Fan Casting Private First Class Jean-Baptiste "JB" Rousseau in Whispers in the Trenches

Private First Class Jean-Baptiste “JB” Rousseau is the youngest in the unit, a French recruit eager to prove himself but unprepared for the horrors ahead. Bright-eyed and full of nervous energy, he masks his fear with forced bravado, clinging to duty and camaraderie. He still believes in heroism, in survival—but the trenches have no mercy. As men start vanishing and the whispers creep in, JB’s youthful optimism is the first to shatter. The war was already a nightmare, but now he realizes—this is something far worse.
