Local forum member in Irish advert

    Of those here living in Ireland, who remembers a Lucozade advert featuring zombies storming a mall, only to start partying? It was shot a few months back, so it's probably a recent advert.

    Well, the dude bouncing the basketball, slam-dunking (with his arms ripping off) and looking right at the lucozade bottle while bobbing his head to the music happens to be none other than Lyle
    He generally lurks on these forums nowadays.

    Who else here has featured in adverts?

    I nearly got the chance a few years back when a talent scout overheard me have a vicios argument with my mom in an art shop, but I didn't go for it as it was my final exams coming up. Looking at the money I could have made, perhaps I should of :p

    I'll add some screenshots when I get the chance to make them

    I don't see how someone " bouncing the basketball, slam-dunking (with his arms ripping off) and looking right at the lucozade bottle while bobbing his head to the music" can be "featured" in an advert...

    I was once an extra at a soap opera, but I sure wouldn't say that I was featured in it :D

    I was asked to do a screentest for a movie when I was visiting my brother in Venice beach, I said no because I didn't believe it was real. My brother told me when I got back to the house that I was an idiot and should have jumped on it. Lesson learned, I could be dating Paris Hilton right now ;)

    Heh, those were 3 different scenes (bouncing the basketball, slamdunking it, boobing his head while looking at the bottle)

    which soap opera was it?

    I've been in the background on a couple of kids TV shows here in the UK. Both in Rainbow and Blue Peter. I was a child myself at the time, I might add!

    I wrote my name in some freshly-poured concrete a few years ago.

    I have been featured on Crimewatch ( the equiv of Americas most Wanted) .

    It wasn't a very good video of me though as the mask hid most of my face, and everyone in the bank was looking at the shotgun. You couldn't really here my lines that well either because of those amateurs screaming... Honestly you just can't get the right quality of victim these days :(
