Mr Brand was one of my heroes as I was growing up. The older I get, the more respect I have for men like him, Mr. Bronson, and Mr. Garner. There are more. Just keep reading and watching stories like this one. Mr. Stewart is another great one too.
So many actors we grew up watching served in the military. WWII, Korea, Vietnam. That episode was really powerful, but so many Twilight Zone episodes were impactful. RIP Neville Brand!
Thank you Neville Brand , Rod Serling and Charles Bronson for serving our country 🇺🇲 and taking the time to pay your respect to your courageous friend . May you all RIP 💐🌸🪷🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷🪻⚘️.
Beautiful story. Veterans helping veterans. Thanks as always, Nick. "A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." (Proverbs 18:24)
Because many men lead lives of quiet desperation. PTSD wasn't understood then, I'm sure my father had it, but you were just expected to get on with your life.
No matter what you might think, everyone has his own stories, his own problems. Kindness and appreciation goes a long way, and is always worthwhile! RIP Rod, RIP Neville 👏🇺🇸
It's amazing to me the caliber of human beings so many of yesterdays actors were. I grew up watching these people never knowing how many were veterans, with amazing stories.
These men shaped a generation, not only with their acting, but with their strength of character and courage. We need men like them once again, men willing to stand up for what's right.
People who have never been in a military and suffering battles of the scars from the traumatic experience live forever in their mind and their body and overwhelms you to a point that it's so hard to live now they call it PTSD I give my hat off to this man he was a great actor and a warrior and a person who survived world war II with 80 million people died I mean that's a lot of people my God 80 million people and he survived I think you deserved a lot more than just a purple heart
I Thank you Sir and all our Veterans for their and your Services and Sacrifices God bless you all and your families Amen USA ❤️🤍💙💜☮️🤗🛐✝️😇🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
When I was a kid I'd watch him on TV and was just amazed by his strength and manliness! I can imagine what he and Rod talked about! He also an amazing veteran!
I got goose pumps hearing this amazing story. Neville Brand was one of my favorite actors growing up in the 60tys. I liked his rough look n that great voice. I’m happy to say, thank you Rod Sterling for whatever your words were spoken it made Newell a great actor. ♥️😊👍
Many of us enjoyed the roles Mr. Brand and other actors of his generation performed. It is alarming how so many people of our country have forgotten the importance of how these men fought for their freedom. They were not fools or suckers who gave of themselves to protect America and the world. We have enjoyed the greatest degree of freedom since the time of the Romans. In less than a month, we will be asked to do our part to sustain the liberties of our country. Look upon the actions of these brave and humble men and ignore the divisiveness and self-serving rationale of those who only care about their donors.
They were completely different people. I had an incident in the Army that resulted in the death of 4 of my friends because they were in the location I was supposed to be. I kept it to myself for 37 years. It ate me alive and affected every aspect of my life. I finally had a meltdown right in front of a VA psychologist. She probably saved my life.
Can't believe I came upon this - I loved Neville Brand as an actor, just watching him in an old movie a day or so ago - amazing the life stories that we never knew about - thank you for this post.
I hadn't thought about him in awhile. I had a mad crush on him when he costarred as Reese in the series, "Laredo." Idk how long it was on, but I was smitten.
Neville Brand,like Audie Murphy and others fought in the war,shown incredible courage and bravery,but privately for the rest of their lives suffered unimaginable nightmares and like others of that generation never talked about it -PTS was not known at the time and you kept it to yourself and coped as best you could RIP Neville 💎 Auckland New Zealand 2024
This Particular Gentleman, Struck me, as young boy, as a very interesting Actor...I do not know why, but I 1st saw him in a "Kojak" episode playing a recovering addict, killed while helping a young addict friend of Kojak..And I was 🪝 Hooked.. His Style/Technique Mesmerized a young me😮.. I've Always Missed Mr. Brand. Pray You Are Resting Peacefully Sir 🙏..You are Missed 😢💕
He just seemed like the type of guy who was a great person.... I never knew that he was a REAL LIFE HERO TOO ...MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP THIS BEAUTIFUL AND STRONG WARRIOR SAFE FOREVER ❤❤❤❤
Nick, bless you for all the beautiful, heartfelt stories you always have here on your channel, when I have the time to text a message or watch I almost always feel it in this old heart what dear people there were, that once lived. Thank you🇺🇸🕊💫✨️
Rod Sterling was a paratrooper and years later he made a publicity jump with active duty troops. He said he felt a little guilty that he got all the attention and he wrote a TV story about an actor that does the same thing and fails to come through. It is a story well worth watching if it can be found.
Love all these men from this era...total respect for serving our nation then coming home and attempting to live a normal life...not possible of course...can't forget that
I was recalled for Op Desert Shield/Storm. I saw firsthand the effects of chemical warfare, among other things, to which no human should be subjected. Every now and then something transports me back to that nightmarish ordeal. War’s an ugly, but necessary business, and this is why I always say, “I hope this generation of kids will be willing to answer the call and defend our Republic, if ever put in that position.” I’m now 2.5 yrs free of prescribed opiates and other narcotics that were used to help manage a complex pain envelope, and these stories help me more than you’ll ever know. Thank you 🙏🏻
Bronson served on a B29 over the Pacific. He was a gunner received the PH for action,shrapnel from attacking zeros. Credited with shooting down a zero.
George Takei in the background( he and his family were unfit stuck in a prison camp in ?California? -when Japanese Americans were put away not knowing what to do at that time as a country…….((not sure, the Japanese American men of age may have LATER fought heroically Elsewhere in the world For America. I Remember Nevelle in the movies, Interesting he met Charles Bronson, BOTH VETERANS OF W W2. THANK YOU FOR NOT LETTING THEM BE FORGOT AND LETTING US KNOW THEY WERE SO MUCH MORE THAN WHAT WE THOUGHT WE KNEW
D.O.A, 1948 movie starring Edmond O'Brien. Brand plays Chester, a bad guy bullying O'Brien. "Chester's gonna give it to him, right in the belly!" Then he socks him in gut with his gat. Good movie, great characters.
The episode was only telecast once and then withheld for decades before they played it again because of the intensely sensitive content and shocking ending. Rod Serling was a brilliant visionary, and I cannot imagine how much better the twilight zone could have been if advertisers had not interfered with his Creative efforts. The series is amazing so just imagine…
This was a great episode co-starring George Takei. Takei, as a child, was intermediate at a camp for Japanese Americans in the USA. Powerful episode that only aired nationally decades after it was filmed.
There is an unbreakable bond among combat veterans. It's a bond stronger than blood. Unless you've experienced it, you can't easily explain it to most people. Unfortunately not all vets can find a healthy outlet for their experiences and succumb to bad things. Wishing all my brothers in arms a healthy, happy and loving Thanksgiving. And to those who are suffering remember this, you are not alone. There is help available so you can overcome and live your life in peace. Bless all our past, present and future veterans.💖🇺🇸
My grandfather was also a WW2 veteran (British Special Forces) and he didn't talk much about the combat he'd seen. But from what he told me it was intense. I take my hat off to the veterans of that madness.
Another very good actor, and his character in stall 17. Which is one of my favorite wartime movies I was nicknamed after the mouse ‘Shnickel Fritz’. And I shortened it to Fritz. My stepmother used to call me Fritz all the time.
We forget how many of the stars of movies and TV in the '50s and '60s had survived a lot in WWII. Appreciate these reminders of what famous stars did when they were "nobodies".
It blows my mind just how many of my favorite movie stars were actually real-life heroes, it saddens me to no-end that now they are all either gone or on their way. My heart breaks for these courageous men because they were loved and idolized and if that was enough... they all would live forever.
Brand was also awarded the Silver Star for valor. The 3rd highest medal for bravery.
True
Well Done!!!
I just commented that he should have gotten more than a purple heart
@@bjornyesterday2562 You obviously have never fought in a war Have You? Neville Brand was a real hero nit the Fake ones you worship Go Home To your Mama young Boy
What an incredible story!
What men they were!
We need our men back!
Beautifully written
Loved that feller ❤
Mr Brand was one of my heroes as I was growing up.
The older I get, the more respect I have for men like him, Mr. Bronson, and Mr. Garner. There are more. Just keep reading and watching stories like this one.
Mr. Stewart is another great one too.
Same
Mr Marvin as well. Now that was a man's man right there.
Stalag 17 best one in it.
I liked Brand as the character Reese in the 60's western series "Laredo"
Al Capone on the Untouchables
So many actors we grew up watching served in the military. WWII, Korea, Vietnam. That episode was really powerful, but so many Twilight Zone episodes were impactful. RIP Neville Brand!

Yup alot of them.
Another brave soldier to make America proud!!!!! 🙏❤️ 🙏

Actually the purpose is to make Washington DC and friends hundreds of billions of tax dollars. No one is defending anything.
I remember him. He was a good actor. I didn't know he was in WW2.
Yup!
I did not either.
Many WERE
not like these modern actors
Rod Sterling, a combat vet too, in the Philippines in World War II, understood exactly what Brandt was feeling.

Another badass soldier who became a great actor. I enjoyed his work very much starting with "DOA" in 1950
The pain in a man's life is always taken for granted.
One of the best statements I've ever read. Thank you.

Good luck with that. Better off looking to women to fill that role.

Neville Brand, what a hunk. Better yet, a hero!
Thank you for recognizing him. 👏👏

Amazing how many greatest generation men and women sacrificed so much for our freedom. God rest their souls .

Amazing legend
Excellent episode, George Takae was in the episode as a Japanese soldier after the war. The interaction was superbly acted
LEST WE FORGET HAND SALUTE FOR ALL WHO SERVED IN THE WAR, BOTH AMERICAN AND OUR ALLIES.
They were completely different people.
I had an incident in the Army that resulted in the death of 4 of my friends because they were in the location I was supposed to be. I kept it to myself for 37 years. It ate me alive and affected every aspect of my life. I finally had a meltdown right in front of a VA psychologist. She probably saved my life.

That ALL of these men ended up in Hollywood is amazing in itself.
There is no comparing the actors of today with these men.

Yup
Bronson served on a B29 over the Pacific. He was a gunner received the PH for action,shrapnel from attacking zeros. Credited with shooting down a zero.
Neville Brand was one of my favourite actors. Audie Murphy too. No one knows the horrors the men who fought in that war. They suffered in silence
When Hollywood was full of heroes.
