10 Huge Actors You Didn't Realise Were In Band Of Brothers
2. Michael Fassbender - Sgt Burton "Pat" Christenson
Not only does Professor X turn up in Band of Brothers, he is joined by young Magneto himself, Michael Fassbender. Fassbender makes his way into seven of the show's ten episodes, believe it or not, but rarely gets the chance to stand out above the pack.
He plays Sergeant Burton "Pat" Christenson, a member of Easy Company who is terrorised by Captain Sobel during the company's intensive training exercises. After the first episode, he can be seen mostly in the background of the show's many key moments, mainly during episode nine, "Why We Fight", when Easy Company comes across a concentration camp. He can be seen in a state of disbelief as the company try to come to terms with what they're seeing.
After Band of Brothers, Fassbender has gone on to bigger and better things in his career, starring in the Alien franchise, the renewed X-Men series, Shame, Hunger, and 12 Years a Slave. Despite some of his recent work missing the mark with audiences, it's safe to say Fassbender has proved himself to be a seriously capable actor and a performer who's still got a lot left to show.
