The Veteran is a 2006 American made-for-TV war film directed by Sidney J. Furie and starring Ally Sheedy, Bobby Hosea, Michael Ironside, Casper Van Dien, Colin Glazer, Sean Baek, Jim Codrington and Donald Burda.

When he arrives at his hotel room, he gets an unexpected visit from another veteran (played by Michael Ironside), who claims to be one of Ray's old comrades from Echo Company.

The character played by Michael Ironside is Doc Jordan, from the original film, Under Heavy Fire.

The scenes taken from that film and used in The Veteran as a background color for the story star Austin Farwell as the young Doc Jordan, who went missing in the battle of Hue in Under Heavy Fire.

Austin Farwell is not acknowledged in the credits of The Veteran although the central character is based upon his original portrayal of Doc Jordan.
