Shapiro was was noted for his bright red full beard. His nickname derives from turning into a "Wildman" when engaged in battle. Shapiro became one of the most accomplished and recognizable members of Easy Company second only to unit commander Sgt. Rock. At one point, Danny Andrews, one of Shapiro's former students, joined Easy as a replacement. Shapiro taught Danny, who saved Wildman after the latter was temporarily paralyzed in a German assault.[1]
