This thread was done awhile ago but I thought it was time for a new one.
What is your claim to fame? Ever been an extra in a movie? Know anyone in the biz? Share your stories here.
When I was 7 I was on a billboard for the county hospital. That's pretty much it for me.
Although believe it or not, my stepmom executive produced Married With Children, Family Matters, Mad About You and many other major shows.
Also my best friend and long time WS member Tyler (layhe) is the nephew of fucking Jay Roach. For those that don't know, Jay Roach directed the Austin Power series and Meet The Parents.
Alright your turn

Eh, guess I don't have one...don't really know anyone who does either. The only person around my town that I know of who was in a movie or on tv or anything is my chemistry teacher from last year who was an extra in "A League of Their Own." ...yep...my shitty town is only composed of hicks and nobodys

There was a filmcrew doing a documentary about the driving school I was driving at, and one time they came along when I had a lesson, and I was on national tv for about 3 minutes.
The second time I've been filmed for tv was in Estonia where we were at this afterparty for a skatecompetition and a cameracrew from some Estonian network thought that me and a friend of mine were skate pros, so they started interviewing us. We were both really drunk of course so we didn't get the chance to say no either

I was headlining regional news on tv and the front page newspaper for 3 days for the videos and even made it into the news of the world (national paper).
Other than that there was a national newscrew at my primary school when I was about 6 or 7 and there was a segment where they panned across the playground. Loads of kids running around and there was me stood in the middle staring at the camera ruining everything.
