Jim Morrice is a wonderful man and musician. He's played many instruments since the '60's but never recorded an album.
Given a few months to live at the start of lockdown, he decided it was time...
Please RT, listen and, if you can, buy his Magnum Opus! ❤

It's appropriate, on what would have been his 100th birthday, that I'm in Bastogne, thinking about Babe. Playing him in #BandofBrothers, being entrusted with telling his story is still one of the greatest privileges of my life. Indeed, it changed my life.
Happy birthday, Babe!

What a guy. Incredible men, every one.
Easy Company's Babe Heffron's cameo in episode 4, Replacements, in #BandofBrothers
He portrays a Dutchman celebrating in Eindhoven after U.S troops arrived + the Germans retreated.
Almost 60 yrs previous to filming, Babe would've been in the city as one of those U.S soldiers

Special thanks to Ross for dreaming up the whole mad idea!
The people of Airdrie are very lucky!
Thanks to everyone who came along to the show tonight with Robin Laing. Robin was a great guest and in my opinion he's one of the best actors in the country. I'm sure I speak for everyone who was at the show tonight when I say we wish him all the best with his future projects.

Tried a new recipe for pasta-pesto tonight:
- make pizza dough, let rise for one hour
- divide dough into four balls and stretch by hand
- cook base in hot pan, add toppings, then finish under grill
- make your own pizza last
- drop it face-down on carpet
- make pasta-pesto...

Adapted by Harry Gibson, it was directed by him & @nmccplaywright, who patiently guided me through.
