Why David Schwimmer’s Band Of Brothers Character Is Secretly So Controversial

David Schwimmer’s character in Band of Brothers has come under scrutiny in recent years, and even been embroiled in a fair amount of controversy. Based on the book of the same name written by Stephen E. Ambrose, the series followed the exploits of Easy Company during WWII, who were prepped and trained in the United States by Schwimmer’s Captain Sorbel. Produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, the popular and gritty mini-series was known for its attention to detail and authenticity when it came to recreating wartime conflicts and the interpersonal relationships between the soldiers in the unit.
