Hi folks
Its me again the goose bump man!!.I remember asking what had
happened to some of the actors in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and I
forgot to mention that I had worked on the a set with good old
Lionel who played the grandad in the film(Regal Company)P.O.S.H.
It was only in an film extra capacity but I would have loved to
have talked to him about the film because he seemed such a nice man.
Has anybody done any extra work because it can be good fun as long
as you dont pester the actors.I am in the actors union Equity and a
while ago T.V and Film companies were using non Equity members,some
still do.The difference is that most Equity members realise that on
set the main actors are going over their lines for their big
performance and the last thing they want is to be asked for their
autograph for little Johnny ,Alot of this was happening when non
members were being employed.
So anybody that wants to get close to their favourite stars do a
spot of film extra work you might end up on a set in your favourite
soap,just take note of the hidden conducts and use your head! speak
to the actors when spoken to and dont go overboard.
Youll love it!!

Tony
