( 2.9 / 101 )Well just finished a week filming on Harry Potter which was lots of fun. I was playing a typist in the Ministry of Magic and had my own wand which was very cool. I can't really say anymore about it and not even sure if I will be seen but it was a great experience and I look forward to see the film when it's released.
I went to see the new Robin Hood film the other night and I have to admit I was disappointed! Apart from my scenes either being cut or edited to next to nothing I found the film had no real direction, the strongest character was Marion with Robin Hood difficult to connect with and the Merry Men whith no depth or background. I just hope my scene is an extra on the dvd when it's released
Just watched the student film I was in the other night, Shakespeare's Curse. A nice little film and if it ends up on YouTube I will post a link.
I along with the UK Garrison will be at the Space Centre in Leicester this coming weekend for the 30th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back. So if your at a loose end this weekend come along!
Later

( 3 / 86 )Even though this event seems to suffer from falling attendances and not so many big headliner signings, I still really like the vibe of Mem. Some of the best actors to chat to are the ones who have more long standing careers and not in the big block busters. It was an absolute pleasure to meet some of the actors but specifically Alexandra Bastedo of whom my middle name derived from my dad having a crush on her years ago
. Anita Harris was an absolute pleasure to meet and was sooo lovely. Another great person to meet was Victor Spinetti who has appeared in many things over the years but I will always fondly remember his role in the Revenge of the Pink Panther film.
The weekend was unfortunately marred with one of the UKG members having their Stormtrooper costume stolen overnight from the event which really put a dampener on the next day, but as ever in true UKG style, it's members rallied together and had a collection the following week and managed to donate enough for a new suit to be bought.
It was great appearing as Xena again, and like the last Mem Xena fans are still alive and kicking and showing their appreciation which is great! I even had Lee MacDonald who played Zamo from Grange Hill (for all you oldies that can remember that!) wanted his piccie taken with me. What was funnier was he asked his helper/assistant to ask as he was too shy! ha ha. I met Alan Harris again who played Bossk in Empire and is just such a lovely guy I am really hoping he will be attending the next Space Centre event next month.
As ever it was made all the more fun walking around with Sean on the Sunday and I"m already looking forward to the next one!

( 3 / 83 )Just a short posting to say Mem went really well and I will post a report up shortly. I had a couple of days work just as background on a weight loss commercial. Just had a fun day on Doctors driving a car and running over and killing the guest actor of the episode!
It was played by Mark Wingett who is best known as DC Carver from the TV show The Bill. I have also just completed a Student film called The Shakespeare Curse by Wolverhampton Uni, very tiring as it was filming the whole thing in a day and a half! I did enjoy it though and it should be a fun little film. Will let you know when it's done should be about a months time.My Harry Potter dates for next week have now been pushed back to May
so hopefully will be going ahead as planned!Well thats it for now as I'm real tired, will post the Mem report soon.
Later
