watched a little of it yesterday during its memorial day run on HBO. I forgot what a great series this was. There are a lot of young actors who have emerged into much bigger roles. I'm sure it's what got Abraham his part in The Walking Dead

I turned it on as well. It's incredible work. Feels fresh still 16 years later.

After seeing Damian Lewis in Billions, I went back to watch some of his scenes in BoB. It's great watching him get promoted over the David Schwimmer character.

And that scene in the last episode where he stops him and forces a salute from Sobel is just delightful.

Damian Lewis is even better in Homeland.

I still love him as Dick Winters though. He was a great choice for that part.

If you read the book, there are lots of pictures of these guys.
The actors look very much lime the real men. Winters and Nixon specifically look a lot like the actors.

I love that they had Damian Lewis recreate this picture of Dick Winters.

I was shocked to learn he is English. I was looking on youtube at Shakespearean soliloquies (yes, I know, nerd) and saw this:

I never considered him a great actor but thought he was performing a flawless British accent and that I should reconsider. I looked it up and I was incorrect. I was also incorrect in my assessment of his acting.

The Barstool podcast Zero Blog Thirty is discussing BoB over the next month. Today they discussed episodes 1 and 2. They will keep on with 2 episodes per week.
