Dennis Franz – Infantry

Dennis Franz is best known for his role in the New York City Police television series, NYPD Blue. But before he became Detective Andy Sipowicz, Dennis Franz served in the Army’s 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions in Vietnam. He shared in an interview, “It was the loneliest, most depressing, frustrating time. It was life-altering. I came back a much different person than when I left, much more serious. I left my youth over there.”
