Noel Fisher, famous for his role in "Shameless," has moved on to a very different role. In National Geographic's "The Long Road Home," He plays Pfc. Tomas Young, a 24-year-old soldier severely wounded in battle. Young died in 2014, and Noel talks about the pressure of ensuring he does the real Tomas Young justice in his portrayal. He says he watched a documentary about Tomas called "Body of War" to prepare for the role, as well as having conversations with Tomas' family. Based on Martha Raddatz's bestseller of the same name, the series chronicles the events of April 4th, 2004, when a platoon was ambushed in Sadr City, Baghdad, in an attack that came to be known as "Black Sunday.” "The Long Road Home" is currently airing Tuesday at 10/9c on National Geographic Channel. It also stars Michael Kelly, Kate Bosworth, and Jason Ritter.
