My uncle and his mateslive close to some of the main London studios and have been involved in film and T.V. to various degrees. As with most actors with equity cards, my uncle has a real job and teaches art and drama. One of his claims to fame is tutoring the Harry Potter kids when they were filming.
His best mate made it to 'guy playing pool' on Eastenders with Phil and Grant, when all the stories were about Phil and Grant. I remember we all sat down to watch - he chalked his cue and said 'your turn', or something like that.
They had a 'production company' called Pink Hippo Productions and they toured schools putting on performances. They also campaigned a bit too, dressed as pink hippos, but this came to a halt after they were campaigning against McDonald's in Leicester Square and a man in a suit informed them that McD's were a very big company and had more money (and better lawyers) than they ever would, so would they mind disappearing.
R.I.P. Pink Hippo Productions.
