The bugger's only gone and got another job advertising Athletico Madrid, in Madrid, the day after Cadbury's, on Saturday They've suggested a paid "chaperone" but I've let my passport lapse Time my Brother stepped up anyway!
... or walking up a gentle slope even ... The "story" at the audition (often changes by the shoot) was he has to make a serious trek to see a new grandchild born in hospital, getting his present of the Athletico strip there before some other relatives do with the same present Brother not able to go Madrid with him so here's hoping the chaperone isn't a condition
The Cadbury's job is with the daughter in law of Alfred Marks (remember him?) ... I was at primary school with his son (her husband) in the '60's!! Talk about "small world"
The prodigal has returned from Madrid with tales of filming until 2 am two nights running. Very happy bunny though as they gave him the VIP treatment ... Think there must be some kind of British-actors-are-the-best thing going on. It was the same in Greece two years ago. Hope I've got more than my fair share of his DNA!
I think it definitely made a difference ... It's all about getting seen by casting directors who then suggest cast to Directors and Clients. I'm hoping he'll bag a spot in a TV soap so he can travel to nearly Elstree instead of all this flying abroad and night shoots ... though he now has an Athletico shirt with "10" and his name on it. Better than a mug with "Queen Vic" or "Albert Square" on it.
