\nOctober 20-24, 2011\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\nEric Stoltz starred in and produced “Fort McCoy”. He plays Frank Stirn who arrives at the camp as the new barber since he is unable to enlist due to a heart murmur. Brendan explained to Media Blvd<\/a>. “His “action” is limited to being a barber for the brave men going off to fight and it’s his story of working through this insecurity and finding his place in life, war, and his own family.”<\/i><\/p>\n
Brendan Fehr plays Sgt. Dominic Rossi who has already done a tour in Tunisia and is now working as military police on the base. “I am a guide of sorts, liaison even, to this family taking up residence on the base where this story all takes place.”<\/i><\/p>\n
