Fan Casting Abraham Van Brunt in Sleepy Hollow

Abraham Van Brunt, called Brom Bones, a strong and broad-shouldered man who is the hero of the countryside. He is famed for his horsemanship, his physical strength, and his love of tricks and merriment. He is always ready for a fight or a frolic. He is the leader of a small band of young men who look up to him as their model and with whom he rides throughout the countryside playing pranks and getting into brawls. He is also a suitor for the hand of Katrina and is jealous when she pays too much attention to Ichabod. His knowledge of Ichabod’s gullibility enables him to play the part of the Headless Horseman and frighten the greedy pedagogue away.
