Child acting

I did a lot of extras work as a kid. I appeared in the background on such things as Grange Hill. I even had a speaking part in Noel's House Party. You may vaguely recall when Noel answered the door to be greeted by a child dressed in classic Chimney Sweep attire - that was me. I can't remember what I said but I do remember watching it back and for some reason I am looking above me to the left making me resemble Stevie Wonder.

When I became 16 and the law was more flexible I appeared, once again as an Extra, in 'Ewok Rape Zone'. You may again recall the gratuitous rape scene were the Ewoks capture one of the Storm Troopers that crash in those sky motorbike thingies (some geek to confirm actual name please), then bugger him senseless. I am one of the people in the background grimacing put still rhythmically clapping my hands.

My parents decided, after the sequel "Fur on Fur - the Ewok fuckmaster" that I should no longer persue this careerpath; strictly speaking, at 16, I was able to make my own decisions but my mind was already vulcan mind-melded into oblivion by the sights I has seen and I welcomed the opportunity to once again work on the family farm throttling Geese.
