Absolutely, he's been great. Easily the most engaging character of the 3 they're focusing on. I didn't think I'd ever seen this actor before, but just caught The Departed on TV and realized he was in it (the guy who shot Leo DiCaprio).

Yeah I agree, I was more looking forward to seeing Jon Seda and Joe Mazzello as I was famaliar with their work and I didn't know who this guy was, them two are both excellent but Badge Dale really steals the show.

And yeah he was in The Departed, didn't realize it was him until I looked him up on here after I saw him in The Pacific.

Badge Dale can play the romantic, the confused, the smart-azz, the thoughtful, the killer and the clown. Unbelievable range. I'm reading Leckie's book now, "Helmet for My Pillow". Awesome. Simply Awesome.

Be sure to pick up Eugene Sledge's "With the Old Breed". It too is mind-blowing. They all are dying off right now because of old age but to read their writings as young men in war and in love is simply awesome.

They made our country great. Unfortunately, we are screwing it up.
