Random bit of amusing trivia (NCIS: LA)
Nov. 26th, 2012 10:52 pmI was reading People magazine (Nov. 26, 2012, the Sexiest Man Alive issue), and listed among the "red hot stars of 2012" was Eric Christian Olsen, who plays Deeks on NCIS: Los Angeles. He was talking about how he stays in shape: "My brother, who's also my stunt double and an ex-Navy SEAL, designed a workout for us." (It's on p.118 of the magazine if you want to check out it, although it's just a short paragraph and a photo rather than a full article.)
I just found it amusing since one of the characters on the show is an ex-SEAL (Sam Hanna, played by LL Cool J). And also because I recently finished reading the Troubleshooters series of novels by Suzanne Brockmann, in which many of the characters are Navy SEALs or ex-Navy SEALs. Some of the former SEALs have formed a private security company called Troubleshooters, Inc. (hence the title of series) that often takes on contracted jobs for the military. Anyway, I was just LOLing at the idea of one of the Troubleshooters guys being offered a job as a stuntman--which is not out of the realm of possibility, since one of the supporting characters is a famous actor.
I've reviewed the Troubleshooters series here, here, and here, and I've also requested the fandom for Yuletide. Which reminds me that I've been meaning to create a Troubleshooters tag, so I'll add that now!
