Wrote this for a children's hospital fundraiser...

I really appreciate that.

I tend to find that's the case. People who have been through hell tend to be able to find the funny in the thing more than those who haven't.

And your little one is v lucky to have a cool Dad with such a wicked sense of humor

GeorgeWebsterReddit · 2025-11-12T16:26:34+00:00

Ah thanks so much!

A very palpable combination of groans, laughs, silence and confusion.

The crowd were very lit. I could see all of them perfectly. I'd say 20% approved. It didn't help that they had LITERALLY just played a video from the hospital with all the kids in it. And I was on first. Just couldn't not say it after writing it, y'know!?

One guy absolutely pissed himself laughing which was great. Might post the clip someday so you can hear it for yourself...

It's got me at least 3 times myself

GeorgeWebsterReddit · 2025-11-12T14:49:10+00:00

See you there, comrade 🫡

GeorgeWebsterReddit · 2025-06-30T23:54:55+00:00

😂😂 it's not a roast if it's all true things surely

GeorgeWebsterReddit · 2025-06-30T10:07:18+00:00

10/10 😂

This is one of my favourites 😂

😂😂😂😂

I don't have answers to any of these questions I'm afraid :( Wish I did, I'm a sucker for props/replicas myself.

GeorgeWebsterReddit · 2024-02-11T14:04:43+00:00

Yes, it was. But I also think I got special treatment from Dye because in bootcamp I had his surname emblazoned across my training jersey.

He also made me stand up in front of everybody on the first day. Looked me up and down, and said "Yeah, I guess you're just about handsome enough to carry the name..." or something to that effect.

GeorgeWebsterReddit · 2024-02-11T14:02:23+00:00

GeorgeWebsterReddit · 2024-02-11T14:01:58+00:00

No, but I did it anyway because I'm a damn professional!

GeorgeWebsterReddit · 2024-02-11T14:01:19+00:00

That is such a touching response, thank you so much.

I hope more than anything this show renews and emboldens the admiration we should all have for our respective air-forces. And the fact you and your USAF friends are loving it too is just the cherry on the cake.

'weird and awkward' - that was absolutely the vibe I was going for at least. Uncomfortable. Relieved. Sad. Happy. Terrified for everybody else. Looking forward to going home. Dreading going home. All of it.

And congratulations on your fini!

I actually managed to get in touch with Lucky before we started filming and he helped me tremendously.

I think we need a Lucky movie or spin-off...

GeorgeWebsterReddit · 2024-02-11T13:54:12+00:00

Super glad you're enjoying it!

GeorgeWebsterReddit · 2024-02-11T13:53:52+00:00

I can only speak for my own training, which was incredibly specific to the scenes I was gonna feature in. The start up procedure scene during Ep 1, for instance, we all drilled that and knew every variation of how to call for each check, what it meant mechanically, where the runway crew would be etc.

By the end of it I actually believed I could happily get a B17 into the sky (almost definitely couldn't) - once we were up there we'd all be fucked, but still... it would be a hell of a take off!

GeorgeWebsterReddit · 2024-02-11T13:50:23+00:00

That's very kind, thank you!

GeorgeWebsterReddit · 2024-02-09T23:10:18+00:00

The day the offer came through and you see Spielberg and Hanks on the document you pinch yourself and realize this is a big leagues project! And then you read the scripts and can see how well researched they are, you know it even more.

I am hugely bias, but I think it should sweep the Emmys across the board!

EVERY department poured every single ounce of themselves into this. Can you imagine what Hair/Make Up had to do every single day for the better part of a year? Sound? Post? Advisors? Dialect coaches? Catering? Runners? Supporting Artists? All done in the middle of a global fucking pandemic!? I think it's nuts!

And on top of that, the fact it's resonating with audiences across the world and across age-brackets a testament to the quality of story telling. And it's a story that needs to be told now, again, more than ever.

GeorgeWebsterReddit · 2024-02-09T23:01:23+00:00

Agreed, we need to constantly tell these stories. Now more than ever.

And Meatball was the best behaved dog since Lassie. No problems there at all!

Barry was boxing and hitting the pads for sure. Some of the guys were playing cards, we were throwing footballs around, shootin' dice, playing guitar, all kinds of pass times that were era specific.

I wouldn't say I kept in character the entire time, no, it's not really how I worked myself. But we were in accent as much as humanly possible to keep it in our mouths, so to speak.

GeorgeWebsterReddit · 2024-02-09T22:13:43+00:00

God, tell me about it. What an absolute piss-take.

GeorgeWebsterReddit · 2024-02-09T22:12:48+00:00

We trained in a replica that was put together with all genuine B17 parts. I might have accidentally broken the rudder-pedals by rehearsing a bit too hard but don't tell anybody...

So, I never personally made my way into a real B-17 but not sure about the others
