He was also a graduate of the United States Military Academy, Class of 2000,[2] and was both Airborne and Ranger qualified.
Plitt compared his work as a physical trainer to his work training military recruits: That transformation that you see when someone becomes a soldier; many of them come in with real bad attitudes.... they start changing their ways and they become the men they always wanted to be.
He did TV commercials for Old Spice Body Wash, ESPN's Great Outdoor Games, Under Armour, MTV, Zoli Sinks, Gold's Gym Power Flex, Bowflex, and modeled for Under Armour, Old Navy Jeans, Calvin Klein, Modell's, and Skimpies, among others.
Images of his body were used to create Dr. Manhattan's muscular physique in the 2009 film Watchmen,[5] as well as the corpse of General Zod in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
