Actors that steal the special out of Special Forces...
Discussion
Anything with Steven Segal mentioning CIA, SEALS, SOG, KFC and Special Forces or whatever makes me laugh. However Lewis Collins oddly had the physique for special forces, most are squat, have a build for endurance and usually between 23 and 35.
Some of the actors in 13 Hours are believable but don't get Mark Wahlberg in Lone Survivor.
Eric Bana however is a very believable actor in action films, be it Black Hawk Down or Lone Survivor.

I doubt there was much difference at Jesse in the seals and wrestling, save for how ripped he got later on. He was always into weights and being a unit.
The SEAL guys I met in the eighties were generally wiry f
kers, the USMC was where the bulked out hoo-ra guys were. Maybe times have changed.andy_s said:

He lifted weights in college, but I mean, I don't know, he has a naturally big build. I've been a fan of Jesse for years; seal, biker, wrestler, mayor, actor, governor, non bleeder (due to time).kers, the USMC was where the bulked out hoo-ra guys were. Maybe times have changed.that reality TV show on UK channels - SAS thing.
It's like Big brother - I think that's really good to be honest.
1. the guys that are the DS are actually really ex special forces and clearly are what real SF look like. I.e. fairly normal and quite scary.
2. the guys that they put through the show, the people who get to the end, are rarely body builder types.
I was particularly impressed when Foxy to the Wales training run and smashed all of the much younger types - even though he is big, and quite a bit older.
I thought that was really impressive to beat the young fit whippets that didn't actually have to be an all rounder, they could just be fit.

One of my colleagues is ex-army and we were doing some work on an Army base. As we were driving out we passed a squad of blokes at the end of a training run and clearly knackered, some helping the worst of the stragglers. Not a lot of singing about eskimo pussy being mighty cold, I observed. My colleague laughed and said that these guys would still be running after their USMC counterparts had keeled over. He said stamina not strength was the important factor.

too many look 'soft' and unbelieveable. They need to have a 'real world hardness' about them, but most don't and it becomes a chore to watch. In the last series of strike back, the women looked harder than the male lead..
This is my point. I'm not taking about size and build, but the air or intensity needed to carry it off. Arnie, Stallone are all obviously caricatures; but Ryan Phillipe as a sniper - nope not buying it. Martin Sheen in "Apocalypse Now" seems plausible, Tom Berenger as Sgt Barnes in Platoon also, and I also liked Jon Bernthal's Punisher - although all 3 are basically mentally unhinged and I'm not implying that "real" SF are nutters.

Foxy is a beast, I follow him on Instagram. He's done some incredible thingsIt's like Big brother - I think that's really good to be honest.

I suppose it's worth mentioning that his Vietnam antics have been called into question and whether he was still about when his unit morphed from Underwater Demo specialists to bullet s
tting supermen. He wasn't punched by probably PDSD suffering Chris Kyle either.
It seems whilst the UK lot seem more coy and private, the US ones can be a bit gobs
tery.

Yeah, his arms are a lot smaller there, but it's clear he's huge next to everyone else. I'd probably say he's around 15 stone there. I know the Chris Kyle stuff is bullshttp://api.ning.com/files/zR-FkEEcSb-jVknn5PW5s7zC...

On the subject of the Predator franchise, Adrian Brody was horribly miscast in Predators. I could accept him as the sneaky assassin type, but not the gravel voiced badass.
But he’s faaaassstt I thought the same but recently watched it again and enjoyed it.
That guy from kong island playing sas not only was he miscast as a badass his character was pretty much not needed he didn’t do anything. He’s good in avengers though.
