Mr. Rogers wasn’t a sniper, but the Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood writers know where that myth started | Movie Maker

Fred Rogers, the host of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, has often been accused of being a sniper. The screenwriters of the recent movie, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, staring Tom Hanks, think they have found the source and origin of the rumors. One allegation claimed that Mr. Rogers always wore long sleeve sweaters to mask the tattoos regarding his kills on his arms. Tom Junod, however, says that he accidently saw him naked when they went swimming once and that Rogers did not have any tattoos. Navy SEALs and other military members have stated online that Fred Rogers was never in the military, let alone a Navy SEAL.
