Tom Hanks actually fired an actor from Band of Brothers just before filming because he thought the guy had “dead eyes” in his audition! The actor, Connor Ratliff, had already been cast and was ready to go, but Hanks made him re-audition and then replaced him. Years later, Ratliff turned the whole ordeal into a hit podcast, and even confronted Hanks about it! Wild how one offhand comment can change a career—and spark a fandom debate about casting power. #Entertainment #Movies #TomHanks
