Black Hawk Down (2001)

Question: What is the name of the soldier that's sketching while in the barracks (and which one is he during the raid?)? I never could catch the name, and it's not in the subtitles.

Answer: Master Sgt. Tim 'Griz' Martin, played by Canadian actor Kim Coates. He's also the Delta taping his blood type to his boot. During the raid, he's thrown from a Humvee by a RPG. He loses both his legs and bleeds to Death. His name in the movie is Chris Wex.

Why is his name Wex, tho? He plays Griz Martin.

Likely (though I have no proof) that his family chose not to participate by allowing his name/likeness?

Black Hawk Down (2001)

Question: When the rangers are being deployed, Nelson puts something in his mouth saying the last rope he almost bit his tongue off.

Tony

Chosen answer: I'm assuming the question is, what was it? It was a mouth guard to keep him from biting his tongue when he hits the ground at the bottom of the rope.
