douglas Posted April 3, 2018 Share #1 Posted April 3, 2018 Ron Livingston, the actor who played the part of Lewis Nixon in the HBO series Band of Brothers, made an HBO authorized video series of the actors going through paratroop training in a mini sort of boot camp. Livingston carried a video recorder around with him during the boot camp and made 12 short episodes. I realize that this video series has been around for awhile, but I only found it recently. And, of course the boot camp only gave the actors a fractional taste of what the paratrooper training was really like. But, after watching the videos, it is obvious that this short period of training made a difference in the acting in the Band of Brothers. Do a YouTube search for: Ron Livingston's Band of Brothers Video Diary I enjoyed each of the 12 episodes, Douglas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandomatic Posted April 3, 2018 Share #2 Posted April 3, 2018 It's in the dvd set as well. Alwaysliked Livingston, ever since "swingers" and "office space". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krautpot Posted April 4, 2018 Share #3 Posted April 4, 2018 Awesome footage. The meeting with Nixon's widow put even a smile in my wifes face. Generally she is not so fond of military stuff and movies... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
