"SEAL Team" is celebrated for its gritty, realistic portrayal of military life, but behind the adrenaline-pumping scenes is a world of intense dedication and effort. From grueling physical training to the challenges of filming across the globe, here’s an inside look at what it really takes to bring this high-stakes show to life.
The Pursuit of Authenticity
Creating a show that feels real requires more than just good writing and acting. As producer Ed Redlich explains, “The origin of this show comes from the lives that do the work.
” This drive for authenticity is what drew the cast to the project. David Boreanaz, who plays the lead role, was moved by the real-life heroism of Navy SEALs. He notes, “When I was told about the people involved, these guys do these heroic things. That was very impactful for me.”
Ensuring the show’s accuracy is no small feat. Tyler Gray, the show’s producer, actor, advisor, and a real-life Army veteran, is instrumental in this process. Gray’s extensive military experience ensures that each scene reflects the true nature of SEAL operations.
His final say on the authenticity of scenes is crucial, especially given the show’s reputation for action-packed realism.
