A question I have...is Dale Dye going to have an active role onscreen like he did with BAND OF BROTHERS?

1 minor correction. Dylan Young is spelt with A not a O. A young actor with a bright future

Gary Sweet is a well known local actor in his late 40's early 50's. Would assume he would play an officer or senior NCO in either Aussie or US forces including maybe navel forces.

I have not seen Dale Dye in any cast list as yet. But i have seen test shots of him in full gear instructing the actors as they come off the amtracs.

Jon Bernthal is now Rodriguez

Brynn Loosemore as Corpsman Harlan

Garry Sweet is Haney

Andrew Lees is Oswalt

Mitch Ryan is Garland

yes i am dying to see some photo of the production, i mean i know it only started filming on the 13th of this month, but with it being the major landings of the "pacific" i thought for sure something would have turned up! But my search has proven fruitless??????

They actually started shooting on the 10th, ahead of schedule. The only action shot i've seen is not there any more but I do have some other interesting pics on my phone i will upload when i can find the damn cable.

You'll find that quite a number of Australian actors like Gary Sweet will have roles in this, small or otherwise. I understand one requirment that overseas productions have to film in Australia is to have some Australian content in actors, production crew etc. Having said that I've heard that HBO will be using a UK based Armourer, and not an Australian crew which is interesting.

I was registered with one casting agency on the Gold Coast and they had a preference for Americans living in Queensland, or Australians who could deliver passable American accents. There are also classes available for extras and others to learn "the twang".

I have been told by a good friend (who is former USMC & MCRD San Diego) , that I can deliver quite a good mid western accent :lol:

The character name of Corpsman Harlan has been changed to Corpsman Lewis,
retaining 'Harlan' as the first name. He appears in the first episode and is still
played by the actor Brynn Loosemore from Sydney.

I'm assuming that they are using Simon Atherton as the armorer -- his team worked on Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers.
