‘The Unit’ gets real, meets with military

CBS to USO

Fiction meets reality this week as cast members from “The Unit” travel to the Persian Gulf to visit the heroes they play on the small-screen.

 

The cast of the CBS series, including stars Scott Foley and Dennis Haysbert, boarded a 5:30 a.m. plane this morning from Andrews Airforce Base as part of the USO/Armed Forces entertainment tour.

 

Playing members of a top-secret military unit clearly has made the cast feel connected to the cause — this will mark the cast’s second trip with the USO.

 

Also joining the cast for the six-day trip is NBA legend David Robinson and manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Tommy Lasorda.
