'Act of Valor' star Roselyn Sanchez preferred working with Navy SEALs to Hollywood actors

An unprecedented action-adventure film,“Act of Valor” stars a group of active-duty U.S. Navy SEALs in a fictionalized portrayal of real anti-terrorism operations. But for star Roselyn Sanchez, who plays a CIA operative held captive, it wasn’t just the story line that piqued her interest – it was also a welcome change to star alongside real American servicemen as opposed to Hollywood actors.

“What surprised me was how unaffected and cool they were," Sanchez told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column of the SEALs. "Here they were doing a Hollywood movie and it wasn’t a big deal, they went along for the ride, they did their thing and they were incredible. I didn’t see any diva behavior. It was new for me to work with guys that even if they were waiting around for eight hours and didn’t have a trailer, they were content. It was refreshing.”

LOL!! Of COURSE it wasn't! These guys are highly trained professionals doing the business of protecting freedom and security for the greatest country on earth.
You think filming a little piddly-assed hollyweird movie is going to rattle them? Pffft.

Cracks me up.

Now that's funny, right there.

I'm sure they figured the eyeball liberty was worth the wait.
Give'em a coke and a chair to sit in, and it's gravy!

Roselny, sweetie, it’s just a movie. That’s all it is. You are paid good money to play pretend (that and show cleavage) - nothing more, nothing less. Just don’t complain in a few year about how few roles there are for ‘mature’ actresses.

Growing up in a household that ALWAYS respected, acknolwdged and appreiated the Military, it's hard for me to imagine that a person could reach adulthood BEFORE they recognize the character and courage of Military personnel.

“What surprised me was how unaffected and cool they were,” Sanchez

Miss Sanchez, I think guys who’ve faced death might be a little unimpressed with a Hollywood film. They’ve seen and done things that would keep you up at night. That being said, I can’t wait to see the movie. One of the few Hollywood movies I’ll go see.

If “they” are that far apart, is it still “cleavage”?

Cracks me up.

Mrs WBill watches some reality-TV fashion show. (don't ask me what it is, I've no clue.) She likes looking at the different fashions, how the clothes are made, and so on.

Anyhoo, the couple of times that I've seen it, the "designers" - or whatever they're called - constantly have meltdowns. High Drama Divas. "Too Much STRESS, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE" type stuff.

Sez me, they make clothes. That will most likely never be worn off of a runway. That's it.

What would they do in a job that had *real* stress in it? I'm not talking Life or Death type stuff, or Air Traffic controller level stress. Just an everyday job where you have 3 bosses all simultaneously demanding separate things from you....like most people who work for a living.

Makes me wonder how many drugs people like this need to take to function in everyday society. I'll grant that the shows I've seen are entirely populated by bitchy women and bitchier gay men - so it's not really representative of any "reality" as such. But still, how do people like that manage?
