Andrew Scott Praises Role as D-Day Meteorologist in WW2 Thriller

Andrew Scott has said playing James Stagg, the meteorologist whose forecasts were pivotal to the success of the D‑Day invasion, was a wonderful experience. Stagg, often described as “chilly,” provided the weather intelligence that allowed Allied planners to choose the optimal launch window for the Normandy landings. The actor appears in a new World War II thriller that dramatizes the behind‑the‑scenes efforts that made the operation possible. Scott’s comments underscore the film’s focus on the critical, yet frequently unheralded, roles that support large‑scale military operations.
