"No matter what medals they got, 'hero' doesn't enter into the vocabulary for them," says Jesse Bradford about the soldiers who became famous raising the flag over Iwo Jima during World War II. While discussing "Flags of Our Fathers" in our video interview, Jesse describes his own character, Rene (pronounced "Rainy") Gagnon, as, admittedly, flawed. "One of the reasons he joined the Marines was because he thought the uniform was so snappy," he chuckles, but adds: "He was a guy who was willing to step up. He's the only one willing to admit that his survivor's remorse is eclipsed by his thankfulness that he has made it through. Not to mention that he's been put up for public consumption to the point where be became an overnight superstar. He makes missteps, but I'd say that they were ones we might all make under similarly fantastic circumstances."
