VILong before CBS cast Tyler Grey (@tyleragrey) as operator Trent Sawyer on the hit show SEAL Team (@sealteam_pplus), he was a real-life Army Ranger sniper turned operator assigned to the US Army’s most secretive counterterrorism special missions unit. He deployed multiple times to Iraq and Afghanistan, where he went after high-value targets and endured multiday reconnaissance missions in austere terrain.
His military career changed forever after Grey was seriously wounded in an explosion during a nighttime raid in Sadr City, Iraq. The injuries took him out of the fight and put him in a hospital for months. His post-injury transition wasn't easy, but it led him to be a prominent veterans’ advocate and started him on his new path: acting and producing in Hollywood. As someone who has been there and done that, Grey provides a lot of value on set, helping to keep everything realistic and authentic.
In our Season 4 opener, Tyler speaks candidly about the challenges he faced during his transition. From chasing adrenaline to confronting grief and the desire for the peace he found in chaos, self-imposed or not. He shares some great advice about creating awareness about what isn't working for you anymore, how Hollywood is getting it right in how they are telling our stories and other ways in which they're missing the target.
Great stuff, let's dive right in!
