I have a question for Scott. Out of all the actors you worked with in BoB, who do you think you became closest to?
ReplyDeleteFor Damian Lewis - did your participation in this series give you a greater appreciation for military personnel in general, and the sacrifices they have made for their country?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have a few question for Shane:
ReplyDelete1. what was your favorite episode/scene to shoot and why?
2. were there any things that didn't make it into the final product (the finished miniseries and boxset) i.e deleted scenes or bloopers or actor commentary? is there a chance we might see that in the future?
3. what was your reaction when you got the news that you were going to be playing Eugene Roe?
For Richard Speight Jr.:
ReplyDelete1. What was the best and worst part of working on BoB?
2. Who do you think you became closest to in the cast and why?
3. Were there any funny moments during filming the video diaries that weren't shown, and would you be able to do your sock puppet Dale Dye impression for us?
For Richard Speight Jr.
ReplyDeleteWas Skip as funny in real life as you are in the series?
Dear Shane,
ReplyDelete1) Was it hard to switch from an English accent to Doc's American/cajun? You nailed it perfectly.
2) Did you have to learn about doctoring, so you could play the role?
3) Do you have any favorite stories you remember and could share with us, from when you were making BoB?
God bless. Lizzy.
Oh, and Dear Peter Youngblood Hills,
ReplyDelete1) Was the cast behind BoB, really like a band of brothers?
God bless. Lizzy.
For Scott Grimes, Shane Taylor, or all of them really:
ReplyDeleteWe only got to see certain parts of the Boot Camp training through the Video diaries, did you go through specific training for your specific roles, like Medic training for Roe, Mortar training for Malarkey, Sergeant training for Martin and Randleman and so on? If so, what was it like? Did you have specialized instruction from certain members of the Cadre? If not, did you learn just on the day of the shoot or was there some sort of script direction/manual/military advisor that could help you during certain scenes?
For Shane Taylor: How hard was it to learn the Cajun accent?
ReplyDeleteFor Dexter Fletcher and Matthew Leitch:
ReplyDeleteHow hard was it to learn the American accent?
For all of them: Did they watch The Pacific when it came out? What did they think if they did?
ReplyDeleteWas filming the Concentration camp scene as moving as it looked on screen?
two more for the awesome shane taylor.
ReplyDelete1. can you still do the accent? ("sizzuhs!")
2. so, the tragic love story between roe and renee was one of the best parts of episode 6. (you have to be made of stone not to cry when he pulls out her kerchief at the end.) were you satisfied with the way things played out between eugene and renee, or would you have liked to see it done differently?
A question for all of the guys being interviewed:
ReplyDeleteWhat were your favorite scenes to shoot?
Thanks for organizing all of these interviews Ross! It's great to hear about all of these actors and their experiences 10 years later!
ReplyDelete10 Year later and I'm still in love with the show!
