I used to be a firefighter a lifetime ago and was on the local news a couple of times. Once talking to the camera, but several more times just standing in the background trying to look competent.

I got on national news back in the late 2000s because the government was making people on unemployment benefits work in supermarkets in exchange for their dole money. The supermarkets were getting labour that wasn't just free, the government was paying them for the privilege. I complained about it here and a goon got me in touch with a campaign group, they got me interviewed on channel 4 news. My pet rats tried to eat the cameraman's shirt.

I was a PA on an episode of Rescue 911 when I lived in Milwaukee. The director decided to throw me into a scene in the 911 call center because he needed someone to react to the dispatcher talking to the call. A long time ago I made a mash-up of my moments on the show (extending it to a lot longer than it was.) This is from the early 90's. I had a lot of hair... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NEnm3L8eYU I have also been in a few news bits here in NY. Most of the time I wasn't aware some news camera was filming and then someone would call me and say "I saw you on a piece about the subway. You were sitting in the car and then zoomed out of you reading." or some such thing. That I have no proof of. I used to have a public access show where I talked a lot and showed my life. No one ever told me they saw it but people who were in it were always having their friends say "I saw you on this podcast where this guy was just talking and then they showed some party and you were there!" Apparently, I posted this a long time ago in another SA thread because the comments are ridiculous. Edit: I forgot I was interviewed about a movie that I directed back in the 90s for a local news segment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8DX0aQjaLc King Lou fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Feb 4, 2024 |

I was actually in a couple of movies/commercials growing up. You've never heard of them, but this was one. I played Christopher Reeves son or girlfriends son I think? Most of my lines and scenes were cut, I think I'm just in one during the opening credits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBP4TjE5U8Q I didn't meet Morgan Freeman but Christopher Reeves was super kind and patient with me. I also came within 48hrs of playing a concentration camp guard in the first X-Men movie. They just phoned me up out of the blue and said they found someone else.  That was the last audition I went on

Also, I may be in the smash comedy classic "Paul Blart, Mall Cop", as they were filming one day I walked in to read a sign that was a legal disclaimer stating that by reading the sign and proceeding, I agreed to allow myself to be in the background of the movie Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I thought about it, but I was there to pick up something for work, so I walked in.

Closest I've ever been was when I wrote a letter to a kid's show (Captain Pitt) that aired on a local independent channel (yes these things used to exist) in Pittsburgh 45 years ago and they read it on the air.

I did runway modeling for some Japanese designers so photos again, but no TV to my knowledge. LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO MY HAIR.

I'm the guy who jumped out of the helicopter in Terminator 2 when the T1000 said "get out". Not the actor, the stunt performer.

I got randomly pulled out of school sometime during the mid 90s by the deputy headmaster, and dropped into appearing in a Welsh-language children's TV show, along with a couple of other students. They had us taste-test a bunch of foods a supermarket chain was bringing out to try and persuade children to eat their vegetables (bubblegum-flavoured carrots and chocolate-flavoured cauliflower, tasted as awful as it sounds) I ended up speaking 3 words, then we got driven back by one of the helpers. En-route, we managed to persuade the driver to drop us off at home rather than school, so managed to dodge the rest of the day. Joke was on them. I have partial anosmia, so chocolate-coated cauliflower tastes just the same as the standard version. Soylent Yellow fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Feb 4, 2024 |

Long ago in 1994 I was on Legends of the Hidden Temple while visiting Universal Studios in Orlando with family. It was basically a show where kids ran jungle themed obstacle courses. I was 7 and didn't make it far, but it was still really cool to see the talking wall in person.

Back in 2008 my ex and I went on vacation in LA. I made plans for us to go on both The Price is Right and Jay Leno. I made T-shirts for TPIR and everything. I guess that can be a whole thread about that, but (a) the Bob Barker studio is super tiny, and (b) there is absolute zero randomness how the producers choose contestants. We ended up not getting called on stage, but you couldn’t miss my gangly rear end flailing my arms. For Leno we waited in line outside the Burbank studio. They started filing people in, checking their tickets and going through metal detectors. A producer asked us to wait to the side for a minute. Kinda weird, but ok…then another PA motioned for us down a hallway into the studio, and there were two chairs right up next to the stage with small ribbons over them. I sat behind my GF and it dawned that I could get on TV…because everyone in the floor seats could run up and shake Jay’s hand before the monologue. So when Jay comes out I loving beeline to an inside corner, so I would face outward. I shake his hand quick but realize I’m too tall for him to reach other people. I go into an immediate crouch, but they switched camera to Kevin Eubanks at that very second. So luckily I avoided looking like a dumbass on NBC…except for willingly watching Leno. The guest was Russell Brand. During break, Russel’s hairstylist shot an entire can of hairspray into his coiffure.
