Dennis Franz – US Infantry
Dennis Franz is best known for his role in the New York City Police television series, NYPD Blue. But before he became Detective Andy Sipowicz, Franz served in the Army’s 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions in Vietnam.
He shared in an interview that, while in the army, he realized that he had never felt more lonely or sad, and wearing a military uniform stripped him of his youth. According to his words, Dennis does not seem like a big fan of the army. Dennis enjoyed a long and fruitful career in acting, which lasted from 1978 to 2005.
