or, the other side of the coin, as David Niven is alleged to have said to the men he was about to lead on a mission during WW2, "Look chaps, you only have to do this once, but I'll have to do it all over again in Hollywood with Errol Flynn" Niven always looked the part playing military officers- hardly surprising as he'd been just that (Lieutenant in the Highland Light Infantry) before becoming an actor, and then rejoined the army in WW2, serving in GHQ Liaison Regiment (or 'Phantom'- a special reconnaissance commando unit), and ending the war as a Lieutenant-Colonel. Niven came from very much a military background- his father, William Niven had been an officer in the Berkshire Yeomanry and was killed at Gallipolli in WW1, and his maternal grandfather, Captain William Degacher, died at Isandhlwana in the Zulu War

Laurence Olivier was in the USA at the outbreak of war, where he was initially involved in some propaganda work for the British government (there are some suggestions he may have been recruited as an agent by SOE), before returning to the UK with the intention of joining the RAF- he was already a qualified pilot with a couple of hundred hours civilian experience.
Instead, he followed his friend and fellow actor Ralph Richardson into the Navy as pilots with the Fleet Air Arm, however he never saw front-line service, quickly acquiring a reputation for extreme recklessness which allegedly saw him write off three aircraft in training crashes, and the FAA were only too keen to agree when the suggestion was made that he could better serve the war effort by making patriotic films... Richardson's career as a naval aviator fared little better- although like Olivier he'd qualified in civilian life, he quickly gained an equal reputation to his friend due to- as one colleague put it- 'the large number of planes which seemed to fall to pieces under his control', and was largely employed in desk jobs. In 1944, when the Navy were requested to release Richardson and Olivier to work full-time in re-establishing the Old Vic theatre company in London, the Admiralty agreed with what Olivier described as 'a speediness and lack of reluctance which was positively hurtful'

Olivier had a reputation for over enthusiasm,Even when acting,He was known to be a menace with a sword in His hands
