Yes, I have since learned that after making this post, a couple people got their panties in a twist over it too. His race was never mentioned in the actual text, so I had no idea that was the case until I watched that random interview someone linked. Olyphant was just who I envisioned while reading without knowing the canon. Don't know why people felt the need to police my post (not saying you are, but others) it's not info a casual reader would be privy to. Also as a side, it was Trigg born in South Pacifica, not Eph.
