Just saw a picture of the real John Laroche...
And Chris Cooper looks nothing like him. Not that it has to but the real Laroche has teeth missing to the side of his bottom teeth. I wonder why they decided to change it to the front teeth.

shareBecause chris cooper has a bridge instead of front teeth? Yu can tell in the movie he has no front teeth.

John Laroche is a tall guy, skinny as a stick, pale-eyed, slouch-shouldered, and sharply handsome, in spite of the fact that he is missing all his front teeth.share

A calamitous frost in South Florida in 1989 killed off a lot of nursery stock, including some of Laroche's, and then, in 1991, a bad batch of fungicides killed orchids and other plants in greenhouses all around the country. Laroche had barely anything left. Three years earlier, a drunk driver had run into his car; the accident knocked out Laroche's front teeth, put his wife in a coma for several weeks, and killed his mother and uncle. (emphasis mine)
