Tom Hanks has taken “full responsibility” for the harsh way he allegedly fired Conor Ratliff from “Band of Brothers.”and retold the story of being cast on the HBO miniseries and subsequently fired for having “dead eyes.”“This was without a doubt the act of the director, and that was me,” Hanks told Ratliff. “There was something in stuck in a craw or one of those very, very subtle sort of decisions that aims the story in the direction you want it to go.
“In the inner sanctum of whatever this casting session was on Band of Brothers … I’m sure I said, ‘I don’t know man, that guy’s got dead eyes.’ I could’ve said, ‘He’s got too blond of hair; he’s too tall and I can’t have the aide be taller than Captain Winters.’ I could’ve said, ‘He’s too short and slight … I could’ve said any of these things, and they would have been true and they would’ve been the opinion,'” he added.
Two decades later, Radcliff began a podcast exploring casting and rejection in the entertainment industry. Hanks called the story “just bone-chilling,” and went on to take “full responsibility” for his actions.He also admitted to being “aghast” after finding out the podcast’s genesis from his son Colin and daughter Elizabeth.
“I actually got chilled. My heart rate skyrocketed and I said, ‘I did…I did what? I did what?'” he confessed.
