I`m fortunate enough to live in North Wales where loads of films are made so I`ve worked on a few.

Boat Crew - "First Knight"
"The Last Train" TV Series
"Merlin" TV Series

Extra/Stand In
"First Knight"
"Willow"
"Mortal Kombat" TV Series

It would be cool to find out what everyone else has been a part of, so leave your CV here!

While I was at school my class was asked to be extras for a parents evening scene being filmed at my school. For a grand fee of £5 i was presented to my surrogate mother with whom I sat down and chatted to while a short scene was filmed. The film - The Omen. Needless to say at the age of 12 I couldn`t go and see it at the time, which was just as well because the scene was cut. Hmmmmmmmm now with DVD extras maybe there is a chance of seeing my first acting (!!?) debut one day.

I was employed as a production runner on a film straight out of photography college some years back. I also found myself as an extra and stand-in for a few scenes (blink and you`ll miss it stuff). But my biggest claim to fame was that I did some of the stills photography and one of my pics ended up on the cover of the `book of the film`.

I`m not gonna say what the film is cos it was dire and it sank without trace - filled as it was with B list celebs.

The real bitch is that it was a deferred payment film - you only got paid if the film made money, which it didn`t. Ten years down the line I`m still owed 2 1/2 grand!

Amusingly, my name can now be found on the IMDB database!
