taylor co-starred in the british-american miniseries "band of brothers" as the louisianan medic eugene roe. though a relatively minor character in the series, the sixth installment "bastogne" is set from roe's perspective and features him as the episode's central protagonist, as he struggles to help the men while they endure frigid conditions, low supplies, and constant enemy fire. taylor's performance was praised as "a marvel of economy" by "the a.v. club", and stated "watch how little he moves or speaks, unless he absolutely needs to... he’s exactly the right man for this part and for the way that roe’s long slog through this siege begins to feel like an unending nightmare".
