SEBASTIAN STAN BIOGRAPHY: ‘LAST FULL MEASURE’ INTERVIEW

In The Last Full Measure, Stan portrays Scott Huffman, an up-and-coming investigator in the Pentagon who uncovers a conspiracy when investigating why real-life Vietnam War hero William Pitsenbarger was not awarded with a Medal of Honor for his service.

In an exclusive chat with uInterview, Stan revealed that while the story is true, his character, Huffman, was based on various people that director Todd Robinson had interviewed during his research process.
