If you listen carefully it sounds like he was possibly going to be Sgt.Slaughter before the rights fell through (especially when he says about deciding if the Joes are on the team or not).
That was painful to watch, and I don't even care for him as an actor. Did you see how his wranglers were trying to get him away from the interview in the background?
So... is he Gung-ho or whatever O'Connell's great grandson? It got too hurty to listen too all the way.
