Perfecting The Character Of Lt. Dan
Surely, nowadays when someone has good health insurance coverage, they need not worry about seeking the lifesaving help they need. However, things were a little different. Poor Lieutenant Dan found himself stuck in a life he did not choose. Audience members empathize with him at that vulnerable and crippled state. Perfecting his injuries on screen took some work with their cinematic technology. As Gary Sinise, who played Dan, rested in a wheelchair, they laid a blue fabric over the lower half of his legs. Thus, the digital team created the legless illusion.
