Me in the Made in Dagenham Trailer

September 27, 2010

dagenham trailer 1 — That's me in a ginger wig, waving the wooden rattle

I posted about filming this back in July 2009 but it seems that now wherever I go I see big posters of Sally Hawkins advertising upcoming film Made in Dagenham (previous working titles: Dagenham Girls and We Want Sex). As you may or may not be aware, my very moving portrayal of a West Ham supporter, shouting and jeering at Sally Hawkins, Geraldine James and others as they try and gather support for their cause, is integral to the whole story, despite my total appearance time being something in the region of a few seconds.

Anyway, unbelievably you can actually see me in the trailer:

You can see me after about 1:11

What a performance.

Now I’ve scanned this in I can’t remember if it was the Metro or the London Paper, but either way here’s some evidence that someone famous is in that film I’ll (hopefully) be in.

The other day I played the part of a West Ham supporter in a film set in 1968 called Dagenham Girls (although on imdb it appears to be called We Want Sex), directed by Nigel Cole who did Calender Girls.

Film being the way it is, with seemingly infinate numbers of takes at different angles, the other supporters and I were on set for about 10 hours to complete 2 scenes. We had a great laugh though, and there are some very familar actors and actresses in the film, one of which was kind of freaking me out as he got into character before each take by ranting to himself mere feet from where I was standing.

Anyway, I pray that some editor doesn’t watch it back and say something like No, that ginger wig looks ridiculous. Cut him out.
