I can't believe no one mentioned Keanu yet. His accents in Much Ado About Nothing and Dracula were atrocious. Actually, I can't even remember whether he was *trying* for a British accent.

Don't forget Dangerous Liasons!

Kevin Costner.

Prince of Theives.

Nuff said.

I was SO in Love with Lewis in BoB. Great character and great acting.

You know that episode in which Winters goes off to Paris alone on a leave, and there is this long wordless sequence where he wanders around the city, lonely and haunted by the vision of the young German soldier he had to kill, while looking marvellous in his uniform? And how the scene ends with Winters slipping into a bath? Oh, my.

Oy. At least his scenes were mercifully brief. I think Keanu probably recognized his limitations, since he thoughtfully stopped doing period films.

Branagh's Yank accent in Dead Again (one of my alltime faves) had that strange flatness that just screams "Shakesperian Brit Acting American!" to me.

"Captain Sobel! We salute the rank, not the man." I love that the man that Sobel tried to court martial ended up his superior.

Me too, though I still adore the film.

wonders idly if there's Winters/Nix slashfic out there.

I'm pretty sure I've seen Band of Brothers fic somewhere. Maybe on a ficathon or a Secret Santa exchange. Or a rare pairings rec list.

It's something new for me to hunt for.

I haven't finished watching the DVDS of BoB, but I saw it when it was on The history Channel. I could have sworn that there were voice overs when it was shown on the History Channel but there weren't on the dvd.

Did I just have audio hallucinations?

Hmm, it always sounded like Mandy Patinkin to me. Anyway, miles better than his Woody Allen impression in CELEBRITY.

You mean narration? I think the only one that had any was "Crossroads" (the one where Winters goes to Paris on leave), and it was in the form of Winters' report on the attack on the German battalion.

ETA: I've only seen BoB on History Channel (with they replaced all the "fucks" but left the "shits" in).

Well, there was the Winters voice-over near the end of the last episode, where he talks about what happened to the various survivors in the Easy Company over the backdrop of the men playing baseball in slo-mo. I remember it well because the scene made me weep like a little girl.

I love the comment about one of the men becoming "just" a handyman in his small town back home, but when he died, he had over 1600 people at his funeral. Now there's a tribute!
