During The War, More Than Half Of The Main Cast Served In The Military
For more than half of the principal cast members of The Dirty Dozen, their real-life experiences served as a source of inspiration throughout the filming of the series. Three of Telly Savalas’ co-stars, George Kennedy and Charles Bronson, served in the United States Army during World War II. During the film’s production, Ernest Borgnine served in the Navy, while Robert Ryan and Clint Walker were both in the Marine Corps at the time of their appearance.

Aldrich Forcibly Haircutted Everyone
When Aldrich ordered the cast members to have their existing hairstyles replaced for something more realistic, it was no laughing matter. The choice to give Marvin a crew cut was met with disapproval by his co-stars, who were less than pleased with the decision. The men were on their way to the barbershop when Aldrich issued a warning, stating that if they did not comply, they would be subjected to legal consequences.
