Swindon actor aims high
Mark Lawrence as Bill Dukeman in Band of Brothers.
Swindon actor Mark Lawrence recently starred in BBC2’s epic wartime mini-series Band of Brothers.
He explains what led up to his role as real life soldier Bill Dukeman and his future ambitions.
Born and bred in Swindon, Mark, 31, attended Dorcan School and says becoming an actor had possibly always been his destiny.
It seemed, like many actors, he was an attention-seeker from an early age.
"I wasn’t very academic at school", he said, "I tended to be the class idiot! It was the only thing I was good at."
Early jobs included a stint at Swindon’s Rover car factory as well as a window-cleaning round before Mark decided to fulfil his ambition to tread the boards.
He saved all his money and headed for New York where after a successful audition he enrolled in the world-renowned Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.
Strasberg is famous for developing the ‘Method’ style of acting in which an actor immerses themselves in the role to such a degree that they almost live the part.
Devotees of this technique include heavyweight thespians such as Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro who were previous students of Strasberg.
Unsurprisingly these actors were an early inspiration for Mark and he felt that the only way to pursue his dream was to follow in their footsteps at the Institute.
He emerged 18 months later and swiftly appeared in a number of student films at the New York University.
Possibly one of his most unusual roles around this time included playing a man who fell in love with a water melon! This culminated in a scene where had to simulate a love scene with the melon in Washington Square Park in broad daylight!
This led onto further parts in off-Broadway productions such as Eugene O’Neills’ Long Day’s Journey into Night.
On his return to the UK he secured an agent and began to pick up minor television roles in Channel 5 soap Family Affairs, The Bill and as a rapist in a Crimewatch reconstruction.
It was an unsuccessful audition for Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan that eventually led to Mark winning the role of William Dukeman in Band of Brothers.
This 10 part mini-series was based on Stephen Ambrose’s non fiction novel about the coming of age of a World War II US army unit, Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division.
It went on to become one of the most ambitious and expensive productions ever attempted for the small screen and was executive-produced by Steven Spielberg.
Two-time Academy Award winning actor Tom Hanks and the man dubbed ‘the most powerful actor in Hollywood’ was one of the directors on the series and was the man responsible for casting Mark in the series.
Mark said "finally meeting Tom was a bit nerve-wracking. I walked in and didn’t recognise him at first as he had been filming Castaway and still had a great big beard.
After I read for him he said ‘that’s great, just get out’, I didn’t know how to take that at first but he then went on to offer me the part".
Filming began in April 2000 at Hatfield Aerodrome in Hertfordshire.
The size of the production was somewhat overwhelming for Mark.
"It was the biggest production I’m ever likely to see in my life", he said.
The actors were required to prepare for their soldierly roles by attending a Boot Camp for 10 days which entailed sleeping in barracks, going on late-night manoeuvres and being ‘punished’ with rounds of press-ups!
"We got shouted at every day by real ex-marines but it was amazing. It created a real bond among the principle cast", Mark said.
Marks’ character Bill Dukeman was killed in September 1944 during Operation Market Garden in Holland.
This was an aborted attempt by the 101st Airborne Division to secure bridges across the Dutch rivers in Holland to enable the Allied army to advance into the lowlands of Germany.
Mark got the chance to meet Bill Dukeman’s family at the premiere of Band of Brothers which took place on the anniversary of D-Day on June 6th 2001 at the Utah Beach Memorial in Normandy.
He was heartened to receive their blessing and appreciation for his portrayal of the tragic soldier.
He said "they were happy that one of their relatives was shown in a heroic light".
Since the series finished a month ago, Mark has been pleasantly surprised to receive plaudits from members of the public who admired his work in the series.
He recently received his first letter requesting an autograph from a young fan from Swansea.
"That was really nice" he said.
As well as Band of Brothers, Mark has also been seen working alongside Julie Walters in the recent ITV drama My Beautiful Son.
Although he has many projects in the pipeline for 2002, Mark said that if he had the chance he would most like to work with Brit directors like Ken Loach and Mike Leigh, famed for their gritty ‘kitchen-sink’ suburban films. However, on the flipside he would love to appear in a big American western!
Regardless of what his future may hold Mark is philosophical about his Band of Brothers experience.
He said, "It was an amazing experience for me, in terms of the size of the production possibly something that I’ll never get the chance to repeat again. It’s going to be hard to top it."

Actors for the series, such as Steven Walters, left, and Rick Warden, went through regulation military training to give their performance an edge.

The cast in Band of Brothers was wonderfull. I miss them all, and wednesday-nights feels so empty without BoB!
I'm new here, and I'm from Finland so I can't speak english very well. Hope you understand
Iines
| |
Don't worry, Iines, you are not alone. I miss the series too, seeing the men of Easy Company. I am glad I taped the series & I can watch them whenever I need a fix!! lol
Melissa
| |
Welcome Iines.
Don't worry Melissa, you are not alone. Most of us taped the series and never get tired of watching them. ;)
Hey Iines, did you get to tape the series too? I hope you did. Enjoy the site.
gold
| |
Thanks
I have taped only five of them, because first episode I saw was episode 4. I have watched them all many times, and today I will watch "points"
At Christmas I will buy BoB DVD. I cant wait!!
Iines
| |
Which episodes were you able to tape? At least you have 5, bettet than nothing at all. ;)
gold
| |
I taped episodes 5-10. I'm happy I have them, especially "crossroads" and "points" are my favourites, others are good too, of course
But I cant wait to see first four episodes. Will you buy the DVD?
Iines
| |
Hi everyone. Tom Hanks is listed in the cast as "British Officer". Did anybody see him in any of the eps. I have watched it over and over (especially Currahee and Crossroads) but I can't seem to catch him.
Btw, this is my first time here and its a the best BoB site so far.
Cheers.
| |
Hi! I haven't seen Tom Hanks but it would be intresting
Iines
| |
I heard on one of the boards that he was in the episode "Crossroads" because that is the episode that he directed also. But I am not sure exactly where he is, maybe in the Operation Market Garden scene when Martin tells the driver of the "British" tank that the tiger tank is right around the corner & then they end up getting hit by it?? I know he is not the driver but maybe he is one of the soldiers on the ground following the tank??
Melissa
| |
It's like Where's Waldo? but in this case it's Where's Tom Hanks? lol
Melissa
| |
Tom Hanks has a cameo role, non-speaking. He's standing in the first tank coming into the square in Eindhoven in Replacements, Episode 4. He's wearing a leather skullcap as tankers do, but he's standing and gesturing to the crowd. No close-ups -- you'll have to look closely and you can see the body language. Babe Heffron is in the same scene there in the square. BK
| |
BK, so that is him? Oh my...i've been looking for him for months in the series but with no luck! Thanks for sharing that one BK, would surely check it out.
Richard, welcome!
LOL Melissa. Search is over this time, BK found Waldo, or Tom in our case ;)
gold
| |
No wonder I couldn't find Tom with my little tv I still can't tell which one is him! I'll have to wait til next weekend and watch it on my parents big screen. Thanks BK! Great find!
Kelly
| |
Thanks BK.
I'll pause that section and check it out.
That's the only thing that has stumped me for a while.
Cheers.
| |
Okay, i can see a guy on top of the tank but he wasn't standing. If i look closely though, he has a resemblance with Tom. I'm not sure though if i found the right guy. Thanks BK

Hello all!
I have been curious, have anybody here been in paratroops training?
And girls, have you been or will you go to army?
I'm just 15 so i can't surely say anything yet, but army really intrest me. Because of BoB of course
Iines
| |
I'm a scaredy cat...
So, even if i would like to join the army, i'll be too scared to go to war.
gold
| |
hey Iines and gold (and others of course).
yeah i would like to know the answer to Iines' question too. some time ago i looked into the possibilities of becoming an army doctor. but since i am no longer a med student....
irene
| |
I have to agree with Gold, I looked into joining the army but the chance of going to war, I was just too scared. That's why I have such great respect for the men of Easy Company & all the veterans who went to war. CURRAHEE!
Melissa
| |
Yes, well, I'm sure I couldn't go to war, too. But i think war isn't even possible in my lifetime here in Finland
Paratroops training must be really too hard for me, so it's better to me to forget it
Even though i would like to feel what it was like.

Re:Cobb
Michael, tell us something new!
| |
Lol! I hated his character. The guy did a good job playing him from what I read in the book.
| |
For new parts for Craig Heaney (Cobb), he is an a commercial over here in Britain for Smirnoff Ice (He has a girlfriend coming in 5 minutes, and his flat-mates haven't tidied up yet so he tells them to. He goes downstairs to greet her and when they come up, the three friends are stood with nothing but skirts on vacuumning pretending they're gay, giving the girl the mipression that he is too, fantastic!)Seriously though well acted. Also, a few years ago, he played MathsMan, a maths superhero who is on at around 11:30GMT on BBC2, helping Kids with maths questions. I had a day off and was flicking over the channels when I suddenly said "Roy Cobb!" and couldn't believe it! He flies around the world a la Superman saving children with Maths homework problems! As I'm British, its only right I mention Damian Lewis' new series on the life of disgraced MP Jeffrey Archer (Wednesday BBC1.)
| |
http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/archer2.shtml I dont know whether this link has worked but is the official BBC page for the Jeffrey Archer drama contaning Damian Lewis.
| |
Thanks for the link, Lee! Everything about Damian Lewis is always veeery welcome
Iines
| |
Did any Brits see the Damian Lewis programme? I thought it was very good, not at all true of course, but very funny! Especially the bit where he has an affair with Margerat Thatcher! (aargh!)

The following are upcoming parts for the British BoB stars:

Iines,
To answer your question from October, when I was with the Canadian Military a few years back a bunch of us had a chance to take the Airborne jump course in Edmonton, Alberta. Let me tell you I've never had to do so much running and pushups in my entire life. But it was worth it because in our last week there we jumped, and boy was it great! The only thing that hurt was the landing, because the ground was frozen{middle of february} and also always remember try not to land when you are going with the wind, as one can pick up speed and end up doing a feet, knees, face landing, then be dragged for a bit!! Tends to bruise the ego!!LOL.
Anyways have a good one,
Steve L.

Tom Hanks is in ep 9 "Why We Fight". When they are riding in the trucks they pass a house and a guy drags some Germans out of a house and shoots them. The guy shooting the Germans is Tom Hanks.
| |
Tom Hanks is a sneaky one.
| |
Steve,
Really, that's great! Yes, jumping sounds so interesting, i would really like to try it but...it must be relly frightening to see how high you are. I think i'd just stop right there and someone should push me to sky
Did you jump from plane? And how high did you do it? Was you frightened??
Iines
| |
I just want to thanx Tom and Steven and all staffs for such a great movie that now is a past of my life.I also want to thank cast directers who did a really really gerat job.I always wonder how they do that.All of the cast were very fantastic(and good looking as well,right?.and look! how similar between Mathew and real Captain Speairs).
At first,I just fell in love to Demian(well,who didn't?)
But now I can't help to like all of them.Thay are so charm and attractive(I mean "too" charm and attractive ^_^).
P.S.Does anyyou know if some of them has ever seen this (great) site and see how much we love them?
P.S.2 Please forgive my english.I know I poor at it.
Sincerly,
Kay

Hey kay, welcome!!!
So true, they are all indeed charming and attractive!
Don't worry about your english, it may not be perfect but i can understand it

Am I going over the top? For Christmas, I got The BoB soundtrack (track 2 makes the hairs at the back of my neck stand on end!), I bought the DVD a month a go, the video with it, the book, in paperback and hardback, letter from Wild Bill Guarnere, all I need now is a poster, o any Brits know where I can get one not on the net?
| |
Hi lee, you are not going overboard. My opinion is that you can't have enough of a thing you love.
If this reassures here is a list of the things I've got. I have the book, paperback, in english, looking for the Dutch, a BoB calender, soundtrack, dvd, all episodes on video, scrabbook, mousepad, poster, second is on his way, and last, but not least, pictures of Bill and Babe in Eindhoven. You are only half way.
Greets, Anita.
| |
Lee, of course not! That only shows how much you really love BoB

Erin,
Does anyone know anything about Tim Matthews, who played Alex Penkala. I was very impressed by both him and his character, found myself wanting to know more.
Thanks
Erin

Erin, i tried to look up Tim at imdb but there are so many Tim Matthews over there and i couldn't find more. Guess that wasn't just my luck huh?
gold
| |
Hey,
Thanks Gold, yeah you can follow the link via Band Of Brothers at imdb.com, and that should get u to the right Tim Matthews *i gather anyway
*. It has some stuff he has been in, but no info on him.
Erin
http://bingham.sinfree.net

One of the things I love about Band Of Brothers is that you don't need to watch the series over and over again to see the actors in the series (although that hasn't stopped most of us! lol.)
Despite the fact that most of the actors in the series are reletively unknowns they seem to be popping up everywhere I turn: on t.v shows, movies, awards ceremonies etc.
I guess that's another bonus of have a huge cast!!!
| |
I know! I think they won "Best in Casting" during the emmy's too?
gold
| |
Janine,
Haha! I know what you mean!!! I am annoying the hell out of my parents *yes i still live at home*, because in almost every TV show you can hear me going "Hey, He's from Band Of Brothers!!!". To which my father replies "Isn't everyone?". haha!
Erin
| |
You are lucky because i haven't seen anybody else but David Scwimmer and Scott Grimes on TV
I think it's because i live here in Finland where they don't air almost anything that i would like to see...for example Boomtown. Or then i'm just too blind, it's so hard to recognize the boys without their uniforms;)
Iines
| |
You're not alone Iines
gold
| |
Yes...sometimes feels like it would be better to live in UK or England where all things usually happen. I mean many movies and series are done there and also many BoB actors and vets live there;) I would love to meet them!!
Iines

I have a cousin who lives in London and I was thinking of visiting her next year. I'd love to get a taste of the BBC.
Ron Livingston (Nixon) was in the movie "Office Space". Never seen it, but I hear it's hilarious.
Which program did you see Scott Grimes in, Iines?
| |
Wow, lucky you, if i remember right, Damian lives in London! ;)
Scott Grimes was in series called "Fives story" or something like that, i don't know it surely because i know only it's Finnish name. When i first saw him i just stared him, and i really couldn't say was it Scott or not. But when the next episode came, there was his name in the beginning
Iines
| |
ross lives in london too but heard he's in LA right now
gold
| |
Ohh, i have to get there! Ross and Damian in one city...
Iines
| |
Okay ladies...I have to ask...
On a purely "Hollywood" basis, I guess, who is your favorite character on BoB? You can't say all of them (although it's pretty tempting, isn't it?).
Mine would have to be Damian Lewis as Maj. Winters and Ron Livingston as Capt. Nixon. Oh and Richard Speight (Skip) and Scott Grimes (Malarkey). Gotta include Matthew Settle, too. Something about the dark hair and dark eyes, I guess. So much for not picking them all.
Iines, is "Fives Story" a British TV series or US? And does anyone know if any of the British series that Damian stars in are available on DVD?
BTW, how's the weather over in you gals' neck of the woods? Old man winter's packing his bags and heading out over here. Can't wait for spring.
| |
that's a tough question! i want to say all of them!! but here goes nothing: ross, damian, matthew s.,rsj,fjh,ron, shane, eion, scott, james, donnie, neal...ok, who did i miss? :D
gold
| |
gold, i don't think you missed one!!
lol ;D
melissa
| |
My favourite is Damian, but it's so hard to say second one...well, Ross(Liebgott), Eion(Web), Donnie(Lip), Rick(Luz) and Shane(Roe) are my favourites... but i like all the others too!;)
Except Sobel, Dike and Cobb.
I'm not sure is it British or American series...but i can maybe find it out at next program, so i can tell you then
About weather, we had very springlike day today...i sat an our on a tree trunk, the sun was shining so warmly. Alltough there are still some snow here. I can't wait for the summer!
Iines
| |
Tonight, British film Lock, Stock is on again, it's a great film, and Dexter Fletcher is in it. I was just wondering whther that's him who played Jonny Martin? What I've done is, tape any bits where old BoB actors appear. So far, I've got Damian Lewis playing Jeffrey Archer, Eion Bailey in Fight club, Neil McDonough(?) and Donnie Wahlberg in something called Boomtown, Lewis again, being interviewed by World Famous Parkinson! and now I can tick Fletcher off my list!
| |
Yes, he played Martin.
You have nice collection then...i have only BoB taped but i would like to see boys somewhere else too
Iines
| |
I live in Australia, but i still manage to see the B.O.B oys in almost everything! It helps, i guess that i have cable.
Scott was in Party Of Five, btw.
| |
PM Lee-Simon Pegg, who played first sergeant Evans was in comic relief doing a very funny impersonation of Freddie Starr hehe, the guy who plays Vest (I've forgotten his name) is a lead actor in a BBC3 series which is repeated on BBC1 late on Tuesday night (pretty good actor too) and I think Craig Heaney is in a Real McCoy Crisp advert, the one where the bloke in the nightclub is downing a pack of crisps instead of a pint lol.

Hi people.
I was watching U-571 a few days ago and i couldn't help noticing the actor playing "Tank", Dave Power. He's in Band of Brothers as well isn't he? The one who commented "This isn't spaghetti.." and i think he had another line when they were aboard the ship during Mr Liebgott's and Mr. Guarnere's fist fight...I hadn't looked up the name from credits of the series yet.
michelle
| |
Hi Michelle,
The only person I noticed on U-571 was Matthew Settle who portrayed Capt Speirs. Unfortunately, he is not in the movie very much. *********SPOILER*******************
He dies pretty early on, gets shot then drowns when he is being rescued.
I guess I will have to watch the movie again & see if I see him.
Melissa
| |
Hi to you too Melissa,
I had time to check some of the posts here and indeed there's a Dave Power on the cast of the series. Although from the series, i don't think we get who he is portaying but from the posts here, he's "Dietrich" (in others it's "Pvt Rudolph Dittrich"). Well, in contrast to Matthew Settle, Dave Power is in the entire movie with a not so minor role, so you'll see him =) Nice to meet you Mel.
Michelle
| |
It was nice to meet you too, Michelle.
I will have to check the movie out again.
Have a great weekend.
TGIF!!!
Melissa

hi everyone!
Does this man look like anybody we know? sorry the pic's not any clearer though.. (I'm not sure i'm doing this right at all =) )
:
michelle
| |
I'm quite sure now that that man is Mr. Heffron, appearing as an extra in Episode 4. I wasn't too sure before because I once read that he was asked to appear as an extra in a tavern scene and that scene didn't look like one to me..It wasn't until later that I realized there were tables around him and he was sitting next to one...with bottles and glasses right in front of him. Anyway, who could blame me for not noticing as there are more interesting things to notice in that scene such as Sgt. Talbert getting some er action with that Dutch woman. =) Cheers!!!
Wouldn't it have been delighting if the real Mr Heffron appeared in the same scene as the actor portraying him ?

hi

Hi there!

Hi there!

Sorry about that...
Hi there!
Craig Heaney is in the Blue WKD commercials in the UK and Irl. It's an alco pop. The concept is a group of lads playing pranks on each other. In one they put up a cardboard plank painted with bricks and put it in front of some elevator doors, when the Craig Heaney gets to the right floor he thinks he is stuck between floors because of the bricks. It's great. Have to agree Cobb is not a very likeable character. I kind of felt sorry for him though. He obviously didn't handle war well. Who could blame him! Ah but he's cute all the same - you don't know whether to hug him or give him a slap around the back of the head!

Thanks for the heads up Olivia!

I have a question that maybe someone can help me out with. Does Major Horton appear in any episode?
I have been looking but I can't find him anywhere.
Also who is the Major/Capt?? that appears in the background firstly, behind Col Sink to our right at the party after Easy get their jump wings and behind Lip at the outdoor reception in Zell Am See when he is assigned to Battalion HQ by Winters?

Hi, I've just seen the news over here in England, and it's bad news for George Calil, who plays Mo Alley. He's been arrested in connection with the incident involving his lover and on screen colleague in 'Holby City' falling from a balcony window. She is in a critical state - there's more on the BBC news website

Re: Major Horton
As far as I know, he doesn't appear at all. The first mention of him is during the practical joke that is played on Sobel, when Luz impersonates the Major despite him being in London. The next mention of him is when Sink informs Winters & Nixon of his death (episode 5) while helping 3rd battalion. Not sure about the other character though. Does he have a name badge on?

Not that I could make out. Might have spotted Maj Horton though. At the beginning of Crossroads Winters and Nix go to Battlion HQ where they are briefed on Operation Pegasus. Is that him sitting at the table with Sink behind him?I love the line Sink says.
"Godamn here it is today when I asked for it yesterday. A day late and a dollar short!"

No disrespect intended, but is there any way to get a topic for Peter Youngblood Hills, who played "Shifty" Powers in the miniseries? He was a huge part of Band Of Brothers, and I think he deserves one.
Thanks,
JJ
