Though born in Germany, Michael Fassbender was raised in Ireland and got many of his big breaks in London—like his role as Sgt. Burton “Pat” Christenson in Band of Brothers.Don’t remember seeing Fassbender in the series? We can’t blame you—still an apple-cheeked newbie (the series is only his second on-screen credit), Fassbender may be present in s...
While Tom Hardy doesn’t appear in as many episodes as Fassbender (his Pvt. John Janovec is a replacement who shows up in the final two entries in the series), he certainly shows off more than his compatriot. While Fassbender and Hardy are both known for their physical (and actually naked) roles in big films these days, it’s Hardy who leaps off the ...
That’s right: Both Magneto and Professor X appear in Band of Brothers. Unlike Michael Fassbender, however, James McAvoy didn’t get to stick around for seven episodes; he only shows up in one. The remarkable thing about Band of Brothersis that it manages to cover so many key events in the war while still sticking with just one company. Easy Company ...
Just two years after Office Space, Ron Livingston appeared as the wry, whisky-swilling Capt. Lewis Nixon in every single episode of Band of Brothers. Mainly assigned to intelligence-aimed operations, Nixon doesn’t ever see combat in the series—and that’s a good thing, because Livingston’s mix of humor (no other actor turns in as many amusing and on...
Like Ron Livingston, Damian Lewis is one of the main actors in Band of Brothers. Though he might be more famous for his role in Homeland, the actor does very solid, very moving work in Band of Brothers. As the eventual Maj. Richard D. Winters (Lewis’s character rises through the ranks throughout the series, and in a big way), the actor was tasked w...
Despite its title, Band of Brothersisn’t just about a whole company of men who loved each other like kin—there are more than a few bad apples in the bunch. None, however, compare to David Schwimmer’s Captain Sobel, a villain for the ages (and a strangely understandable one, at that). Smack in the middle of his work on Friends, Schwimmer took on the...
Well, we said Band of Brothers was outfitted with a metric ton of British actors, and who gets more British than funnyman Simon Pegg? As 1st Sgt. William Evans, Pegg appears in the first pair of episodes, mainly as Sobel’s near-silent right-hand man. He does get off one memorable line, though it only stands out because Pegg’s American accent is so ...
Another funnyman filled a small but recognizable role in the series: Jimmy Fallonliterally drives in and out of one sequence as 2nd Lt. George C. Rice. As the 101st prepares to enter the icy forests of Bastogne (where the Battle of the Bulge will eventually take place) in the miniseries’ fifth episode, “Crossroads,” it begins to slowly dawn on them...
Band of Brothers was produced by Tom Hanks, who also helped pen the episode “Currahee” and eventually directed “Crossroads,” so it’s not totally surprising that his son would show up in a role. Colin Hanks appears in just two episodes—tough ones, too—as 2nd Lt. Henry Jones, a recent West Point grad who joins Easy Company with an officer commission ...
Despite the remarkable listing of talent in Band of Brothers, only one of our entries seems impossible to find within the actual series—Dominic Cooper, who apparently appears as someone named “Allington” in the show’s first episode. That episode, “Currahee,” does serve as a flashback entry, one that depicts the training of the 101st back in America...
- Tom Hanks as a Red Devil. Tom Hanks is the co-creator and one of the executive producers of ‘Band of Brothers.’ He also co-wrote the first episode, titled ‘Currahee,’ and directed the fifth episode, titled ‘Crossroads,’ of the series.
- Jimmy Fallon as George Rice. It might seem unbelievable that Jimmy Fallon, one of the most celebrated talk show hosts of the present times, was a cast member of one of the greatest war series of all time.
- Tom Hardy as John Janovec. Tom Hardy is undoubtedly one of the most talented and dedicated actors of his generation. His performances in ‘Mad Max: Fury Road,’ ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ ‘The Revenant,’ etc.
- Andrew Scott as John “Cowboy” Hall. Andrew Scott appears in ‘Band of Brothers’ after previously featuring in Spielberg and Hank’s collaboration ‘Saving Private Ryan’ as an extra.
