In the service, especially the Marines or Army, you run into the most despicable people, sometimes. You meet people that, if you had a choice, you’d get as far away from them as fast as you can. The guy who shares your hole with you, the guy who becomes your battle buddy, far as you’re concerned, if he’s a serial killer or the worst human in the world? So long as he keeps you safe and kills the enemy, there’s NOTHING you wouldn’t do for him. There were guys I knew in the Army I wouldn’t have peed on them if they were on fire but, in combat, I’d have risked anything to keep them safe and, if they were wounded and needed me, I’d have cut my way through as many as they wanted to send to save him.

So much blood flows through your femoral arteries that even a small hole causes such massive blood loss that you frequently die.

You recently saw him as Dr. Hill in "Oppenheimer", the scientist that revealed Strauss as a snake in the Senate hearing that ultimately led to Strauss being denied the cabinet position he was up for. Malek is a wonderful character actor.
