Fall in line, maggots, and stand at attention as we talk with Hollywood's number one military advisor, Dale Dye . A hardcore film buff can rattle off a list of their favorite cinematographers, maybe even editors or production designers.  But when it comes to "military advisors" there is only one:  Dale Dye. He pretty much invented the role of current military advisor for films, and his list of credits is a mile long.  He's also wound up before the cameras, acting first in walk-ons and is a regular on the forthcoming  Falling Skies .  We spoke with the man about his career starting with  Platoon  (coming to Blu-ray for an anniversary edition this Tuesday,) the actors he's trained and what he's got coming up next.

Wise is also one of the biggest private collectors of  Star Wars  memorabilia ever.
