    Fantastic actor, and major respect to Bill Guarnere and Dick Winters.

      On an aside, I was at a stoplight Ephrata Pennsylvania on a cold February night, and, while in The Major’s home town, the sudden thought “Major Winters still lives” came over me. Actually, he had died days before, but had enough clout to keep it out of the paper’s until after his private interment, to protect his family. Weird.

He was brilliant. I knit a lot of Christmas gifts that fall.

    Really odd hearing Lewis speak in his native accent. I know it's his real accent here, but still, quite odd to hear. (Yes, I'm an American).

    They picked the right guy to play Dick Winters. He did a great job.

    I should not have watched this. He will forever be Dick Winters in my mind.

    He also commented in Conan. When he in front of an American he automatically use the American accent. XD
