SEAL Team's commitment to authenticity can be seen in the show's hiring of actual military veterans as cast members.

The Big Picture It's not often that TV shows about first responders or military officers actually cast folks with real-life experience in those roles. It makes sense though, as actors can best convey the emotions necessary to carry a story and develop a character. But what if an actor actually had those experiences themselves? Taylor Sheridan does this with his character Travis Wheatley on Yellowstone , proving that this is entirely possible.

"One thing that makes our show a little more interesting is the fact that it follows the family lives," Owen explained in a SEAL Team special feature, himself an executive producer on the show. "As many friends as I've lost in combat, I've lost a lot to suicide and dealing with things when they get home. It takes a lot to sacrifice so much, and that's really why I think this show does so well...

That other guy Semos mentions, Tyler Grey, is a former U.S. Army Delta Force operator and Army Ranger sniper who ended up finding his way to SEAL Team as well. Though not a former Navy SEAL, Grey has plenty of combat experience himself, and after being injured in the field, he was forced into a medical leave, leading him ultimately to Hollywood. "It completely changed who I thought I was," Grey told Los Angeles' CBS affiliate.
