It's funny how the SEALS are just seeking the recognition now, it was all so covert and hush hush not so many years ago...
He is the same guy that apparently was the main character in the movie "Act of Valor"
Good to see my initial post livened up the forums a little yoday![]()
Depends what the media mission is - hand in hand. If it's hurting efforts of people who don't want to play with us then it is hush-hush. Quite vocal to help a campaign or our international charity image.
Indiana Joe, The part about the Randall knife saving the Seal from injury is a story that Chris Kyle told in his book.
You're either in your late teens or early twenties, fallow...or you've been oblivious to Hollywood...
"The Rescue" in 1988.....then you have Charlie Sheen playing a Navy SEAL in 1990 in "Navy SEALs"...Rob Lowe playing a Navy SEAL in 1992 in "The Finest Hour"...Steven Seagal playing one in "Under Siege" in 1992...
You're just noticing it now. It's been going on for decades.
But you missed my point of these recent films wanting absolute authenticity, and seeking a lot of actual, factual content and expertise. Navy Seals, Under Siege? The SEALs would have been embarrassed. At least ZD30, and Blachawk Down were authentic.
Harry Humphries (born November 17, 1940) is a highly-decorated former United States Navy SEAL who currently works as a consultant and actor on Hollywood films
Pfarrer was one of the SEAL Team leaders responsible for the apprehension of Abu Abbas and the hijackers of the cruise ship Achille Lauro. Pfarrer ended his service as Assault Element Commander at the United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU), formerly known as SEAL Team 6.

Navy SEALs, released in 1990, is actually based on events from Chuck Pfarrer's career with the Navy SEALs.

You've named 2 people from the last 20 years. There are countless that have books on the shelves, and "consulted" from the last 5-7 years. You can't deny there has been a recent and massive surge in spec op soldiers all wanting to tell their stories. That is still my point...
And I think you need to watch Navy SEALs and Under Siege again. I have them filed under comedy.
After leaving the military, Pfarrer embarked on a career as a Hollywood screenwriter. His film credits include writing, acting and production work in Navy SEALs, Darkman, and Hard Target. Pfarrer was the screenwriter on The Jackal. His spec screenplays for Virus and Red Planet were also made into movies. He is an uncredited writer on the films Arlington Road, Second Nature, Sudden Impact and Green Hornet.
