Greg Plitt – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Gregory Plitt, Jr. (November 3, 1977 January 17, 2015) was an American fitness model and actor. He starred in the Bravo television series Work Out.[2]

Originally from Lutherville, Maryland, Plitt's mother was an interior designer and his father was a real estate agent.[2] Plitt was from a family of four, and had an older sister who attended the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis.[1] Plitt was a graduate of Gilman School, Class of 1996, in Baltimore Maryland, where he was on the football, wrestling and golf teams. He was also a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, Class of 2000,[2] and was both Airborne and Ranger qualified. He served as a Ranger for five years.[2]

He was a certified personal trainer and trained clients out of Los Angeles where he lived. He was a member of the official MET-Rx athlete and was awarded the MET-Rx athlete of the year award for 2012.[3] He was the author of the workout program MFT28 as featured by Bodybuilding.com and appeared on covers and/or in editorials for Maxim, AXL, American Health & Fitness, Flaunt, Men's Fitness, Muscle & Fitness, Men's Health, FitnessRx for Men, Instinct Magazine, and Men's Exercise, among others.

Plitt said that he had been a fitness buff since his dad bought a home gym when Plitt was in sixth grade; he was further inspired after seeing how his older sister changed after her first year in the United States Naval Academy.[4] Plitt once compared his work as a certified physical trainer to his work training military recruits:

"That transformation that you see when someone becomes a soldier," he says, "many of them come in with real bad attitudes. They're tough guys on the street and nobody's going to tell them what to do. Then one day, they'll come to you crying, saying, 'I need someone to talk to.' All of sudden they start changing their ways and they become the men they always wanted to be. Then other soldiers start looking up to them as role models. Then they're proud and they hold their heads high. That's more gratifying than anything I've done. That's what's so cool about it to be able to train somebody and transform them and bring out all of the great qualities that everyone possesses."[4]

Plitt was a global spokesperson/model for Thierry Mugler's Angel Men and ICE*Men men's fragrances. He had done TV commercials for Old Spice Body Wash, ESPN's Great Outdoor Games, Under Armour, MTV, Zoli Sinks, Gold's Gym Power Flex, Bowflex and had modeled for Under Armour, Old Navy Jeans, Calvin Klein, Modell's and Skimpies, among others. In his later career, he had several acting roles. Images of his body were used to create Dr. Manhattan's muscular physique in the 2009 film Watchmen.[5]

Plitt was hit and killed by Metrolink Antelope Valley Line train 268 in Burbank, California, on January 17, 2015, while running between the rails. His death was recorded by the camera mounted in the cab of the engine.[6][7]

Gamergate Bleeds Into Wikipedia

The Gamergate controversy, which centers on sexism and sexual violence in the video game industry, has made things hot for Wikipedia, whose arbitration committee has taken punitive action against some of the people involved in the debate.

The committee decided to impose a complete site-wide ban on one male editor, with the handle "Ryulong," Wikimedia Foundation spokesperson Juliet Barbara told TechNewsWorld.

It also endorsed nearly 150 warnings, sanctions or topic bans affecting other editors on both sides of the issue.

Only one of the 11 topic bans issued was applied to an editor who identifies as female, and all the sanctioned editors can appeal.

The foundation "doesn't set editorial policy for Wikipedia and is separate from the independent, volunteer English Wikipedia Arbitration Committee," Barbara said.

Even before the committee had made its final decision, the frenzy over Gamergate continued to roil in the blogosphere as well as the mainstream media.

A subset of the committee on Jan. 19 posted a proposed decision in the case.

That proposal "is worse than a crime," objected former Wikipedia editor Mark Bernstein, "it's a blunder that threatens to disgrace the Internet."

It suggested sanctions against the five editors initially targeted by Gamergate: Ryulong, NortyBySouthBaranof, Tarc, TheRedPenOfDoom, and TaraInDC -- and "every feminist active in the area is to be sanctioned," Bernstein continued.

Pulication of the proposed decision led to accusations on the Web that Wikipedia wanted to ban feminists from editing Gamergate, as well as claims that it had banned five feminist editors from Gamergate articles and that it tacitly endorsed Gamergate.
