hood she wears, which is enchanted.
* In Hoodwinked The Woodsman (whose real name is revealed to be Kirk Kirkendall) used to be an actor for commercials for Paul's Bunion Cream. However, one day, Kirk did a mistake in which he said, "Aargh!", and the director, Jimmy Lizard, asked Kirk if he's some kind of "German pirate" (because he said, "Aargh"). Jimmy then asks Kirk what makes him proud, strong, and mighty and Kirk answers that his dream is to travel the world with the Happy Yodellers. He then proceeded to sing, but he accidentally threw his axe and Jimmy called in for the next person and Kirk left, heartbroken and discouraged.
* In Red Ridding Hood 2011 The Woodsman is named Peter and Valerie's love interest. Valerie believes him to be the Wolf until it is discovered that her father Cesaire is actually the wolf. Later Cesaire bites Peter and he becomes the Wolf.
* In Into The Woods the Baker is based off of the Woodsman and the man who gives Jack the magic beans.
