2) Men of Honor Cast!
Not only does the George Tillman Jr. have two o the brightest cast, the supporting cast includes Oscar winner Charlize Theron (Monster). Before she became Furiosa in Mad Max: Fury Road and a butt-kicking spy in Atomic Blonde, Theron played the patient but vulnerable Gwen Sunday. Men of Honor is based on the true story of Master Chief Petty Officer Carl Brashear, the first African American master diver in the United States Navy.
1) Tom Selleck!
You loved Tom Selleck with John Hillerman the late in Magnum, P.I. He made a hilarious comeback in Friends. And now Selleck is keeping the Big Apple safe as New York Police Commissioner Frank Reagan.
WGN America will air its Veterans Day themed marathon this weekend, November 11th to November 12th.
