Ep. 108: (Part 5) Starring in Black Hawk Down Changed My Life - Matthew Marsden

<p>In the finale of our 5-part <em>Black Hawk Down</em> series to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Operation Gothic Serpent, I sat down with Actor and Musician Matthew Marsden. You may recognize him from films like <em>Helen of Troy</em> or <em>Shiner</em>, but when he played Army Ranger Dale Sizemore in the film <em>Black Hawk Down</em>, it was the role of a lifetime.</p><p>That experience changed the trajectory of his life and bonded him forever with US Army Rangers. I was skeptical at first about the story being turned into a movie (find out why in this episode), but I’m really proud of the work Matthew and the other actors did and how they portrayed us.</p><p>What you’ll hear:</p><ul><li><p>How he beat the odds to build a successful Hollywood career, coming from a small community in the UK</p></li><li><p>What it was like training with Army Rangers to prepare for <em>Black Hawk Down</em> and how it transformed his life</p></li><li><p>Why he believes the USA is the greatest country in the world</p></li><li><p>How he became a committed Christian and what drives him to speak up boldly about it in a hostile Hollywood environment</p></li><li><p>What he has in common with Jim Caviezel and Gary Sinise</p></li></ul><p>Leave a review of this podcast on your favorite platform; it helps us get these stories out to more people who need to hear them!</p><p>To give specific feedback directly to us on what you like about the podcast and what you don’t,<a href="https://quaxel1.net/v1/t/c/2b3ed2cf-300e-79b2-9703-2f1d8f0f797f/gm:b39a0549-8a2e-4a35-952a-671a2999877b/Multiple%252520Recipients/?https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1WfrG5Lcg7oMvFmza5tGiDGe0S9bShJqwkAX97vahcjw/edit="> fill out this 5-minute survey</a>.</p><p>Don’t let fear win.<a href="https://jeffstruecker.com/survival-guide/"> Get your FREE copy of the <em>Unbeatable Army Survival Guide</em> HERE.</a></p>
