Favre threw more than five passes in a game. Southern Mississippi assistant coach Mark McHale, scouting new football recruits for the school, watched Favre play during a Hancock North Central football game after receiving recommendation from many nearby coaches. McHale, observing Favre hand the ball off in running plays in the two games he watched, was set on leaving when he saw Favre throw the ball in such a captivating way that he described it by saying the ball "had smoke and flames coming off it." After high school, Southern Mississippi offered Favre a football scholarship at the urging of assistant coach McHale, the only one he received. Southern Miss wanted him to play defensive back. Favre began his freshman year as the seventh-string quarterback and took over the starting position in the second half of the third game of the year against Tulane on September 19, 1987.

Having retired from his job after the death of his wife, he is reluctant to resume his police work; however he is convinced back in Death in Paradise. Through the show he works to uncover complex murder plots against the backdrop of small-town New Zealand in the late 1990s.
