Have any TrekBBS members been on screen?

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Meaning, have any members of this board had onscreen roles - with or without dialogue - in a TV episode or film? I can think of two, right off the bat:

- firecrackerrrrrrr was in one of the X-Files movies (she played a nurse). I think she once said she had other acting roles as well but I forgot which.

- 005 was in the first episode of Law & Order: LA. No dialogue that I'm aware of.

Spoiler: the scene

It was a scene in a bar/club/restaurant where the detectives go to interview a former reality TV star. 005 is sitting at one of the tables. Very much a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo.

Any others among us that are famous in this way?

I played a dead body in the Joe Estevez movie Autopsy: A Love Story. http://www.amazon.com/Autopsy-Story...1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1323916427&sr=1-1

I was an extra in a crowd scene in the Disney movie "Iron Will". In the front of the crowd at the beginning of the dogsled race.

And I can confirm that David Ogden Stiers is an arrogant asshat.

He was nice when I met him.

Were you Borgified, or just a regular corpse?

I was caught on the jumbotron at Great American Ballpark screaming expletives at, and flipping off both barrels toward, the Atlanta Braves pitcher during a baseball game.

That story's doubly awesome for being directed at the Braves!

Hopefully this was when the Braves pitching staff was made of awesome, back in the mid-90's.

Not sure why the 'double' hate. The Braves are hardly a hugely controversial team or anything...except in Atlanta, where they are known for having really great seasons...and choking in the end. But that 'controversy' is hardly interesting to anyone outside of Atlanta... I can think of several other sports teams that are much more controversial and/or easy to hate.


As of me, the only times I have been on TV are on news shows (was interviewed regarding one of my causes several years back) and on public broadcasting fund raisers while manning the phone banks. Nothing exciting.

Does Chase Masterson count?

Um...maybe Kestrel just doesn't like the Braves. I think you're reading way too much into that statement.

Doubtful, since Great American Ballpark didn't exist in the 90s.

I was in a commercial for Fox Kids when I was maybe 7. It was Fox Philadelphia, so it wouldn't have had national play.

Who was the pitcher?

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

I dunno, I was interviewed at some length for a television special about TNG which ran in the Baltimore/Washington market in 1994. I don't suppose that counts.

 

[Greg Cox]

I'm a bonus feature on the WRATH OF KHAN dvd. And I was interviewed years ago for a Learning Channel show on vampires.

I've never actually seen the latter (I didn't have cable at the time), but I remember spending an afternoon in an historic old cemetery while the tv crew filmed me walking pensively among the tombstones . . . .

Oh, one more: I popped up briefly during a news report on Al Lewis ("Grandpa Munster") and this Italian restaurant he used to own down in the Village. My girlfriend and I could be seen at a table in the background while Al was being interviewed.

Back when I was in government I used to be on the local TV news fairly regularly

 

[Theodore Jay Miller]

My niece Caroline was on an episode of 30 Rock.

She played one of the two little girls in the gag about dolls being used to smuggle cocaine.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I was in a commercial for a local TV station. On of those "I love this station/say the tagline" things.

 

[Spot's Meow]

As for myself, I can't think of any time that I've been on TV or in a movie, but my dad was interviewed for one of those cable shows about life in prisons (no, he was not an inmate, he was a police officer ). My dad is very shy, it was hilarious seeing him try to not be awkward on TV.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

I was on CNN once, interviewed at the Consumer Electronics Expo.
