The actor who soft-pedaled it was Tom Berringer as Longstreet. I've read accounts that indicate that Longstreet was very visibly upset with the order to attack the Union center on July 3. Berringer didn't show that.

Actually, I thought Tom Berenger did a pretty good job. His beard looked pretty fake, though. At the part when Pickett was asking for permission to begin the charge, Longstreet could only nod, he couldn't bring himself to say anything. I thought that showed how upset he was.

True enough. I thought Berrenger was okay, there was just this one incident. In the one book I read, one of the people present said something like, "It looked to me as if the only person General Longstreet wanted to fight was General Lee."
