MYSTERY WIRE — It’s times like we’re in now when sometimes a little humor from the military is what’s needed. The man put in charge of the United State Space Force just told the put in charge of Netflix’s Space Force to get a haircut.
During a webinar with the nonprofit Space Foundation on May 6, General Jay Raymond, the U.S. Space Force Chief of Space Operations said, jokingly, “The one piece of advice I’d give to Steve Carell is to get a haircut.” Gen. Raymond added, “He’s looking a little too shaggy if he wants to play the Space Force chief.”
The Netflix comedy show called Space Force is scheduled to premiere May 29. General Raymond also said he is looking forward to watching the show but was hoping the lead role would be given to Bruce Willis.
Netflix’s Space Force stars Steve Carell as Gen. Mark R. Naird, the fictional equivalent of Raymond, and also features John Malkovich, Ben Schwartz, Diana Silvers, Tawny Newsome, Lisa Kudrow, Jimmy O. Yang, Jane Lynch, Fred Willard and Noah Emmerich.
