A work friend of mine was in the the Amy Adams/Matthew Goode film 'Leap Year'. (We have running joke about it, without exchanging words. He's also in the official trailer). Physical humour, eh? :pac: Oh, he's an extra in The Tudors.

Personally, I'm so sad that my telly thing was on a UTV news report about unemployment in the Irish Republic, in the early 90s (on O'Connell Street). I didn't even see it. I was told by a fellow student when I was a student too. And I was only spotted because of height.

Badly Drunk Boy · 11-08-2018 7:27pm

Even though it was filmed a mile or two away fro me, I didn't bother going for Braveheart.

Boogie nights was based on me

Andy From Sligo · 12-08-2018 5:44pm

I and my family have been on 6-one News - it was summer we were down at the seaside enjoying out 99 cones and an election was on - Michael Noonan was running for leader (and tea shop, whatever its called) and there's me and the family sat on a wall when we was approached by an RTE reporter "is it OK if we film you for the news?" - yeah why not we said - "OK I just want to get it as though Micheal Noonan is pretending to steal your son's Ice cream ... and 'Roll!" .... and the rest is history , we starred on six-one and 9 o'clock news

Samuel T. Cogley · 12-08-2018 6:01pm

liam7831 · 12-08-2018 6:06pm

I was on Talkabout with Alan Hughes

Andy From Sligo · 12-08-2018 6:24pm

My wife nearly had a walk on part in Fair City her friend (at the time) knew someone on the production team and were looking for extra's .. but she and her friend fell out .. or lost touch or something and never did get to go on there ...

JupiterKid · 13-08-2018 11:26pm

Lets see - I was briefly in JoMaxi (any boardsies old enough to remember that show?:o) as a 14 year old as part of a group of secondary school pupils asked our opinions on modern buildings in Dublin.

My 19 year old mug very very briefly features on an episode of John Creedon's The Road Less Travelled as he flashes back to footage of Feile 1994. An old mate saw it and notified me!

and...that's it. I have had my name in the newspapers quite a few times - for the right reasons (my research).

wexie · 13-08-2018 11:36pm

Episode of Househunters (wouldn't recommend it, they did nothing for us and yer one is a bitch, Dermot actually quite a nice chap) and a few episodes of Vikings that I may or may not have been in. (Would definitely recommend being an extra for Vikings, even just for the experience. Having a big shaggy beard helps)

Andy From Sligo · 13-08-2018 11:37pm

wife has been on that afternoon show on RTE with daithi o shea and Maura and got the makeover too

very down to earth apparently .. and so funny off air she said joking about with each other and the crew. they were all taking the mick out of the make up bloke , but he was loving it and joining in - its good when they all get on like that.

my mum went in TV audience years ago for a UK show and the main presenter was like a diva "get me this and get me that" and was shouting and miserable so and so she said - and then the floor manager said "rolling!" and the presenter put a massive smile on her face and said in a pleasant voice "welcome back to the show"

An Ri rua · 14-08-2018 12:32am

I starred in a Prayer at Bedtime at Valentine's and used to have young ones pointing me out on the bus to college. Never got any action from it though. Holy vibe.
Oh and I starred as the love interest on a John Hogan video.

Heady wild days folks

griffin100 · 14-08-2018 8:26am

Was interviewed for the RTE 6 o’clock news by Samantha Librei once for a work thing.

An ex girlfriend appeared in a (non porn) film as ‘busty nurse no. 1’. Oh how I miss hers

Reminds of a time watching that show. It came to the end and Ray Darcy commiserates with the losers 'hard luck, it was a nail-biting finish' - camera pans to the 3 lads and they all chewing on their nails

laugh · 14-08-2018 8:40am

You remember Blackboard Jungle? The schools quiz on RTE?

Well that was replaced by a very short lived disaster called Gridlock. presented by Derek Mooney.

During filming I spotted I could double Gridlock the other two teams, I said Double Gridlock Green & Blue etc, problem was we were Green, in front of the the school principal and my year head with the camera rolling I shouted "Aww fuck I meant red"

A friend got tickets for the Late Late show 5 years ago so was up near the front in the audience. Guests were sh1t that night:(. Myself and my daughter were in the background on some TG4 show when they filmed something in our town. I was interviewed on the radio for the work with the organisation I was involved with at the time

rathfarnhamlad · 14-05-2022 12:47am

I wasn't on TV or in a film myself, but sometime around 1993 I was stuck in a traffic jam somewhere in LA,

Turns out the reason for the traffic jam was because of a movie set,

All I remember was there was a chap with a crew-cut & 60's glasses carrying a rocket launcher,

I think the film was called "Under Construction".

sam t smith · 14-05-2022 12:52am

I saw myself in the crowd of an F1 GP I was at years ago wearing a Jordan tshirt, the one with the hornet logo and black triangles.

(I watched a recording of the GP afterwards.)

Donald Trump · 15-05-2022 8:16am

I got far better ratings than Arnie did

Have you ever starred in a TV show or movie etc..
