13 Oct
Summary
- McAvoy was bullied by a co-star during his first acting job.
- The incident occurred on the set of the 2001 mini-series Band of Brothers.
- The bullying stemmed from McAvoy having more lines than a regular actor.

Actor James McAvoy has disclosed a difficult experience from the very beginning of his professional acting career. While appearing on "Watch What Happens Live" on October 12, McAvoy recounted being subjected to bullying by a co-star during his first job.
The role in question was a guest appearance on the 2001 mini-series "Band of Brothers." McAvoy, who was a newcomer at the time, had a specific arc and numerous lines for his single episode.
This made him a target for a seasoned actor on the show. McAvoy explained that his significant amount of dialogue for a temporary role upset a regular cast member, leading to the negative on-set experience.
