DALE Dye offers a few choice words about the sort of men he's helped make it big in Hollywood.
"You have to understand one thing about actors," he said.
"Well, actually you don't. But it might be interesting. So listen up: actors are brought up to think that the sun rises and sets on their ass.
"That's all you need to know: they are self-centred sons of bitches - every one of them - and any actor who says he isn't is a straightforward liar."
Since Dye's roster of former clients includes Tom Hanks, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Daniel Day-Lewis, Charlie Sheen, Woody Harrelson, Steve Martin, Sir Anthony Hopkins, and a generation of the loftiest leading men in showbusiness, you could be forgiven for thinking that his comments, delivered at a Beverly Hills luxury hotel, might prevent him from being able to eat lunch in the town again.
Fake Giverchy HandbagsThat, however, would overlook the very special nature of the work that the silver-haired 65-year-old has spent the last three decades doing with the film industry's most cosseted stars.
For Dye, who is known to his famous employers as "Capt Dye", has built an extraordinary Hollywood career on his rare ability to bully, cajole, and shout at the normally cotton-wool-wrapped stars of blockbuster war movies.
Replica Jimmy ChooA highly-decorated former marine and Vietnam veteran, with the moustache to prove it, he has acted as "military advisor" to nearly 50 epic films, TV series, and video games - from Platoon and Born on the Fourth of July to Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, Medal of Honour, and Tropic Thunder.
Now he's in the spotlight for his work on The Pacific: Steven Spielberg's ambitious new mini-series about the US campaign against Japan during World War II, which had its red-carpet premiere on Thursday.
For years, Capt Activa Replica Watch Dye's role has been simple: he takes everyday actors who don't know one end of a rifle from another, educates them in military techniques, and then helps them understand the bizarre range of emotions that a real-life soldier goes through in battle.
He hopes they will go on to realistically portray the often- misrepresented and cliche-ridden world of modern warfare.
"An actor's life is all about 'How many lines do I have in this scene' and 'Is my hair good?' and all that nonsense," he said.
"That's antithetical to the way military people think. In combat, I think about you and you think about me, and we both think about the bigger picture: a mission, and that mission is more important than we are.
"So I try to bridge that gap, and teach the military way of thinking to kids who have grown up thinking absolutely the opposite." - THE INDEPENDENT
