If you are a movie fan, you have undoubtedly seen his face. He has played many roles as a United States military officer, including appearances in SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, OUTBREAK, RULES OF ENGAGEMENT, THE GREAT RAID, UNDER SIEGE, and many others.
The man is retired Marine, Capt. Dale Dye. In addition to his service to our country and his acting career, Capt. Dye also has a great talk show on KFI in Los Angeles form 5-7pm on Sunday evening. It can be heard on the KFI website - www.kfi640.com. He provides great real world experience and insight about what is happening with the war on terror and the struggle by Israel to fight the terrorist groups that want to kill all the Jews.
HERE IS A COMPLETE FILMOGRAPHY OF CAPT. DALE DYE

Mini biography
Dale Dye was born Oct. 8, 1944, in Cape Girardeau, Mo. He graduated as a cadet officer from Missouri Military Academy but there was no money for college, so he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in January 1964. He served in Vietnam in 1965 and 1967 through 1970, surviving 31 major combat operations. He emerged from Southeast Asia with numerous decorations, including a Bronze Star for valor and three Purple Heart medals for wounds suffered in combat. He spent 13 years as an enlisted Marine, rising to the rank of master sergeant. He was chosen to attend officer candidate school and was appointed a warrant officer in 1976. He later converted his commission and was a captain when he was sent to Beirut with the multinational peacekeeping force in 1982-83. He served in a variety of assignments around the world and along the way managed to graduate with a BA degree in English from the University of Maryland. Dye worked for a year at Soldier of Fortune magazine after his retirement in 1984. He spent time in Central America, reporting and training troops in guerrilla warfare techniques in both El Salvador and Nicaragua before leaving the magazine in 1985 and heading for Hollywood. He is the founder and principal of Warriors, Inc., which provides technical advisory services to the entertainment industry worldwide. Services included performer training, research, planning, staging and on-set advisory for directors and other key production personnel.
I listened to Dale today. I believe Old Bill from Hugh Hewitt's show called in and Dale told had to set him straight.
And don't forget Dale taught Vincent Chase everything about surving in water for his role in AQUAMAN!!!
Where the levee's start.
