Food for Thought

Drew Carey was USMCR
Montel Williams was a Lt in the USN and a Marine
Dennis Franz was in the 82nd durring Nam
Rob Riggle is still in a PAO with the USMC
Steven Segal could be with the Orleans Police Department
Charlton Heston would still be the Prez of the NRA -AKA dudes with more guns than the US Army

Canadian Army has a few Celeb characters, I have Arnold Schwarzenegger as Col in the Calforina State Guard. (WE FIGHT OR WE DIE)

I though about putting Chuck Norris is a few adventure, but since all is encounter would end with him round house kicking something to slove an issue I decided againist it, it would get boring. T-72 is coming towards you, Chuck counters with round house kick, tank destoryed....see what I mean

Sort of like meeting Charlie Sheen in City of Angels but he has gone over the bend and thinks he is his character from Platoon.

Or worse, Vin Diesel stuck as Riddick...
Could have all sorts of movie villains.

Don't reenact scenes from Platoon with Charlie Sheen

Tom Curise off the deep wandering around Utah tell people he is Jesus

I'm a Navy Seal and I popped up out of the water and saw Pamela Anderson running down the beach in Los Angeles chased by a pack of Mexican soldiers. I killed them all with my Kung fu and dagger and she has been eternally grateful ever since.

Hey, you know a couple we forgot about Dale Dye and R. Lee Ermey!

[Canadian Army]

I have used NBA basketball players David "Admiral" Robinson;served as in the US Naval Reserves as a a civil engineering officer and he was regularly featured in recruiting materials for the service and Shaquille O'Neal; enlisting US Army Military Police in 1996 and earning commission.

One of my recent additions is "John Burrows" (http://www.coverups.com/greatcoverups/elvis.htm)

A couple of side notes:

Montel Williams studied Mandarin Chinese and Russian, as well as working for the NSA and the Naval Security Fleet Support Division.

Richard Dean Anderson was made an honorary Air Force brigadier general on September 14, 2004.

Those two are probably cadre in a unit of Marines who retired to San Diego and other parts of California, like the "Grey Ghost Rangers" from the Grenada module.

"Chesty Puller's Own Rifles"

Love that idea - can just imagine getting pinned down in a Mexican ambush and then R. Lee Ermey pulls your fat out of the fire using some of the more interesting weapons he has in his collection

"KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN YOU DAMN DIPSTICK! THIS LEWIS GUN BUCKS AROUND LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS!"

"Hey, Sarge, you sound like this guy from this movie I saw back when I was a teenager, about guys in Vietn-"

<long stare> "WHAT. WHAT DO I LOOK LIKE SCUMBAG! EYES FORWARD, THAT'S WHERE THE COMMIES ARE!"

A few random thoughts:

Vladimir Putin is probably still in the KGB (IRL he resigned after the abortive coup in 1991). What an ideal nemesis... there is even an ideal picture here:

Bruce Willis is a service brat and is keen to support the US military - maybe he runs a charity for ex-servicemen

How many entertainers might get stranded in Europe/Korea/Iran/etc entertaining the troops

There was a character in the Caribbean module was was a TV star - the bosun from memory. He could easily be replaced by a real character.

I used a few (disguised) characters from Soldier Soldier as NPCs - the players have never forgiven me for having Dave Tucker (can't remember the name I changed it to) in their section - especially when his wife Donna turned up!

Imagine Richard Holmes, Paddy Ashdown or Peter de la Billiere commanding a local town militia in the UK...

Bear Grylls would still be serving in 21SAS...

'Bear Grylls would still be serving in 21SAS... "

Ok now that would be one heck of an NPC to meet

"You think you ran into some weirdos. Let me tell you about this SAS guy we met who ate a fish while it was still moving and showed us all how you can drink your own urine!"
