Shameless
Ha ha, this is quite a sick and shameless.
I was sat watching that very poor film ‘Sphere’ with Dustin Hoffman et al. The ad break started and I thought thank fck for that, time for the good bit only to have my girlfriend burst out laughing as an ad that I was in for McDonalds sponsorship of Euro 2004 appeared on the TV for the World Cup 2006 (I’m the guy in the black jacket recycling).

I can’t decide if I was cringing at being chuffed or just plain cringing…..I think it was the former.
Sooo, the moral being if you can get on a shoot GO! Especially if you can get into the ad as you’ll be owed for usage.

Yep, I wrote a TV spot for a crappy university in the North West, and appeared in it, too.
Didn’t get a penny.
Mind you, I don’t think the entire budget for the thing was much more than £2k anyway. Bah.

Tell me about it. I would have said something earlier, but I wasn’t sure if I was going to get an Oscar nomination the other night, so I kept quiet about it.
I’ll be on the phone to the Daily Star tomorrow.
Heh.
