James McAvoy says ‘Band of Brothers’ co-star recruited fellow actors to bully him on set

James McAvoy is getting candid about what it was like filming " Band of Brothers ," and why it wasn't his best experience on a set.

During a recent appearance on " Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen ," the actor was asked to rate his experience working on different projects, and when shown a picture of the show's cast, he said he was bullied during filming.

"On my first day on set, there was a ton of actors," he began.

"It was one of those scenes with everybody in it, and we’re all at a bar, and I had a scene.

And all these guys were in it for nine months, 10 months, and they get one line in one episode, and one line 10 episodes later.

They were all pissed.

I come in for one episode, and I’ve got an arc and scenes.

I’ve got tons of lines." When the photo, which featured many of his co-stars from the show, flashed on the screen, McAvoy got up to get a closer look, confirming that a specific actor was in the photo.

"He got him and his buddies to just stand pointing at me and laugh at me for like three minutes." While he didn't name names, the photo featured Donnie Wahlberg, Kirk Acevedo, Scott Grimes, Neal McDonough , Adam James, Frank John Hughes, Phillip Barantini and Ross McCall.

The "X-Men: First Class" star added that not everyone on set participated in the bullying, saying Dexter Fletcher and Robin Laing "took me aside, and they were like, ‘Come hang with us, man.'"
