You probably recognise me from films such as The Fifth Element, Evita, Gladiator, Star Wars 1 & 2 (sorry, but I'M the reason they're a bit crap), Sexy Beast, Tomorrow Never Dies, Notting Hill, Entrapment etc. I know you can NEVER tell that I'm in them and that I might as well be lying but it's all the gold truth.

NO FUCKING WAY!!!!!!!
Dino, I WAS one of those Extras!!!!! I played a leper that ran into a big mansion (in real life, one of George Harrison's) ready to tear the place down, and later I was a dockyard worker when the actors were first getting on a boat to go to find this Mummy or whatever (filmed in Chatham docks).
I couldn't have been THAT bad to have myself CGI'd over by a fucking locust could I?

I just love the part where everybody thinks Superman is dead and they all start picking up sticks and shit. The "yeah man I know some judo"-line gets me everytime.

One of my friends was an extra in The Postman as a guard, but he said you could only see him on the letter box edition.

Freezing! I did get to have a quick 'how you doing?' greeting to Woody Harrelson though, and hang out with Director Paul Schrader, swear that Kristen Scott Thomas was smiling at me in the corwd and no one else, and gaze in sheer respect and 'puzzlement' at Lauren Bacall.
Eh? ITV have pushed the boat out for Prime Suspect a bit haven't they?
A movie called 'The Walker' directed by Paul Schrader. Willem Dafoe's in it too.
Holly crappa! Now I'm impressed, Kirk mate! Hey whats the procedure for an Extra an actor/director? Do you casually talk to eachother? Do the actors ignore the extras? You know, if he wasn't totally sick of it, and likely to sack you, I would recommend you just go up to Shrader and talk about his work. Are you at least tempted? I'm not sure I would it, but he wrote Mosquito Coast for cryin out loud, with one of your favourite directors, and with one of your favourite actors... (once apon a time at least)
(if you can be arsed to reply, might aswell do it on your Extras thread I guess. I think the threadjack should be amputated about here)

Well, it reminded me out of the blue of your Brush With Greatness story, and then I knew right there, I was just going to end up being dissapointed, because no matter how good the episode was going to be, it just wouldn't have a confrontation with you and James Woods in it.
