Band of Brothers, Simon Pegg Options

[waitingforsimon]

Ok I saw on IMDB that Simon Pegg was in Band of Brothers, my Dad has the box set, but I dont want to watch all 300 hours so does anyone know which episodes he is in? Bxxx

[billypig]

I don't want to say anything much except you should watch the whole 300 hours. It's a damn fine series. And yes he is in it but in no way is it a big part which should give it away a bit where he is.

I'm with what Billypig says, you should watch the whole thing, an amazing series.

Although, if you're just looking for Pegg, then I think he's in the second episode.

Ah hmmm is this a cunning plan to get me to watch from the begining and get me hooked I wonder....I will watch it I htink though cos it has Simon, Tom Hanks who I love, and Donnie Wahlberg from NKOTB who was my first band I was into so for a stroll down memory lane....but really its cos I like uniforms and I really like Simon put them together and Im a very happy lady! Cheers Bxxx

does it have Tom Hanks in it ? Are you thinking of Saving Private Ryan ?

[billypig]

Hmm yes, Hanks is just a director and executive producer. He's not in it.

I think Simon's in the first two episodes and very very briefly in the third. I think.

Simon's in the first one and briefly in the second. He's not a huge character mind.

I remember seeing Simon Pegg being interviewed on Channel 4 before I discovered Spaced and wondering why they were interviewing some minor character from Band of Brothers!
Still, it's amazing now - Pegg's in my favourite sitcom ever, my favourite drama ever and one of my favourite films ever.

And I agree with what has been said before - watch Band of Brothers, it's amazing.

(Oh, by the way - hello, this is my 1st post. )

I thought it was Speilberg, see I think I'm now getting confused, I'll have to wander off to imdb

And you'll see I'm partially right! However Hanks did have a walk on cameo as a British Officer as well. Heh.

And MikeP's right, 1st and little bit of 2nd part. I got the timing slightly confused about the split training in the first one.

Thanks everyone, Im planning on watching mr Pegg in uniform this afternoon, yummy! Ooh I love a man in uniform if it were up to me there would be some sort of law about men having to wear a uniform! If he is in the first 2 eps I probably will get hooked and end up watching it all knowing me! Cheers Bxxxx

[waitingforsimon]

I watched the first ep last night, and i have to say Simon Pegg in uniform yummy!!!! I think we should pass a law that he has to wear a sexy uniform at all times! In a uniform he makes me want to use and abuse him! Bxxx

[cky2k]

Yeah he's in the first episode and briefly in the second on the drop, and i think you see he's died at the end of the third.

[waitingforsimon]

Ah I thought he would die cos he isnt in Friends or used to be in an American boyband...nice American accent though must be scary infront of lots of Americans to do that Bxxxx

how long is it? i like war things, maybe i should get it. not 300 hours, shirley? david shwimmer's in it isn't he? can he actually do serious acting? (breast implant comedy, anyone?)

[waitingforsimon]

Its 782mins according to the dvd! Actually its alright I always avoid war stuff cos my dad forced me to watch it as a kid...hmm maybe thats why I have uniform fetish...anyway yeah its alright if you like war stuff its very realistic and some of the camera work makes you feel a little sick but its ok yeah Bxxx

Wow that was a long way of saying yeah watch it wasnt it?
