Band of Brothers: The Actors go to Bootcamp Video

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,

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... ;-)
