Band of Brothers cast

Despite only consisting of ten episodes, Band of Brothers boasts a huge cast of characters with dozens of notable actors. As a large ensemble, it’s hard to go over every single actor, as even if they only appear in a scene or two, everyone was bringing their A-game to this show. There is a good reason it won the Golden Globe and Emmy Award for Best Miniseries when it premiered.

Some of the people you might recognize in the cast include Oz alum Kirk Acevedo or The Walking Dead‘s Michael Cudlitz. Cudlitz plays Staff Sergeant Denver “Bull” Randleman, while Acevedo portrays Staff Sergeant Joe Toye. Friends actor David Schwimmer also makes a dramatic turn in this show as Captain Herbert Sobel and he’s joined by Homeland and Billions alum Damien Lewis, who takes on the role of Major Richard “Dick” Winters.

A few of the actors who are now big-name stars, like Tom Hardy and James McAvoy, only appear in minor roles on the show. Remember, Band of Brothers initially debuted in 2001, so a lot has changed since then.
