Michael Fassbender’s Band Of Brothers Character Wasn’t The Breakout Role You’d Think (That Came 7 Years Later)

Michael Fassbender is now a globally recognized Hollywood star with multiple blockbuster credits to his name, but his role on Band of Brothers for HBO was not the vehicle that launched his super-stardom. It was several years later that Fassbender broke through into leading roles that offered him opportunities for star power and the chance to display his acting abilities. While the HBO series was a strong resume builder, and he’s one of a number of actors who went from Band of Brothers to movie stardom, another project more fully propelled his career.
