Band of Brothers had great actors to.

Country: | Saving Privat Ryan did have some great actors. in it. I like the guy (cant remember who played him) who played the First Seargent. I think he did a good job portraying how a First Seargent acts in a real unit.

Country: | I also thought Gary Cole did a wonderful job as George Armstrong Custer and David Strathairn was very good as Capt. William F. Benteen in Son of the Morning Star (the Indian Wars count too, don't they)

Country: | I became a fan of Ralph Fiennes after seeing his performance in Schindler's List.
Son of the Morning Star was broadcast on television on February 3, 1991. It's a really good film, in my opinion. It's shows a little about the life of Custer before the battle of the Little Big Horn and it also shows something about the life of the plains indians before the battle. It's kind of like Tora! Tora! Tora! in that it tries to give a view of each side that takes part in the battle prior to that time with the climax the actual battle. Tora! being Pearl Harbor and Son being the Little Big Horn. I was able to find Son of the Morning Star on videotape several years ago and watch it each year on the anniversary of Little Big Horn. It would be nice if they would release it on DVD but I doubt if demand is real big for it, but it is a fine piece of work.
On an odd note, I watched Crimson Tide (a favorite of mine) a few nights ago and I see Lillo Brancato, who played petty officer Russell Vossler was arrested for killing a New York City police officer.
