6. Rob Riggle - not really familiar with this actor but happened to watch him in an episode of this just an hour ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKm5L5X81CY 23 years in the Marines, came out a Colonel, but had a paralyzing fear of jumping out of a plane and Bear manipulated him into overcoming it. Cool episode!
