Chad Stuart (the other of the duo Chad and Jeremy) was the emperor in Crossbow but he had an eye surgery and a lot of pain so he wasn't able to continue.
While Tell is forced to shoot, Gessler promise Tell he and his son can both go free. Then Gessler witnessed Tell gets two arrows. He said I miss the first one the second is for you.'
To make sure he stay alive Gessler whispers in Tyroll's ear if Tell shoot the apple off, he has to disable Tell immediately.
While Tell tries to concentrate the best he can, Gessler plays false game, aint interrups him three times to ask him to take a step back.
