Drew Carey
Why are you so shocked to find Drew Carey on the list? Fine, we will admit that he does not look like what most people imagine a soldier to be. However, this does not make it any less true that the Whose Line Is It Anyway host served in the U.S. Marine Corps back in the ‘70s and ‘80s.
Sidney Poitier
Let us explain two neat facts about Sidney Poitier. First of all, he was the first African-American actor to bring home the Academy Award for Best Actor. Next, he was only 16 years old but lied about his age to the recruitment office to enlist during the Second World War. However, he later faked going inside to leave. Based on those things alone, you can just tell that he was a fascinating person.
