![]() ![]() They both were just prominent leaders, really involved, and thoroughly dedicated to the idea of what they wanted to present to the world. But Chris Pratt and Chris McKay, they really set the tone in how we were going to execute this film. It was nice to see that nothing had changed, besides the fact that he was a super megastar now, and killing aliens and superheroes all over the place, or supervillains. But I worked with Chris 12 years ago on a film called "Take Me Home Tonight." Meeting him even back then, he was just this kind of uplifting, joyous guy. He's very much the actor's actor he understood the beats that needed to be had by the other characters, as well as his own. ![]() The boss' rapport spreads down to everybody else, and Chris was definitely the type of guy who would show up to set ready to work, smile on his face, ready to attack his role, and ready for everybody else to attack their roles. I mean, films like this, even the smaller ones, it starts at the top. I can't help but think it influences you a lot when you're on a film like "The Tomorrow War," where he helps you up your game in a way. I think Chris Pratt has shown, especially in that press conference, that he's very passionate and enthusiastic. So, Dorian is just a collective idea of many people that I was able to meet over my lifetime here. You can't really embody that mentality, and embody that image, unless you truly understand what that definition means to these vets. If you've talked to vets who have experienced war or experienced seeing life being taken in front of them, their perception of the world is just slightly different. But, like you said, Dorian was a hardened character. So, I form these relationships, I have bonds, I have some friends on Instagram that every once in a while, we'll say what's up. If I have an opportunity to do that through my career, performing on camera, I'd like to be as genuine as possible. ![]() So, as much as I can, I try to give back to that community, or just let that community know that I appreciate what they've done for us. I did work with Wounded Warriors for a bit via the show, "Homes for Vets," where we built homes for vets. Once again, my mom and my father served as well, but it was using the research and the knowledge that I had over the many years after the show that I took into this character. ![]() So, it kind of started back then, talking to vets. No, I did a show called "Six," for The History Channel, in which we presented the lives of Navy SEALs. Drafting everybody from soldiers and everyday adults into service, Dan is eventually called upon to take part in a fight for the world's future, where the odds for survival are slim. Dan's life - and those of everybody around him - change in an instant, though, when soldiers from 30 years into the future appear in the present day via a time portal, where they inform society that in 2051, the world's population is being decimated by a war with aliens. "Guardians of the Galaxy" vet Chris Pratt stars in "The Tomorrow War" as Dan Forester, a military veteran, teacher, and family man dejected by his stalled career. Amid more TV roles in such notable series as "Cougar Town," "Chicago Fire," "Mayans M.C.," and "Six" in the ensuing years, Hodge dove back into more feature films with roles in " The Purge" and two of its sequels, as well as the "Transformers" spinoff "Bumblebee." And while Hodge has done his share of sci-fi in the past, the actor is no doubt making one of his biggest forays into the genre yet in the Amazon Prime Video's sci-fi opus "The Tomorrow War," which debuts on the streaming service July 2. ![]()
