    It's not something I boast about, but I have had a few gigs as body stunt doubles in the movies. Some of the skills that you pick up are quite amazing. I was in a major piccie based on a white water expedition up in the wilds of America. I can still do the piggie squeal, but the sound of a banjo still sends me into a state of catatonic shock.

      I was an extra in a TV murder mystery, in a posh 20's cafe where the denouement was played out. The butler done it, played by Max Wall not long before he died. I had a a line or two, but they were edited out.

          I, along with several hundred of my schoolmates, was an extra in the film Royal Flash, spending a Sunday listening to Malcom McDowell making the same speech to us over and over again.

          The official story was that the producers reckoned our school's Great Hall looked more like people's idea of Rugby School than Rugby itself did. I reckon they just charged a lower location fee than Rugby would have

          Oh, and a few years ago I was one of my brother's phone-a-friends when he was on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? - he ended up phoning my sister instead though. Good thing really, as her answer won him the £250,000 he eventually walked away with

              I was on a quiz show twice.

              And when I was little I was on national TV in America, after we were evacuated during a hurricane and they were filming the evacuees at the place we were staying the night. I was asleep in an inflatable boat (no-where to sleep but the floor, and we had them in the car).

                Nothing to do with my being a "standard celtic supporter". My disdain for them stems back to when I served in the Army alongside them in Cyprus. Bunch of mindless numpties for the most part. But if the sight of a maroon beret gives you a little stiffy, don't let me spoil your fun.

                  It depends who's wearing it... Audrey Tattou for instance.

                    I once appeared in an identity parade for the police. Got paid £4.50 for it.

                      killers.

                      They aren't trained to think, just kill. Shame really.

                      I was on Channel4 news once, talking about teenagers and computers. Didn't have much to say...

                      Also, this actress goes to my gym. She's quite hot.
