Brian Reece

"You've got kind of a piercing stare" --Michael Bay.

Brian Reece is a United States Air Force Major instructing helicopter piloting at Kirtland Air Force Base. He also played Mustache Man in the Transformers movie.

Reece was originally the pilot of the MH-53 Pave Low helicopter #0367, one of the two helicopters used as Blackout's alternate mode.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-0" title="">[1]</a></sup> Director Michael Bay "discovered" him whilst in a conversation on set at Holloman Air Force Base, and both Bay and Steven Spielberg agreed that Reece looked exactly like what they had pictured for Mustache Man.

As a result, Reece had to change his wedding and honeymoon schedules so that he could film all of Mustache Man's scenes for the Transformers movie.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1" title="">[2]</a></sup>

He's a heck of a guy.
