As a five year old I was interviewed for RTE by a man dressed as a piece of seaweed at the Galway Arts festival years ago.

Incidentally my job is to decide who goes on the TV. The best looking/funniest usually win out.

Yes.

I went to school where Glenroe was filmed and was filmed loads of times as an extra walking down the road. Never got any money for though:(

Great fun though every week tuning in to see if I made the cut:)

I was in a tourism DVD for Jesery, i was over there working and on my day off 4 of us were sitting out side a pub enjoying the good weather when a film crew came up to us. At the end of it they took our details and said they would send us on a copy of the DVD, they send a mate a copy, he texted me when he got it, but at that stage i was back home and never seen the DVD or that mate since.

I was a contestant on the kids tv show the works back in the early 90s

Duggy747 · 12-03-2012 10:28AM

Bunch of French guys came into our pub for a few weekends. They were sent by a french TV channel to make a documentary on Irish life and essentially just recorded me and my mates for that time.

I think I'm glad I never saw that documentary.....

Dravokivich · 12-03-2012 10:54AM

Was on TV once as a kid in the crowd at Goffs for the snooker, then ore recently in RDS at a Leinster match after Isa got a penalty. Could hear me roaring over the crowd as well. :cool:

Blackboard Jungle.

Me : camera as cat : mirror.

Also gave Ray a bollicking when he was doing handshakes at the end after we got knocked out because of the ridiculously easy questions the other side got.

72 / x = 9 what is x?

Seriously. Three point question. We lost by 1.

In a documentary about the Gaeltacht in Ranafast, and standing there on the news like an eejit when Billy Clinton came to Dundalk. Both aired on the same night incidentally.

An extra in Braveheart and Saving Private Ryan. Can be clearly seen in both. The guy that bared his arse to the English troops in Scotland I know well. Local guy from Sallins. I'd have liked that gig.

Asked comedian/actor Niall Toibin a question on an RTE gaeilge show years ago.
He was going back to the school and telling anecdotes about his time there.

The question I was to ask was "Did you ever take part in any amateur dramatics during your time in school". - nó - an raibh tú pairteach sna dramaí a bhí ar súil sna scoil seo?

The crew only had one camera. So they took a shot of me asking the question.

Then they turned the camera to Toibin to give the answer, taking a few minutes, then the director (poet Michael Davitt) asked me to ask the question again with the camera trained on Niall.

He comes back with "I believe I've already been asked that question?" :rolleyes: - "Is doigh liom go bhfuil on ceist sin curtha agam cheana fein?

In fairness to Michael Davitt he explained the one camera set up but Toibin just shrugged his shoulders.

Arrogance thy name is Toibin.
