Noel Fisher Honors the Memory of Tomas Young on "The Long Road Home"
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.
