I was just really, really proud of that job and loved it." The finale of Generation Kill airs this Sunday at 9pm ET/PT on HBO.Beyond the 24/7 dining facilities and the seemingly abundant supplies of everything, there is one thing all French soldiers are jealous of when they look at the U.S. It still bothers me that we didn't come back for another season. We didn't really didn't get to say goodbye 'cause we all thought we that were coming back 'cause we were all so happy with the work we did. We worked like 16 hours, lots of overtime and we ended when the sun was coming up and then we had our wrap-party, eight hours later. He says, "It was the best show that I ever had - the entire crew was amazing, the cast was amazing, and great directors the producers were so on point. But there's always new videogames coming out and I got the new iPhone and there's an IGN application on the iPhone so I use that whenever I go to Blockbuster." Lush still misses working on The Black Donnellys, a 2007 mob drama that NBC pulled from the air after just six episodes. I still haven't beaten Gears of War or the first Rainbow Six: Vegas. I just recently rediscovered Fight Night 3, the boxing game. I rent a lot of games - I rented Civilization and that was dope and very, very addictive. I play with my brother it's pretty amazing. But I finally gave into temptation and I'm playing Call of Duty 4 online. ![]() ![]() He says, "I actually just hooked up my Xbox Live again - I was fighting against doing that because I already play enough videogames and if I played online I would never leave my house. it would be considered crazy and psycho, but over there it's considered honorable." Lush is a gamer himself an Xbox 360 player who gets his news and reviews from none other than IGN.com. If that same thing was happening in the U.S. "You're going into a situation where every day you're being shot at and your country wants you to shoot and kill. ![]() I 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. But he's like, 'No you never took it off.'"īilly Lush as Trombley in Generation Kill 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. 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.
