No Taggart I'm afraid... But worked with some of the crew.
Have worked as 'video assist' on many commercials and some shows.
Extras are treated like sheep, I know, as I've had to herd them!.
Working on a crew, you sometimes get asked to be an extra (no extra money, cheapskates)
Can be seen in: 'The Little Vampire', 'Murder Rooms' (Sherlock Holmes), Domestic Abuse Commercial (The B&W one with the song 'Behind Closed Doors'), A Polish commercial for a 'Scottish' themed beer called 'Tyskie', featuring a shameless James Cosmo & Ian Robertson.......
At a table in a nightclub (tin shed in Dalmarnock) as Kelly McDonald walks past in 'Strictly Sinatra'. Probably biggest claim to fame is starring as dying soldier in Playstation commercial for Japanese game called 'Valkyrie'. (Sadly only seen in Japan, apart from my copy)Interestingly, wearing a costume from 'Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves' and being filmed by 'Eduardo Serra', who went on to shoot 'Unbreakable' & ' The Girl With A Pearl Earing'. Sounds exiting eh?, NOT. He was a nice old French bloke though!.

Beware of 'professional extras' though, bawbags......
