This is a compilation of highlights from a panel held at the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force with Kirk Saduski (executive and producer at Playtone), Donald L. Miller (author of Masters of the Air), and Nate Mann (you know who he is 😌). The whole discussion is very insightful and really fun to watch, especially because Don knew Rosie very well, so I highly recommend that you watch it in its entirety. You can watch it here. There's a summary below if you don't want to watch the compilation 😉

Don on Rosie and Nate: “I’ve never met a more impressive human being in my life… his poise, his coolness, his composure.” He thinks Nate “played [Rosie] to a T.” 

Nate on the cast getting to know each other and the friendships formed: “A mission like [Münster]… took probably three weeks in a replica cockpit… all the while, Josh Bolt, my co-pilot is sitting right next to me… this was going on for a year… I was just texting him today… that kind of friendship is really the foundation of something like this… because they’re really up there for one another.”

Don on the show: “What makes the film for me is what Kirk talked about… the attention to detail is incredible and the dedication on the part of the actors, they jumped into these roles… I never saw a group of actors so emphatically committed to the project as these guys were; it was really incredible.”

Don on Rosie and Nate: “Rosie was [the] kind of guy who walks into a room and commands the room.” To Nate: “I thought you did that brilliantly, in an understated way. It would have been so easy to overstate that.” —> Nate: *nods vigorously and mouths 'thank you'* 😊🙏

Kirk to Nate: “You’re at the beginning of what we know is going to be a brilliant career, Nate.” —> Nate: *embarrassed* 🤭🙈🙉🙊🫣

Nate on how playing Rosie affected his life: “Things stick around… It’s always a good sign when you keep coming up with questions you might ask of your character. I would love to just sit down and talk to [Rosie] about jazz… I still feel this curiosity about him.”

Nate on how the incorporation of Rosie’s love for music was helpful: “When I first encountered Rosie, the thing you’re struck by is the magnitude of what he went through and what he chose to do in spite of what he went through, and that warrior-spirit... juxtaposed with this incredible warmth and this grace, and that’s where the music lives for me... He had this sense of trying to bring a buoyancy into others’ experiences, and I think he did with his crew. That balance there, between that steel-headed courage and his effortless warmth with others, was kind of where I tried to pivot.”

During the pandemic, Nate found a letter from his grandfather on his father’s side: it was from 1941 and mentioned how “unhappy he was.” 

The letter said: “I just feel this frustration… this sense of wanting to do something with my life, this sense of responsibility, this sense of responsibility to you, to my parents, to my country, and to this society that gives me, a jew, a chance to live.” 

Nate thought of that letter when auditioning for MotA because “that personal sense of duty, for Rosie, was so pivotal to his inspiration and helping him fight.” He further said that “getting to explore that connection to [his] grandfather… it’s one of those unexpected great wonders of getting to do the work that [they] get to do.”

Nate on what stands out with this project: “This is unique in that, feeling connected to this history and being able to be part of sharing it with you guys and helping to educate the public on these men, on WW2, on that sacrifice, brings a whole other dimension of meaning to our work.”

The rest of the video is made up of clips of Nate being an adorable, sweet, thoughtful, and supportive human being 🥰

love how the photographs of mota boys looks so cool and artistic with poses, lights and angles etcetera and the ones of bofb boys make them look like they havent slept for years and are probably on drugs and were taken with flashlights on. very cute.

#honestly some of the mota shots truly look like they could be from a fashion magazine....even the Stalag ones!!!! #(not a criticism just an observation!!!)

"Well, congratulations, Rosie. At least you’ll make it out of this fucking war alive. I mean, changing the rules on us mid-game? That’s bullshit, Jack. They want us all to fucking die up there, and no one gives a shit."

This is a little clip about Nate Mann from an interview with Sam Rosenthal. Sam Rosenthal is Lt. Col. Robert "Rosie" Rosenthal's grandson, who played Lt. Arthur L. Jacobson in Masters of the Air. You can see him in the cockpit with Austin Butler and Freddy Carter during the Regensburg mission in episode three.

I highly recommend that you watch the full interview. It is always so touching to hear stories from the veterans' families and their thoughts on shows like Band of Brothers, The Pacific, and Masters of the Air, especially since it tells the story of someone they held close to their heart.

Sam Rosenthal, Nate Mann, and Dan Rosenthal (Rosie's son and Sam's father) at the premiere of Masters of the Air in LA.

#the way i almost teared up #it is always amazing when the actors get the blessing of the family #it reflects a whole lot on the real personality of whom they cast beyond the veneer of the person they were playing???? #and i'm so glad that they got on well with nate #also: casting directors #PLZ

#i literally changed my phone two days ago #it had served me well for more than five years #and i would have wanted to prolong it if not for the battery issue and screen burn #i could have just lived with it a while longer but it gets worse with heat and summer is around the corner #so i made the decision to switch to new phone #i'm still using my old phone as a mini-tablet with wifi though because it still works #and i will keep on using it until it properly dies #edit: i also use my phone for work so if it dies when i'm actually working i'm screwed
