When you're in it, uh, when you're looking at a guy's beady-ass eyeballs, and it's you or him-
Dave GallagherGUEST
Ooh.
James GearingHOST
I've actually worked with, um, Captain Dale Dye when I was doing-
Dave GallagherGUEST
Yeah
James GearingHOST
... stunts years ago, and then he's been on the show a few times.
BrettGUEST
It's actually his father.
BrettGUEST
But they had Captain Dale Dye as a technical advisor.
BrettGUEST
And I don't know if people know Dale Dye.
BrettGUEST
You see him in a lot of movies, military movies, a lot of Oliver Stone movies from Platoon.
BrettGUEST
And I think he's in Heaven and Earth and Natural Born Killers.
LavyGUEST
Mm.
Jonny HenniganHOST
And they were trained by Captain Dale Dye, who appears, I think he appears as, as Colonel Sink or somebody like that in the series.
Jonny HenniganHOST
Who-- I mean, Dale Dye is seen as an absolute legend, as a consultant, as someone that used to be in the, in the military.
Jonny HenniganHOST
Um, but yeah, so I think that him, he felt like an outsider, Simon Pegg, and S-Schwimmer was potentially made to feel like it, so they kind of bonded around that time.
Jonny HenniganHOST
So he seems to have, have, have, have been able to navigate the idea of being a passionate sort of fan or geek with being, I don't know, seen as, as someone that's, uh, up here with some really big American stars along the way.
KevinHOST
But, you know, Oliver Stone goes to the Philippines.
KevinHOST
He takes his cast with him, and he basically puts them through like a mini boot camp with this guy named Dale Dye, who... is being on screen in the first Mission Impossible movie.
KevinHOST
But his big claim to fame is he's like a former Marine who trains soldiers, like actors to be soldiers, basically.
KevinHOST
So Saving Private Ryan, he puts people through the paces, you know, and he worked alongside Oliver Stone basically throughout the whole film.
BenHOST
documentary didn't we that that brotherhood and that bond creating that vulnerability so i just i mentioned floyd tolbert earlier i just wanted to once again call out the amazing work that matthew leach who plays him did during the covid lockdown with the live stream events where he brought actors from the show writers such as john olof directors and Even family members of the real Easy Company soldiers all together for a number of incredible events.
BenHOST
And I genuinely thank him and Leighton who worked with him on it from the bottom of my heart, because these events made you laugh, cry and even at some points cry out in surprise when Dale Dye suddenly appeared.
BenHOST
Or, you know, like I said, the families of the of the men of Easy Company.
BenHOST
And it was a bleak time during Covid.
Tim GrayGUEST
But if you haven't watched the Pacific, you'll get a good feel.
Tim GrayGUEST
They did an excellent job, Dale Dye and everybody else who trained those actors and the set design and everything, showing people what Peleliu was.
Tim GrayGUEST
And you're right, it was an absolute hell.
Tim GrayGUEST
115 degrees, the humidity was off the charts, and you've got water sometimes.
