There are moments throughout history in which impossible things, unimaginable things

have come to pass, because like-minded people decided to get together and make it so.

Welcome to the HBO official band of Brothers Podcast. I'm Roger Bennett and I'm related

to be part of this podcast series celebrating the 20th anniversary of Band of Brothers release.

Yes, it's incredible to believe that two decades have passed since that singular television

event created by Tom Hanks and Stephen Spielberg was unleashed on the world.

With its sweeping narratives and magnificent ensemble cast, chronicling a group of light-minded

people that Hanks himself just described. Easy Company. Second Battalion of the 506

parachute infantry regiment of the 101st Airborne Division. US Army.

This podcast will retrace Easy Company's journey, episode by episode, deepening your appreciation

with behind-the-scenes insight via conversations with its biggest stars. Like Ron Livingston,

who portrayed Captain Lewis Nixon, and told us about the way the cast deeply immersed

themselves into their roles for an actor bootcamp.

And gotta say, Rod, when I say we drank the Kool-Aid, we drank the Kool-Aid.

Tony Walberg, whose empathetic human portrayal of the soulful Second Lieutenant Karl would

licked and also led to a life-changing deep friendship with the man himself.

A relationship had been built and a fondness had developed in a respect was there. That

made me more proud than anything.

And series co-creator, Tom Hanks.

Can anybody see this for the first time? We'll be saying, all right, take away the closes

and not a celebration of nostalgia. This is an examination of the human condition. What

do you think? What would you do?
