(played by Rory Culkin)
“Thibodeau’s a drummer living in Los Angeles and just comes across David and all of his charisma. (He was) just going to spend the night with him because the drive home was too long and sort of falls in love with the Davidians and is definitely interested in them because they are not the usual group.
I think what drew Thibodeau to David Koresh is that he is relatable. Priest at the church on Sunday is not relatable, I can’t relate to him, but this guy is like a Rockstar, preaching. It is very unusual and for some reason you open up to him and you don’t even know why. I think Thibodeau hung around, not only because Koresh had these answers that he wanted but he also wanted just the people. He developed relationships with the kids, he was 22 and got to feel like a man for the first time, I think.
I was really nervous to work with the real Thibodeau because there is always pressure on you for any sort of project, but to have the real man sitting across from you. He has been really, really helpful for everyone.”
