#76 | Dale Dye | Veteran | Actor | Military Consultant
Dale joined The Protectors to talk about his military experience, bringing “reality” to Hollywood as a military consultant, writing, and his famous roles. Listen in..
From Dale’s Site: I didn’t set out to be an actor. My goal in coming to Hollywood was to change the way war movies were made, and so technical advising was my planned route to get that agenda moving. As I would take actors into the field, however, and train them to be believable military men and women on screen, directors started to notice that I was already doing what I was training them to do…so why not cut out the middle-man and just give one of the roles to me? I gave it a shot and found that I loved it.
About Dale’s company Warriors Inc.: Captain Dale A. Dye, USMC (Ret) came to Hollywood with a vision. He had a single mission in mind…to change how American civilians view the common grunt. Having been around infantrymen all his life and having been one himself, he knew that the majority are intelligent, creative, and full of heart…and the image of the dumb cannon-fodder blindly following orders not only was not true…but was a grave disservice to those brave servicemen who had risked and often gave their lives so that our nation could survive and prosper. So he looked for the best medium available to reach the hearts and minds of the public, and chose the film and television industry to spread his message.
