Col. Gregory D. Gadson stole the show in "Battleship". Gadson played Lieutenant Colonel Mick Canales a double amputee in physical therapy when the film opens. We meet him because he is a plot device for the love interest in the film showing that she is a three dimensional character rather than just a pretty face. However, he is necessary for her part in the battle to be plausible. His acting was strong, powerful, riveting, and left me wanting more. I researched Gadson on IMDB.com to find he is an active duty military officer and 'wounded warrior'. He was featured in the documentary "Wounded Warriors' Resilience" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2097945/. I'm sure he is busy with his military duties but it would be great to see him in more films.
