Walt Disney
When war breaks out, everyone is supposed to leave their jobs and take up something war-related. Walt Disney was one heck of a lucky man. His creative skills were actually sought after by the propaganda unit of the U.S. Army. It was his job to put together instructional videos for soldiers, as well as to create propaganda cartoons.
Richard Pryor
There is no way you didn’t almost pee your pants from laughing during “See No Evil, Hear No Evil”. Before Richard Pryor made it onto the silver screen he was a soldier. His service wasn’t so simple, and at one point he even found himself in military prison after physically confronting another soldier after a racist remark was made.
