According to foreign media cnet, the actual head of the US Space Force may not choose Steve Carell to play himself, and he offered a suggestion for the starring of the new version of the comedy on Netflix. Gen. Jay Raymond is the head of space operations at the U.S. Space Force, and his real-world role is equivalent to Carrell's Mark Neald, a leader in a fictional military division. On a conference call hosted by the Space Foundation on Wednesday, Raymond was asked what he thought of the show's trailer.
"One piece of advice I would give to Steve Carell is to go get a haircut," Raymond joked. "If he wants to play the head of the Space Force, his hair looks a little too disheveled."
It should be noted that Raymond himself has no hair. He went on to say that he wanted Bruce Willis to play him in the play. "But Steve Carell is a great actor and I love the show." Raymond said. "We're looking forward to watching."
"Space Force" will premiere on Netflix on May 29.
