THIS CONCLUDES OUR INTERVIEW WITH RICK WARDEN
This is one I wish I could've listened to live. Rick Warden bookended his Band work with two rather similar but different war films. He had done "Bravo-Two-Zero" (with Sean Bean) about an SAS unit behind the lines during the First Gulf War prior to Band, and a British medical officer in the BBC series, "Dunkirk" afterwards.
ReplyDeleteI would've loved to know if any of that prior experience in BTZ helped him at all prior, and how the "Band" experience/training informed his work in "Dunkirk"...if you ever get the chance to pose the question ;)
Cheers Ross, Jenna and Nightmare to bringing these to us! Great work!
"Kitty would love this"
ReplyDeleteI mean thank you very much Rick, for the great interview:)
I always pleased hearing about the brothers.
Good Job!
Thank you so so much for "the balance" of Rick Warden's interview! I've been coming back here & coming back here to check.. and now it's here finally!
ReplyDeleteLt. Harry Welsh is one of my favorite in B.O.B., so I'm tickled pink that I've heard all his interviews!
Again, thank you Ross Owen & Black Sky Radio for doing this! Great job! Please ask the question "how they got the part" because in the first few months, this question was not asked. And hope you'll get to interview Marc Warren (Pvt Blithe) and ask him why he was not in boot camp.
The guys you've interviewed so far are so hilarious and informative. They've given another perspective of the mini series B.O.B.!
