I "starred" in Indiana Jones , the final crusade, .............well starred is an over statement, I was a German soldier who stood still for 3 hours, and despite watching it several times, could not see myself.
I also many years ago took part in a cooking slot on daytime live, prepared flamee chicken dish , long before the likes of Jamie and Gordon.
I saw my ex boss a few years ago and he reminded me of my "appearance" he also told me I could have made the big time if only I had had a personality or some ability as a chef........ good job ive got thick skin..........I hope he was joking....
great thread though,

I think Lee Mead is related to me. My Mums maiden name was Mead and he is the double of my big brother. Well it's a nice thought anyway!
I never had a famous family member. I hope that will change in the future 🙂
interesting thread! An ancle of me was married to a woman (now they are divorced) whose grandfather was the father of the great greek football player Saravakos. He was my favorite player, now he has retired and i was very proud of that (not so close) relationship 🙂
i dont but my friend is related to ivor novello. (he died years ago) (ivor novello, not my friend!!)
one of my friends from school was related to richard burton but this was many moons ago in fact too many

Apparently he wanted to beat his dad, who gained his honours degree in Engineering at the same age.
But what's special about all that?
That's no claim to fame.
Well while working as a junior doctor in the extremely challenging and frustrating environment currently prevailing in UK for junior doctors, he has been developing a new chess variant.
Amost interesting multi-player version, that should be a challenge even [url]for the deep blue supercomputer.[/url]
Perhaps that will bring him fame one day...
You can [url]try out his invention here, should you so desire...[/url]

no one that we know of
but my mum knew David Frost when she was younger and she was in the David Essex film "Stardust" - she was one of the angels - 25 rows back and 15 in (or thereabouts)
more infamous than famous
I heard a rumour that our family is related to Harrison Ford.
I think that is a bit unfair if I ever meet him.:rolleyes:
My cousin was married to the french chef Jean Christophe Noveli before he was famous he was a chef at the chewton glen.They married and had a daughter who lives with him,shes a great singer our christina.I often say to Tina bet you could kick yourself now, but she has no regrets and still sees him when she visits christina in Hertfordshire.
Well, I know that Michael Caine is a distant relative, he is really a Micklewhite and I had a great Aunt and Uncle by that name who were brought up in Bermondsey, London. That's where my family originate from, but I don't have a clue how we are actually related, may be just a coincidence!!
