8/9/2023 0 Comments Generation kill charactersI think I'm a good person I don't think I'm evil, bad or anything, so I don't think Trombley was." Lush feels that Trombley's point of view makes sense because of where he is and what he's supposed to be doing. I could just relate a lot with Trombley, in general. I saw him as raised on videogames, and when we were doing the boot camp stuff I was like 'Man, this is just like videogames.' It was just like Grand Theft Auto - and Trombley's quoted as saying that in the book. Trombley could be seen by some as a rather disturbed individual, but Lush says he "saw a lot of humanity in him and everyone I talk to is like 'Man, you're scary.' But I didn't really see him like that. But he's like, 'No you never took it off.'" Billy Lush as Trombley in Generation Kill People were getting lazy or something, he was always like 'helmets on.' There was this problem because everyone wanted to take their helmets off so they could see their faces. If someone had to get down on their gun more, he's like this is a high level of danger so you're just down on your gun. He was so on point and just so aware of the entire picture. Lush says, "It gave it a good bit of authenticity it was always good to have them on set, especially Eric Kocher. Lush said having Kocher on set, along with fellow First Recon Marines Jeffrey Carisalez and Rudy Reyes, was very helpful. He's a decorated and experienced soldier, serving four tours in Iraq and one tour in Afghanistan, and earning two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star with "V" for Valor. It was like cops and robbers times a million." Generation Kill's key military advisor, Marine Staff Sergeant Eric Kocher, was a member of First Reconnaissance Battalion and was featured in the original Rolling Stone article and book by Evan Wright. It was so surreal we were shooting with blanks. And then the last day we did this siege where we went up into the mountains of Namibia and had this faux attack on an Arab town. The first week was personal training and knowledge of weapons a crash course on the Marines' boot camp. "Our military advisor, Eric Kocher, was actually featured in the story and he put us through a two-week boot camp. Lush described the intense preparations all the actors went through to get ready to realistically portray Marines. We recently talked to Lush about filming Generation Kill, playing Xbox 360 in his time off, and his experience on The Black Donnellys.
