Band of Brothers Ages: IRL vs. Actors
Did you know that according to a 1947 study, almost half the men who served in WWII were still under age 26 by the end of the war?
What this is : A (very long) post comparing the ages of the actors in Band of Brothers vs. the IRL figures they are portraying.
Background: Did I need to do this? No. Did anyone ask for this? Also no. Did I do it anyway? Yes.
Disclaimers: This is SUPER approximate for the most part. I based IRL ages off of D-Day unless otherwise noted, and actor ages off of January 1, 2000, the year filming took place (the latter is where the most variation will be because I didn't try to figure out what month filming started). I also didn't fact-check birthdays beyond googling. Most are sourced from the Band of Brothers and Military Wikis on fandom.com, Wikipedia, and IMDb.
I broke them up into rough categories, which are, again, approximate. I know I often forget how young the real life people were here, and this was a good reminder of that. I also found it interesting to see which actors were actually younger than their roles!
Check it all out under the cut ⬇️

2017 Napa Valley A Cappella Extravaganza — VoicePlay live performances
VoicePlay on stage in Napa — photo by Haley Olson
Three years after their previous appearance, VoicePlay returned to northern California as the professional headliners for the annual high school and collegiate vocal festival in Yountville.
.
J.None was excited to hit the road with the guys after performing with them at Disney World for the previous two months.
.
When you're singing for other a cappella singers, it's hard to go wrong with a little musical theater. VoicePlay has plenty of Broadway material in their repertoire, and this was the most recent addition at the time.
Details:
title: Seasons of Love
original performers: cast of Rent (1996)
written by: Jonathan Larson
arranged by: VoicePlay & AJ Rafael
performance date: 28 January 2017
My favorite bits:
J.None's smooth timbre on the opening lines
the way they seamlessly pass the lead vocals around (But why doesn't Layne get a turn? 😞)
that momentary silence before they start the first chorus
when the rhythm section really kicks in 🥁🎸
Earl's crystal clear high tone on the second verse
that jazzy harmonized riff from Eli, J, and Earl
the layers of sound in the final chorus
such a lovely ending chord
Trivia:
As Geoff mentions in the intro, the guys had recorded this song as a collaboration with AJ Rafael in October, and the video premiered on his YouTube channel a couple weeks before this performance.
.
VoicePlay refuse to be confined to any one genre of music. They've tackled everything from barbershop to hard rock, country to sea shanties, pop ballads to orchestral pieces. So why not revisit the rap hits of their youth?
Details:
title: Aca Top 10 – Old School Rap
original songs / performers: "La-Di-Da-Di" by Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh; [0:16] "Going Back to Cali" by LL Cool J; [0:32] "Push It" by Salt-n-Pepa; [0:56] "Parents Just Don’t Understand" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince; [1:09] "Bust A Move" by Young MC; [1:32] "It's Tricky" by Run-DMC; [1:49] "Just A Friend" by Biz Markie; [2:12] "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice; [2:21] "The Humpty Dance" by Digital Underground; [2:44] "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang; [3:10] "Walk This Way" by Run-DMC & Aerosmith
written by: "La-Di-Da-Di" by Douglas "Doug E. Fresh" Davis & Richard "Slick Rick" Walters; "Going Back to Cali" by Rick Rubin & James "LL Cool J" Smith; "Push It" by Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor & Ray Davies; "Parents Just Don’t Understand" by Pete Harris, Will "Fresh Prince" Smith, Jeffrey "DJ Jazzy Jeff" Townes; "Bust A Move" by Marvin "Young MC" Young, Matt Dike, & Michael Ross; "It's Tricky" by Joseph "Rev. Run" Simmons, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Doug Fieger, & Berton Averre; "Just A Friend" by Marcel "Biz Markie" Hall; "Ice Ice Baby" by Robert "Vanilla Ice" Van Winkle, Mario Johnson, Queen, & David Bowie; "The Humpty Dance" by Earl Humphrey, Gregory "Shock G" Jacobs, & George Clinton; "Rapper's Delight" by Bernard Edwards, Nile Rodgers, Sylvia Robinson, Henry "Big Bank Hank" Jackson, Michael "Wonder Mike" Wright, Guy "Master Gee" O'Brien, Curtis "Grandmaster Caz" Brown, & William Hankshaw; "Walk This Way" by Joseph "Rev. Run" Simmons, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Steven Tyler, & Joe Perry
arranged by: Geoff Castellucci
performance date: 28 January 2017
My favorite bits:
Layne kicking things off with some old school beatboxing
Earl recreating the breathy part in "Push It"
Eli handling the scratching in the back during "Parents"
the middle three busting some lowkey moves as the lyrics instruct them to do
everybody bouncing to the beat during "Tricky"
Geoff continuing the "Ice Ice Baby" bass line under "The Humpty Dance" after the other guys leave him hanging
Eli showing off some slides in "Rapper's Delight"
J's little wave in response to the "hello" in the lyrics
the record skip effect at the end of "Walk This Way"
Trivia:
The guys originally recorded this countdown live in the studio, where they could do as many takes as they wanted. It's even more impressive seeing them perform it in front of an audience.
.
This video is missing the very beginning because the fan who recorded it got over-excited about them actually performing the song live. But how could they possibly resist singing the theme to one of the most beloved TV shows set in San Francisco when they were just north the city itself?
Details:
title: Everywhere You Look
original performers: Carly Rae Jepsen & Butch Walker for Fuller House (2016)
written by: Jesse Frederick, Bennett Salvay, & Jeff Franklin for Full House (1987)
arranged by: Layne Stein
performance date: 28 January 2017
My favorite bits:
the bouncy descending bass line leading into the chorus
Eli and J grooving along to their own harmonies
Earl's scooping crescendo as a transition into the second verse
the call and response of ♫ "never go away" ♫ "like the Olsen twins" ♫ 👭
that quick crisp diction of the ♫ "how do you know… " ♫ section
hearing a few audience members shout "Hey!" in time with the guys
that big coordinated descending riff at the end
Trivia:
This song was the second entry in VoicePlay's PartWork series, performed entirely by multiple versions of Earl and Layne.
.
Additional photos
.
Before they flew out of San Francisco the next day, J.None took a side trip to meet up with a friend, see a bit of the city, and get some fresh air.

George Percy R. E. Jacomb-Hood | A Very Gallant Gentleman (Lawrence 'Titus' Oates walking out into the night)
Captain Lawrence Edward Grace "Titus" Oates (17 March 1880 – 17 March 1912) was a British army officer, and later an Antarctic explorer, who died during the Terra Nova Expedition when he walked from his tent into a blizzard. His death, which occurred on his 32nd birthday, is seen as an act of self-sacrifice when, aware that the gangrene and frostbite from which he was suffering was compromising his three companions' chances of survival, he chose certain death for himself in order to relieve them of the burden of caring for him.
A large snow cairn built over the final camp and the bodies of Scott, Bowers and Wilson on the Great Ice Barrier (now called the Ross Ice Shelf), 12th November 1912. The cross pictured is inscribed:
"Hereabouts died a very gallant gentleman, Captain L. E. G. Oates, of the Inniskilling Dragoons. In March 1912, returning from the Pole, he walked willingly to his death in a blizzard, to try and save his comrades, beset by hardships."

"The problem is that the dukedom’s are kind of running out" they can always invent one (won't have historical ties but who cares) and there are quite a few dukedoms still left. I think the Duke of Thames or the Duke of Glasgow would be very nice new titles. They could even create ones with Sandringham, Balmoral, Highgrove, Kensington, London etc rhe same way the Duke of Windsor was created.
These are those available:
*Albany (suspended = it can be reclaimed by the descendants of the last Duke whose title was deprived during WWI)
*Albemarle
*Avondale
*Bedford
*Buckingham
*Cambridge [when Will becomes king]
*Strathearn [now as earldom to Will - available when Will becomes king]
*Clarence (not sure it can be created as dukedom as the earl of Clarence was held by the Duke of Albany)
* Cleveland
*Connaught
*Cumberland (suspended)
Greenwich [now Chatles is Baron G - available when he becomes king]
*Hereford
*Kendal
*Windsor
*Ross
* York with time in the future
Inverness [there was a duchess of Inverness once so if they want they could create a Duke of Inverness. Now it exists as Earldom and belongs to Andrew. At his death it goes into extinsion]
This just to show that there are dukedoms available and if not new ones can be invebted and created. At one point in the past all titles were invented eventually 😁
As for "Charles can’t “drop” Edinburgh either, if he did it would only go to William", the title is Charles's so he could have renounced to the title but within the year of inheriting it. The period has already expired.
It would have been dormant though until he would become king. This means there is no way for Will to be the Duke of Edinburgh unless his dad dies before becoming king.
I'm 100% sure he will give it to Edward. He made a promise to both his parents and it was written and made public when Edward's titles were announced as a wedding gift.
I know people prefer the safe side of pessimism to be pleasantly surprised the same way it happened with the Jubilee. Will Harry give up Sussex and the other titles? I don't really see it. Though if he does, he will just go back to being Prince Harry. Maybe if by misfortune another woman happens to marry him and he has renounced to his other titles, I could see Charles creating another dukedom for him but it will either be Ross or Kendal (the titles floating around at the time of his wedding with Morgana Markle). However, since Archie is his heir when his father dies, the Duke of Sussex/ the earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkil will be inherited by him and eventually his son if he has one, so the title doesn't become available in case Harry drops it.
Follow up ask: Hi! I sent you a submission on the dukedoms available to be created as royal. Just checked and the Dukedom of Bedford is not available as it exists as non-royal dukedom. Sorry for the mistake 😅
======
Thank you anon for the detailed submission.

Lee Remick and Ross Martin in Experiment in Terror (Blake Edwards, 1962
Cast: Lee Remick, Glenn Ford, Ross Martin, Stefanie Powers, Roy Poole, Ned Glass, Anita Loo, Patricia Huston, Gilbert Green, Clifton James, Al Avalon, William Bryant, Dick Crockett, James Lanphier. Screenplay: Gordon Gordon, Mildred Gordon, based on their novel. Cinematography: Philip H. Lathrop. Art direction: Robert Peterson. Film editing: Patrick McCormack. Music: Henry Mancini.
Experiment in Terror is a moody but slackly paced thriller that was the first film directed by Blake Edwards after his smash hit Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961). He would follow it up with another dark but more successful movie, Days of Wine and Roses (1962), also starring Lee Remick, but he became best known for his lighter work, especially the series of Peter Sellers comedies that began with The Pink Panther in 1963. Experiment in Terror begins well, with Kelly Sherwood (Remick) arriving home from her job in a San Francisco bank only to be trapped in her garage by a man who threatens to kill her or her sister if she doesn't help him steal $100,000 from the bank. It's an intense, well-played scene, filmed with some harrowing long-take closeups of Remick and the shadowy figure of the man, who speaks with a kind of raspy wheeze. This is all she can really tell the FBI when she defies the man's order not to contact the police. The agent who takes her call, John Ripley (Glenn Ford), immediately sets in motion an attempt to identify and trap the man, whose identity becomes clearer to us only as it becomes clearer to the G-men. He's "Red" Lynch, played very creepily by Ross Martin, a character actor familiar from TV, on which he had a recurring role in a series created by Edwards, Mr. Lucky, in 1959 and 1960, and would later gain more fame as Artemus Gordon on the late '60s series The Wild Wild West. In the course of the film, Red terrorizes and murders another woman before finally getting shot down on the pitcher's mound after a Giants-Dodgers game at the late, unlamented Candlestick Park in San Francisco, one of several locations used to good effect in the film. Unfortunately, a lot of the burden of the film falls on Ford, who gives a bland, colorless performance as Ripley, and Edwards doesn't build suspense effectively. Some of the fault of the film may lie in its screenplay by the married writing couple known as The Gordons, adapting their own novel. What life the film has comes from Remick and Martin, from Philip H. Lathrop's views of San Francisco, and from a score by Edwards's frequent collaborator, Henry Mancini.

Adventures in Ireland
Tuesday - 19 March - First day of Spring
One more sleep until we leave for Ireland! I don't think I'll be posting any TWITL entries while we're away so I thought I'd start this one as my diary on Ireland and then post when we're back home. So it's in the moment but you won't read it until we're home. Or on our way home. We'll see.
https://flic.kr/p/2pEeX6m
work companions in vacation mode
Thursday - 21 March - Here in Dublin! The bullet points first:
- The flight was LONG but uneventful. The seats across the aisle from us were open so R took that aisle seat and I had our bit of the row to myself. I managed to sleep after dinner (BBQ chicken with rice and corn). I watched Wonka in bits and pieces. Why do I already LOVE that movie?
- Leaving the airport was actually quite easy and we ended up in a taxi to our hotel. Our driver, Edward, was a lovely gentleman of 71 years. He easily chatted with us and told us some of the spots to see then told us a bit about his life. It was a nice drive.
- We checked in at Harrington Hall and I misheard "lift" as "left." Alas! Our room is one of the two level suites (the bed is in a loft area). It's rather spiffy!
- Our first pub was The Landmark. I had my first Guinness in Ireland there and managed to split the G. Good on me! Ha! The pub was laid back and casual and I liked that it was our first Irish pub experience. I heard more Irish accents than not so maybe that means we were the only tourists in the place? Who knows!
- Our first eating experience was a place called Eddie Rocket's City Diner, which I think is a take on Johnny Rockets? I know, I know, American style food for our first food experience in Ireland but we were hungry after our flight so it felt like a safe bet. The burger was fine, I liked the bun, but the service was neglectful at best after the food was delivered.
- We hit the Tesco afterwards for some snacks and drinks. Nothing too perishable as our room does not have a refrigerator.

my first bag of Tayto crisps
Friday - 22 March - Bullet points seem to be working so let's go with that for now.
- We woke up to construction next door, which was rather annoying but we eventually got over it. If we switch rooms, we'll be closer to the club and the room would be smaller. I think I can deal with the morning noise, now that I know what it is. And ideally, we won't be in our room so much. But we shall see.
- We headed out while it was still morning (go us!) and checked out the two parks closest to us-- Iveagh Gardens and St. Stephens Green Park. I realized as we were walking through that I really like parks, especially parks like these two. They were very lovely. Iveagh Gardens is the smaller of the two and rather quiet. St. Stephens Green Park is the big one and has a couple of listening trails. (QR code and walk along to the audio through your earbuds. We didn't do that.) St. Stephens is the popular one and there were lots of people milling about. We didn't go through the whole of each park but I did like them a lot.
- After the parks, we checked out the shopping mall and the shops along Grafton Street. We found Molly Malone then stopped at the pub across for some lunch and Guinness.
- We had lunch at O'Neill's Pub and Restaurant. I had the Irish Stew and it was AMAZING. Definitely a great choice as my first taste of Irish food (Tayto crisps notwithstanding though those are great too). The whole vibe of the place was great. I could totally hang out there all the time.
- Next stop was Tiger Tattoo. I could not go to Ireland without getting a tattoo and I had the perfect one in mind. We walked in and talked with Ross and I was good to go. We chatted while he created my tattoo and there was a moment or two where I mused on why I liked the pain so much. The tattoo looks great and I am so digging it. This is the first tattoo with color since my other wrist tattoo, which is almost 17 years old. (Wow, that's a long time!) I wonder if I'll start not wearing a watch or just switch to wearing it on my right wrist. We shall see!
- My after tattoo drink was had at Cassidy's. What a neat place! The bartender was friendly and chatted with us a bit. The place filled up as quitting time approached and by the time we left, it was getting lively.
- Our last stop was for dinner and drinks at BrewDog. What a neat place! I had their stout, which has been compared to Guinness. I liked it! Is it on par with Guinness? For me, almost but not quite. For food, I had their wings. SO GOOD! And wow, what a great value. So many wings for the "small" portion. I didn't finish, alas!
I'm really glad that we didn't book tours right at the beginning of our time here in Ireland. I feel like we're easing into being here and I like it. We're walking around the city and just checking out different things. I like how we didn't rush too much on this first full day in Ireland.

Saturday - 23 March - Dallied around town and took a fall at Trinity College...
- We headed out late (still suffering from jet lag or perhaps the walking from the day before?), walking out of the hotel in the early afternoon. It was raining but that would be the only time we'd have that bit. We walked to Trinity College, which was busy, of course.
- Trinity College was neat but the tours were sold out (it is Saturday, after all). It was just so cool to be there. We bought tour tickets for Thursday, so we'll be back!
- And the Fall. The Fall went like this-- we were walking out and I slipped on something and fell forward. Skinned my left knee and my right arm/wrist seems rather ginger. I can type so maybe it's not so bad? But it also feels super awkward to do normal things, like eat crisps. What the heck? Hopefully I didn't do too much damage. I was able to walk around so whew! Not sure what's going to happen with the arm. I think it's a little swollen. Alas.
- We walked with a protest (now that's something I've NEVER done) before passing through the Temple Bar area. We didn't stop in anywhere there though we did move for the livecam so I could record my screen as evidence that we were there. We crossed the Ha'penny Bridge to visit north of the River Liffey.
- The Lotts Cafe Bar - We were hungry and I went for the Smoked Salmon & Poached Eggs. SO GOOD. The place was nice and perhaps slightly fancy, which was fine. The food was good and I had my day's Guinness there.
- We walked around and actually checked out a mall. Since it's Saturday, it was busy and it felt like Christmas time in an American mall (back in the day). We also walked into a Filipino place called Filipino Bakery and Cafe. I know, right? I wish I had been hungry enough to try something. It smelled good in there and the workers all looked Filipino and I heard the language spoken.
- Our next stop was O'Riordans. We had drinks while watching Ireland play Belgium in soccer. It ended in a tie. But it was a nice spot to watch the match.
- We had more drinks at Cassidy's (sitting in the same spot as our first time in), then headed to Tesco to get some snacks for the room. A nice full day!

Today we took the Rural Pub Tour and it was great! We walked to Dublin Castle to meet the tour and then we went into the Dublin countryside. We checked out three pubs and they were all pretty cool. Our guide Shane was great. He gave us great historical bits and on the way back to Dublin, we sang songs to pass the time. Good times!
- The Merry Ploughboy - Our first stop! I had the Sullivans Irish Ale (red). It was good! The vibe of the place was very homey/comfy. We were only there for an hour but I enjoyed that hour there.
- Johnnie Fox's - Our second and longest stop! I had the Bulmers Cider to go with my Beef and Guinness Pie. DELICIOUS!
- The Blue Light - And the last stop. We drank our pints outside and it was quite brisk! The view was lovely though so it wasn't a big deal sitting out in that cool breeze.
Tomorrow is our tour to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway. A nice long day. Should be fun!

Monday - 25 March
Our day started early! We woke up at 4:30 AM to get to St. Stephens Green North by 6:45 AM. This was our first tour with Paddywagon Tours to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway from Dublin. The drive was long but it gave us all a chance to nap since it was so early.
- Galway - The weather was cold and a bit rainy but we didn't mind. We had a quick bite at McDonalds (I know, I know) then headed to the Claddagh Jewellers store. Of course I had to get a Claddagh ring for myself. An actual Claddagh from Ireland!
- Cliffs of Moher - It was a long and twisty drive to the cliffs but lo, it was worth it. Such a beautiful spot! It was cold and windy but clear enough see the cliffs. We only walked the one side but it was enough. I'm so glad that we were able to see it and feel it. We hit the gift shop while we were there and we did buy some items.
- We had lunch at Frantic Chefs which was just the right amount of food and time to rest up for the long drive back to Dublin. I slept a lot on the way back but did wake up to take some shots from the drive of the setting sun.
- Tapped - We had drinks and dinner. I almost forgot to have my daily Guinness but luckily remembered near the end of my first drink. Whew! I had a chicken Caesar salad, which hit the spot.

Guinness Storehouse
- Our taxi driver asked why we were going to that tourist trap! All in good fun (but so true too). Yes, we took a taxi there. Probably should have taken a taxi back too because, whew, we got in a lot of steps today!
- The Guinness Storehouse is massive! We had a 12 PM ticket, along with the Stoutie, which we just had to do! It was all very fascinating but I think we're just happy to have gotten to it, since we drink Guinness and we had to learn more about it.
- The Gravity Bar is neat-oh but alas, we weren't able to get a seat. Still, even standing it's pretty impressive to see Dublin in such a way.

The rest of the day went like so...
- We finally had our boxty! I had the Gaelic Boxty (oops, it was plus 9 euro), which was DELICIOUS. The service was amazing. Everyone should go to Gallagher's Boxty House. Such a treat!
- The Temple Bar - You know we had to do this. Lord, that bar is full and loud yet we got a couple of good seats and were able to enjoy some live music. Loud and busy vibe for sure. If you must do it, do it, right? We also found ourselves on the livecam and I recorded us while we were there. Because of course.
- After the Temple Bar, we walked the long walk and ended up at Sinnotts Bar for a pint. It was a good resting place. I had a Heineken 0.0 because I realized while drinking my Baileys coffee at the Temple Bar that I need to pace myself on the alcohol. Ye gods.
- A quick stop to the Circle K and the Rolling Donut and we were back to our room to rest.
We have a day tour tomorrow so must rest for that now...

Today's bus tour took us to Kilkenny and Wicklow!
- We went to County Wicklow first, to the Glendalough Valley. This involved a lot of walking-- 3 miles for us! But it was lovely and beautiful and the weather changed at least three times while we were walking. I tell ya, this Irish weather is full of surprises! We saw a rainbow while we were walking. I feel like it means something to see a rainbow in Ireland.
- In Kilkenny, we visited the Kilkenny Castle. My first time in a castle! It was very cool and I was most impressed with the Picture Gallery Wing. I felt like I was walking into a room from a Jane Austen novel. It was amazing.
- We had a snacky lunch at the bar in the Kilkenny Hibernian. A kindly gentleman chatted us up when we were just leaving. He was so lovely. He said he lived just down the road, so he was a local.
- The drive back to Dublin was uneventful and after getting dropped off, we went to the Bleeding Horse for drinks and dinner. I had pork belly and it was so good! A lovely young woman started singing behind us and she was pretty good! (I'm pretty sure it's Brí. Giving her a follow.)
We've been here a week! It's nice being away from work for sure. And I love that we're in Ireland.

Thursday - 28 March
Today was an easy day. We had one thing to do-- Trinity College Dublin and the Book of Kells experience. And lo, it was an experience. (Oh, and the spot of my fall? It had a cone citing under maintenance. So maybe I wasn't the first or the last to trip and fall?)
- The Book of Kells experience was cool. I loved going through the Long Room. It wasn't as crowded as I've seen in videos and doing the self-guided tour kept it at our own pace. Very much enjoyed it!
- We had lunch and drinks at The Brazen Head. Bangers and mash, finally. And it was so good! The people seated around us that I could hear all had American accents until some Spainards, I think, were later seated. So, tourist trap? Worth it! The food was good.
- Our last stop was Darkey Kelly's! I had a cider then a Bailey's coffee. Both yummy. Another pub with a definite vibe. We sat at the bar and just chilled. The best!
We have one more full day of Ireland. We're set to hit Jameson tomorrow then some shopping. It should be another easy day. I love being here but I'm also ready to be home once more.

The Tuskegee Airmen were a group of African-American and Caribbean-born military pilots who fought in WWII. They formed the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the Army Air Forces. The name applies to the navigators, bombardiers, mechanics, instructors, crew chiefs, nurses, cooks, and other support personnel.
All African American military pilots who trained in the US trained at Moton Field, the Tuskegee Army Air Field, and were educated at Tuskegee University. The group included five Haitians from the Haitian Air Force and one pilot from Trinidad. It included a Hispanic or Latino airman born in the Dominican Republic.
March 22, 1942 - The first five cadets graduate from the Tuskegee Flying School: Captain Benjamin O. Davis, Jr. and Second Lieutenants Mac Ross,
Charles DeBow, L.R. Curtis, and George S. Roberts. They will become part of my the famous 99th Pursuit Squadron. List of Tuskegge Airmen.
