...was filmed in almost its entirety within a few-hundred yards of the house where I grew up. In the scene where the girl changes clothes in the telephone box, my mum can be seen in the background. When I got home from school that day, she told me there'd been some filing going on at the 'phone box and 'a man with a megaphone kept telling me to get out of the way.'

Lots of my spoolboy friends appear in the film and there are many scenes with 'impossible elements' - cast walking off up a dead-end; cuts in the middle of a conversation where the cast suddenly appear at an entirely different part of town, that kind of thing.

My brother does a bit of extra work; and is the shifty looking bearded smoking behatted guy who is taking bets for Robert Downey Jr's fistfight in Sherlock Holmes. When the fight's over, Downey goes right up to him and takes his money.

I was in the Ball room scene. Best bit about it: goofing around in Sandhurst - which was filling in for an US army academy - much to various Sargent-Majors' frustration.

...Rude Boy & Don Letts' Punk Rock Movie. You have to have the right sort of eyes though...

I can be spotted dancing at 18" in the trailer to East Is East. I'm the one on the left with the long hair.

played the part of a visitor to a jazz mag bookstore in The Clash's film Rude Boy. He even got a credit on the posters! He wasn't an actor but was involved with the production company that made it and hence got the gig. He also worked as a cameraman on So It Goes and once sat in the back of a jeep with His Excellency President for Life Field Marshal Al Hadji Dr Idi Amin, VC, DSO, MC, Member of the Excellent Order of the Source of the Nile, Lord of all the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular.

My mum's cousin, Terry Plummer, was an extra. He looks like the third Kray twin and so was always the "heavy" in stacks of films and TV shows. He always ended up getting shot or beaten up and told people that you'd recognise him in more stuff if you watched the telly sideways.

I've just checked on IMDB. He's been in loads. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0687658/

My brother appeared as a policeman in a crowd scene and, more impressively, was picked out to be Rhys Ifans stand-in (same height), which meant he got to stand next to Samuel Jackson all day. His highlight was Jackson opening a door for him, which at the time sounded quite impressive but as I type now sounds merely polite.

My brother-in-law Nick is the one eating bread at about 1m 4secs into this clip:

They filmed it all near where he lives in Bordon. It's where they filmed a lot of the Russell Crowe version of Robin Hood as well. I believe its called Woolmer forest?

I was working on the Greek island where it was filmed and can be seen in the background of several shots, freezing my nuts off in swimming trunks pretending it's August when it was in fact November.
