I seem to remember that before they began shooting Saving Private Ryan they put Tom Hanks, Barry Pepper, and all the rest of the actors in the squad through a two week boot-camp-like deal where they were living in the mud, sleeping in the rain, eating bad food, and going through all the stuff soldiers in France were forced to go through.

Yep, and the great Dale Dye was the one who was in charge of that boot camp. Dye was also the one who played Colonel Sink in BoB.

He was also in Saving Private Ryan as one of Marshall's staff officers in the scene where they decide to go find the surviving brother. Great movie, even if some parts were a bit far featched.

Fantastic mini-series. Have seen in about 4 times. Dye also put the men through the paces for the movie "The Greatest Raid."
