Other details were changed completely: despite his death in Band of Brothers, real-life Private Blithe survived until 1967. Another change was the depiction of Sergeant Grant surviving being shot in the head (both in real life and in the miniseries).

Many of these are simply additional details about the lives of the surviving soldiers, or small liberties taken to increase the dramatic tension for the series.

Stephen Graham (Myron Ranney) is a stalwart of British TV and starred in Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tidesfor instance, and many of the actors - largely British - turned up in British shows for years. And among the supporting roles are actors who have gone on to impressive bodies of work.
