i think the hbo war casting in general but especially the band of brothers casting is insane because think about it. they're making a tv show about you and your buddies 60 years ago, and some random people you don't actually know are choosing a 20-30 year old hollywood or even british actor to play yourself at like 21 while you were at war, and sometimes they go off your appearance at the time, sometimes not so much. like its crazy cause there's some eerie similarities (notably, ron livingston's case), but also - do you guys think real don malarkey came into that set and scratched his head after realizing scott grimes was supposed to be him. do you think real ronald speirs cheered after seeing matthew settle's full head of luscious hair aware of the fact he was already balding during the war. i think about real dick winters being upset that damian lewis was redheaded skinny and british all the time

Band of Brothers Ages: IRL vs. Actors

Did you know that according to a 1947 study, almost half the men who served in WWII were still under age 26 by the end of the war?

What this is : A (very long) post comparing the ages of the actors in Band of Brothers vs. the IRL figures they are portraying.

Background: Did I need to do this? No. Did anyone ask for this? Also no. Did I do it anyway? Yes.

Disclaimers: This is SUPER approximate for the most part. I based IRL ages off of D-Day unless otherwise noted, and actor ages off of January 1, 2000, the year filming took place (the latter is where the most variation will be because I didn't try to figure out what month filming started). I also didn't fact-check birthdays beyond googling. Most are sourced from the Band of Brothers and Military Wikis on fandom.com, Wikipedia, and IMDb.

I broke them up into rough categories, which are, again, approximate. I know I often forget how young the real life people were here, and this was a good reminder of that. I also found it interesting to see which actors were actually younger than their roles!
