    I was an extra in 'Ros na Run'.
    Best cup of tea and sandwich I ever earned.

    Same, I walked across Ros na Rún's "Tigh Thaidgh" while on work experience and got to sip tonic water.
    Ahh, my big break.

    A photo of me for the 'happy birthday' section of The Den.

    Also a quick flash of my face on an RTE feature about Educate Together schools.

    I was in a water safety advert when I was about 7 or 8 but it was just before boybands started cornering the market so I never saw it shown. Still remember my line though...ahem.... "Look, look there's a boat overturned in the water!".....still got it.

    It would never have beaten the "where's granddad?" one! :p

    I've been on TV twice as far as i can remember. Once on the Cafe answering "what am I going to do when i finish the Leaving Cert"

    The second one is probably slightly more interesting. I used to be in a community games "variety group" show for a few years with a certain brother and sister singing duo from Athlone.

    One year anyways we had a very strong show and the den were recording one of the songs we were doing. Off camera I was talking to the presenter about the show(cant think of her name, she was the main out and about presenter i think),

    I was one of the group's singers and I was pretty decent at the time, but I was under no illusion that Joe was the main attraction of the show (Donna was over -age at this stage) and I was saying as much to the presenter and she was like "no i think you're both very strong and you'll see every body will think so too". I was really happy with this anyways and we recorded the song.

    Watching it back the next day or whatever, The presenter introduced us and walked off the stage to the audiences left, the side of the stage that I was on, and the light man completed dimmed the lights on the left part of the stage, so much so I was barely reconisable.... ****ing bitch!

    Does anybody remember "The Big Breakfast" on Channel 4? Well I was on their Reading Festival 1997 show. Got interviewed by Denise Van Outen and all. However I didn't know it was happening until it happened so never got a chance to ring folk to video it. Tried to email the production company to see if I could get a copy of it years later but they had gone tits up.:(

    Met some nice people on it though. They had Chumbawamba on and they were tons of fun:cool:

    I was a 10 year old ,one of about 30 schoolboy extras in an irish film called ' a week in the life of Martin Cluxton ' and I managed to get copy on video when it was shown again on RTE about 10 years ago ( as far as I know the only footage of me as a kid ...all of 30 seconds ) .My pal got a speaking part in the film and he later went on to become a jockey ) .


    Applied for and got tickets for the late late show but never ended up going .


    I was also an extra several times in the soap Brookside and appeared on the local Granada tv when introduced to President McAleese when she came to Liverpool .We also had group photo published in Irish post shaken hands with the her

    Have popped up on the BBC few times when marching in London with other ex soldiers and officers of the Irish Defence forces / IUNVA on Remembrance Sunday .

    Got a couple of interviews on the radio, show up in passing on the TV news bulletins. In a couple of books (I've got a short chapter in "War Stories of the Tankers"), and got myself published in An Cosantoir. I am also on the front cover of the official US Army report on the Iraq war to 2005. All related to my Army position.

    Next appearance is in 'Hooligans at War', a documentary currently doing the film festival rounds (I'm in the trailer, online), and I'm trying to put together another article for An Cosantoir.

    NTM

    You were on tv because you have a DD cupsize AND a DH cupsize? Interesting breast arrangement and worthy of RTE filming I'm sure.

    I've been an extra loads of time on various TG4 stuff over the years. I also once sent a letter into News2Day pretending to be a fan of the show named Mike Hunt, hoping the female newsreader would read it out. She did. :cool:

    My mother was in the audiencec for the Late Late Show the night that your man verbally attacked Pat Kenny ("you're an insuffferable @&%$... etc etc)

    She said apart from that happening it was the most boring night of her life.

    I was in the audience for a filming of Colm & Jim Jim's Home Run. That was some bad sh1t. People were asking could they go out to the toilet and then not coming back. So then they stopped letting people go out :( Eventually we all escaped around midnight. That is a night I don't like thinking about. Goddamn you OP for this thread and bringing up this repressed painful memory.
