American Gladiators: Militia
American Gladiators is a real sport. The stars may be larger than life performers, but when the contestants cross their paths, there's no performance. If Militia says so, it must be true.
An American Gladiator: Militia
"You really never prepare because it's unpredictable, the people you're competing against, what they're going to do," he said. "Especially all these competitions, everybody's trying to get the $100,000 so they do anything they can to win so it was hard. It was tough and trying to get used to that and pass the first season was hard."
The injuries are real too. "I think that somewhere along the lines, everyone, I got injured too. My legs and in my arms, somewhere along the line, everybody got injured. This is like, everybody's giving everything they've got in the competition and you're going to get injured. That's what makes us different from everybody else. We are gladiators so we are injured and we are still competing. We're still up there giving the best that we've got and I think people are just going to look at how [Stealth] got injured and then she stands up and her feet keep going."
With a name like Militia, the producers obviously wanted him to play it up a little. In the heat of competition, there are more important things on Militia's mind. "Sometimes you have to save the acting to keep up with all the things you have to do. Whatever it is you're doing, the wall, sometimes you just have to concentrate and try to get to them. It's like no characters. The producers sometimes can tell you, 'Come on, keep up your characters.' If you're on the wall, you don't care. I'm trying to get to the person on this wall. We want to be the best. That's why we've been chosen."
Though they are against the contestants, Militia hopes to become a heroic figure for young viewers. "A lot of us, we have the same goal, to go up there and help those kids out there. There's not that much healthy life out there. All those kids, that needy kid up there and those people who don't have the chance, it's great. We're not just here to be a star, so we can use everything that we can become with American Gladiators to make a change in the world. That's why each one of us wants to do this and it's funny, we're all on the same page and it's great."
