Biography
KURT
Played by Clancy Brown

Kurt Caldwell was born and raised in the town of Iron Lake. In fact, some consider him the unofficial mayor of their small town. He’s realized the American dream by going from driving big rigs, just like his father did, to now owning several trucks and the local truck stop. Powerful, generous, loved by everyone – he's a true man of the people. If he’s got your back, consider yourself blessed. But should you cross him, or hurt anyone that he cares for… God help you.
