Stryker soldier abandoned acting career to take up the call - Fairbanks Daily News-Miner

FAIRBANKS — With a small role in the Academy Award winning film “L.A. Confidential,” and larger parts in TV shows such as “The X-Files and Nash Bridges,” Scott Eberlein had a promising acting career in the late ’90s.

Then 9/11 happened, and the next day Eberlein left it all behind to enlist in the Army.

“To pursue something as trivial as acting was something I had taken for granted all my life, I didn’t think twice about it,“ said Eberlein, now a captain stationed at Fort Wainwright with the Stryker brigade’s 1st battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment. “When I saw it could be taken away in a moment, that spoke volumes to me.”
