“We don’t like to let other people down either. I think growing up in this industry, there’s another stress on you, and you’re like, ‘No, I’m going to do it. ‘ I’m going to get there. I’m not going to be the one to screw it up,” Pratt added. “So it’s the same vibe in life here. “

“It’s about teamwork,” said Romano, who also emphasized that “Special Forces” is not a festival showcase. “A lot of the things you do on this screen have to do with encouraging others so that everyone can have success. And yes, you lose other people along the way, and it’s definitely a little unhappy because it’s like your circle of family starts to die.
Romano said that “Special Forces” is not a festival show, but instead focused on “educating others so that everyone can be successful. ” (Pete Dadds/FOX ©2025 FOX MEDIA LLC)
