'A good novelist does not create events, he watches them happen and then writes down what he sees.'
Although there are definitively tentacles back to the original Mercedes massacre, season 3 starts a new mystery story, with several new characters. Season three of Mr. Mercedes is based on Finders Keepers, the second novel in the Bill Hodges trilogy. Stephen King certainly drew on what he saw, and what he experienced, with this story based on the unpublished writings of a popular, and recently murdered writer.
The finder, and temporary keeper of the writer's works ends up being high school student Peter Saubers. Peter stumbles upon the unpublished writings while walking with his dog in the woods. Little does he know the problems finding those manuscripts is about to bring to he and his family. Peter is played by the multitalented actor Rarmian Newton.
Newton was born in Melbourne, Victoria where he began acting on stage at an early age. He was already a seasoned professional when at 14, he was cast as Billy in a Sydney production of Billy Elliott the Musical. His theatre credits included understudying the role of ‘young Peter Allen’ in The Boy From Oz, alongside Hugh Jackman, and playing the role of ‘Simon’ in The Jacaranda Tree, both in 2006.
In the US, viewers might know the handsome Newton from his roles on The Family, Rise and Tell Me A Story. This also wasn't the actors first role in a Stephen King project. Back in 2006, Newton starred as Bobby Fornay US TV Mini-Series Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King.
During his time on Mr. Mercedes, Newton was mostly seen wearing a winter jacket and a toques. He did however have a nude scene during his turn in the series Tell Me A Story. I didn't include the entire clip, but it starts off rather hot, but doesn't end that well for Newton's character...
