The stories about him at Canadian Press are truly the stuff of legends, even 60 years after the fact." Multilingual, musical "Boss built his own legend in Korea, where he was seen as the senior Canadian correspondent during the entire conflict. "Bill Boss is the last of the generation of Canadian Press correspondents from the Second World War who did a remarkable job of reporting from the battlefields of Europe and the Pacific," said Scott White, editor-in-chief of the Canadian Press in Toronto. He was among the elite of Second World War reporters, ranking alongside the likes of Ross Munro and Bill Stewart of the Canadian Press, Matthew Halton and Peter Stursberg of CBC, and Charles Lynch of Reuters. His career with the national news service was a relatively brief 14 years, but the legacy he left behind as one of the wire service's legendary war correspondents endured until he died. He wasn't only tough physically, he was tough in other ways.

"I got to know him in Korea, and he was the toughest reporter I encountered there. "The Bill Boss byline has always been a trusted and familiar one to Canadian newspaper readers," noted author Berton, who died three years ago, wrote in the Toronto Star in 1958.

He was 90.īorn May 3, 1917, in Kingston, Ont., Boss was the epitome of foreign correspondents, "a man with a mission," one of many articles about him said, who roved the world's hotspots in goatee, khakis, silk scarf and black beret. Gerard William Ramaut (Bill) Boss, known affectionately by his wire initials "bb" to generations of Canadian Press reporters and editors, died of pneumonia early Wednesday in an Ottawa hospital.

Bill mentions that if Dwight shaved off his mustache he would look like Martin, referencing the fact that both Dwight and Martin are played by the same actor.Pierre Berton called him one of the toughest war correspondents he ever knew, a trusted and familiar newsman who "ate censors for breakfast.".

However, Dwight isn't really that empathetic towards the inmates and the only reason he dislikes Bill for committing acts of violence and torture towards them is because it ends up costing a lot of money in medical treatment.

When Bill puts Daisy in his Human Prison Centipede, Dwight attempts to comfort her but is called away by Bill. Dwight confesses to Bill that he loves her, only to be mocked by Bill. He shows care towards Bill's abused secretary Daisy, and when she ends up in the prison hospital due to Bill leaving her at the mercy of rioting prisoners Dwight appears upset, especially when Bill prepares to rape her comatosed body. Dwight is also shown to be uneasy at Bill's methods, one of them being castrating a prisoner and eating the man's testicles.

Although Dwight suggests the Human Centipede idea to be used as punishment on the prisoners, he shows a lot more empathy than the highly sadistic Bill Boss.

Harvey's previous character Martin Lomax, Dwight Butler has a lot of dialogue. Bill then places the gun next to Dwight's body, to give the impression he committed suicide. Dwight is happy that his idea was a good one, but wasn't able to keep his victory for long as Bill shot him in the head, as he didn't want Dwight taking all the credit. However Governor Hughes changes his mind, feeling it was exactly what America needs. Bill plots to kill Dwight and himself, and even shoots the head doctor of the operation. Hughes shows disgust at the concept, and states that Bill and Dwight should receive the death penalty. When the operation is complete an a 500-person prison centipede is created, Governor Hughes is invited to see it.

They invite the Human Centipede films' writer and director Tom Six to pitch the idea, and he approves for the prison to use his idea as punishment. When Bill's methods don't work on the inmates, Dwight convinces him to consider his idea. He shows Bill the first two Human Centipede films, however Bill shows his dislike for it, opting for more old fashioned torture methods such as mass castration and hot water boarding. When the inmates become out of hand, to the point of disrespecting prisoners and even Bill Boss himself, Dwight comes up with the ideal punishment of putting them inside a Human Centipede (as inspired by the films of the same name) which he thinks will make people think twice about committing a crime in fear of becoming part of it. Dwight Butler is the accountant and ally of warden Bill Boss at the George H W Bush prison in Texas.
