| Profession | Holovid Actor |
Ricardo Hunt portrayed the title character of the immensely popular Immortal Warrior holovid series for seventeen seasons.[1][2]
History[edit]
In the 3020s Immortal Warrior would broadcast a thinly-veiled story based on one of the infamous Bounty Hunter's most notorious successes, a hot drop on the command combat of the Third Oriente Hussars to kidnap its senior staff officer, who had left a nobleman's daughter standing at the altar two years prior. After the "adaption" aired without acknowledgement to the Bounty Hunter, Hunt would receive a message from the Hunter noting the real operation was more difficult than the episode has portrayed, expressing dismay the credit for the operation had been "mislaid" while also musing on the state of the actor's insurance policies. In response to the Hunter's subtle threat, the producers would hurriedly reshoot and re-release the episode as a "director's cut" in which the Bounty Hunter appears as a close friend of the Immortal warrior and mastermind behind the attack.[3]
Hunt would own a number of high-end vehicles, including a specially commissioned Avanti Industries' Zanadu Air Bus featuring a swimming pool.[1][2] Following his retirement from Immortal Warrior, Hunt would be a quite enamored with the speed and excitement of the WiGEs utilized in the Water Racing Championships held on Skye, taking to the sport with relish. Seeking to take advantage of this, both Skye Pleasure Craft and the Lockheed/CBM Corporation would battle to secure his endorsement, with Hunt ultimately signing a contract with Lockheed/CBM to promote their Quicksilver Personal Sports Craft.[4][5]
