Been in a film and you didn't know it?

[Space Prawn]

I read that a new Kevin Costner film is being made, called Taming Ben Taylor. I cannot stress how important this is to me, because that's my name.

Anyone else been victim to coincidence and name-checked in a film?

[spongmonkey]

No. You try making a film with Ben Magill in the title. Not exactly catchy.

I've been in a very special film with a certain person before, can you guess what it was (hint: My name is Tom Lee) :rolleyes:

'I' was in a film called Disney's Balloon Farm (1999) It was a American TV movie and I was played by Frederic Lane (Who?):eek:

[Chookmeister]

I, Damien O'Donnell, have been the director of the odd film, if that counts. I was pretty astounded when I first found out, since that won't be a common name. Seeing your own name in a trailer in the cinema gives you a weird feeling, unless you're called John Smith and are used to seeing your name on everything including pints of beer.

[Zweee]

my brothers been an extra in a few films, as has my dads cousin, he was in The Madness of King george.
Oh and my best friend was in that football film with the guy from the Royal family. Damn good money in it, my bro got 50 quid an hour :eek:

[Jez]

I was in a BBC Film called Romeo Brass...and no, that aint my name...mines worse...but it wasn't just me, our whole school was filmed for it so it aint that important...but i aint seen it so i don't know if it was used...

it was a bit crazy, we had to start singing 'the lord is my shepard' and then we had to get up and do loads of weird dancing...it was complete pance...so, alas, i wasnt exactly in a film, i was only an extra out of bout 500 kids, and it aint even a popular film, or blockbuster...oh well...but i have been on the news!

My step bros name appeared in the credits when i completed Croc on PSX though, Jason Smith...too common me thinks!
