>combat corespondent in 'Nam>randomly turns up for the last 40 years as a senior CO in every TV show and movie vaguely relating to the Army/Marines
>>65567130>Hollywood prefers actors who have had experience with roles as opposed to those learning second handMany are saying this.
>>65567130>Dale DyeHe did a Sunday radio show on KFI for a couple of years>covered military topics>would have guest hosts when he was off doing movie shoots>just two hours>pretty formulaic>easy listen>would occasionally have interesting guests
>>65567130Is there anyone who could take the reigns as soon as he ages out of acting? I dont know of any military veteran character actors besides the wide dude who played Kylo Ren
>>65567701There's gonna be plenty after the war with China.
>>65567130There's a little more to that. He was a grunt before he became a combat correspondent, and wanted to get into consulting. It was only Oliver Stone pushing him into the acting role during Platoon. >>65567701I'd be more concerned with his role as a consultant. He brings a ton of authenticity to productions that will probably be lost with him.
>>65567701R Lee Er...oh wait ;_____;
>>65567130His main role was as a consultant brought in to help military stuff be more accurate and authentic-feeling, the acting stuff was generally secondary to that. My dad (art department) worked with him a few times, I know Outbreak was an example.
>>65567130He's done a really good job >>65567701Gary Sinese didn't serve but he's spent so much time around people who have that he probably could serve as a consultant on that kind of thing
