10 Huge Actors You Didn't Realise Were In Band Of Brothers
6. Andrew Scott - Pvt John Hall
Before he was trying to take down both James Bond and Sherlock Holmes, Andrew Scott was one of many actors who found their way onto the set of Band of Brothers. His role in show - and in Easy Company - is not quite as big as others on this list, but he does have an important distinction which separates him from his fellow co-stars.
Playing Private John "Cowboy" Hall, a member of Easy Company during the show's second episode, "Day of Days", Scott has a few moments to shine and show audiences what he's made of. But once the company is on the ground after the initial D-Day Landings, Hall becomes the first soldier to fall under the command of then-Lieutenant Winters.
His death sparks a shift in tone for the show, and a sudden realisation for Winters (Damien Lewis) that the coming war will be anything but easy to get through. Like many other deaths on the show, Hall's is one which weighs on the mind of Winters.
Since starring in the war drama, Scott has gone on to a major role in Sherlock as Jim Moriarty, and roles in the Bond film Spectre and the series Fleabag. He also returned to the war genre with the epic 1917.
As a nice bonus fact, Scott also had a role as an extra in 1998's Saving Private Ryan, during the D-Day Landing scene. Maybe he made an impression on Hanks and Spielberg?
