As Season 2 gets rolling, the Six star talks Navy SEAL–level fitness, going off the sauce, and the magic of Reiki.

FIT AS A SEAL

Going into Season 1, the production team put us through something called SEALFit to give us a taste of what these guys really go through. It was four days of sleep deprivation, surf torture, working out nonstop, and doing hikes carrying packs full of steel plates. It pushed us all to our limits, it created this bond among the cast, and each of us left a changed person. It really broke us down and rebuilt us to fit our roles.

REAL DEAL

The biggest worry was that we’d be met with some hostility because we’re shedding light on a subject [U.S. military counterterrorism unit SEAL Team Six] that is typically a very quiet one. These men and women give so much for their country, and they do it for no fame or money. That’s why it was so important to us and our SEAL consultant, Mitch Hall, to be authentic. I’m most proud of getting fantastic feedback and support from military personnel, because it means we’ve done something right.

TROOPS TIME

If it weren’t for the military we wouldn’t have a show, so I try to meet as many veterans as possible. I’ve been skydiving with the U.S. Army’s Golden Knights and teamed up with Tough Mudder to raise funds for Student Veterans of America. It helps vets apply their military experience to the educational system and become top students, because believe it or not, they are brilliant.
