I spent (literally) a few minutes looking into Shannon Kenneth Hearn.... he's a non-union extra, guys. (He's got 3 credits, and only one I can confirm to be a real, professional thing)

Aside from my feelings on the other factors here (Crockett being a US Congressman, or a beardless man with dark hair who this guy looks nothing like, or the coon skin cap) if they were truly introducing a new character, they would not use a non-union guy for it. (I don't think they can legally)

Five minutes of Google has led me to the conclusion that he's an extra who took a photo with our cast. :D
