Plus the writer of episode 9 mentioned that the scene were Nixon enters a house and meets a german woman actually happened to Winters but when the writer mentioned he wanted it in Nixon’s perspective, Winters was very happy with that idea because he wanted Nixon to get credit(screen time?)

He is known for his portrayal of Lieutenant Lynn 'Buck' Compton in the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers (2001), Deputy District Attorney David McNorris on Boomtown (20022003), Tin Man in the Sci Fi Channel miniseries Tin Man, and a main cast role as Dave Williams in Season 5 of Desperate Housewives (20082009).
