Hollywood’s Hidden Heroes: You Won’t Believe Which Celebrities Served in the Military!
Ice-T – 25th Infantry Division, U.S. Infantry
Before he became a rap legend and a tough detective on “Law & Order: SVU,” Ice-T had an entirely different gig — as a soldier in the U.S. Army’s 25th Infantry Division. Think late 1970s, a young Tracy Marrow (that’s Mr. Ice-T to you!) is trading street hustles for the disciplined life of the military.
It sounds like a script from an action-packed retro flick, but it’s Ice-T’s real-life plot twist. His stint in the army was a game-changer, steering him away from potential trouble and towards a stellar career in music. Who would have thought? The man known for his hardcore rap and on-screen toughness once donned the army greens.
