Have you ever been in a motion picture? Could be as a lead, co-lead, or even someone in a public shot.

Actually yes, in High School.

Cut school with a girl and we went and were extras in a Disney movie. Totally silly and boring thing to do.

Two thumbs up!

A 30 second commercial just to watch a 1:29 video? That's just fvcking crazy. I ejected.

I am curious to see how talented of an actor he is.

Unfortunately it’s not available from Amazon UK, I would most certainly have watched it again as it’s donkey’s years since I saw it.

I notice it got 3 favourable comments on USA Amazon, I think maybe those not involved with the sport at a high level and able to see the obvious weaknesses, might find it entertaining.

Rather like I would assume those actually working in CSI are a bit iffy about those CSI series they see on TV.

"Although this movie was released in 1970, its story line and moral is awesome! The filming of the movie is not great, but the movie's story line more than makes up for it. The movie follows four runners who must overcome individual obstacles to achieve victory. The end for each runner is classic as the moral of the movie is captured in a famous quote of Pierre de Coubertin at the commencement of the first Olympic Games in the early 1800's. All running enthusiasts will love this great film!"

"It's a bit strange to watch a film about the Olympics from 1970, without the intense media coverage and the growing issue of performance-enhancing drugs we are used to in the 2010's. To the film's credit, it does an excellent job of making the city of Rome look and feel like a sprawling and energized host for the games. And it does try to give time to the storylines of the British, American, Czech, and Australian athletes.

However, restrictions on the film's scope and running time are a big problem. We don't get much deep insight into each competitor's motivation, further hindered by the disorganized manner in which the film moves from one storyline to another. While plenty of time is given to show the background and training for the characters, not as much remains for the actual games themselves. The interactions between athletes, the politics running through the Olympic movement and among the athletes themselves, and the strange social life in the Olympic village is scarcely touched upon.

Despite this, the film has an admirable message about the innate drive and need for competition that has kept athletics and the Olympics going through all these years. If you can look past the limited budget and muddled colors of this 70's picture (or even enjoy it), you might enjoy its unfiltered style and deeper underlying message."

"Pinedale with my young son...

.

Overnight camp-out before heading into the Bridger Wilderness for a week or so...

.

Hay... Let's go see the movie...

What a shocker that he at age 9-10 was inspired

to be a pretty good track guy after that...

.

Best scene... IMHO ... Right after the one of the

other guys saw Ryan taking a pep pill... heh...

One of O'Neal's best scenes ever..."

I can be seen running onto the track when my buddy ran 3:58 in a flotrack video.

I was in Iron Man 2 as an extra. Got to work with RD, Jr. and Jon Favreau for 4 hours. Actually, really very interesting how the effects are done. Met Stan Lee at the same time.

HA, Not yet.

I tried to photo-bomb a scene in the movie Crumb, about the famous underground cartoonist R. Crumb.

It was a scene being shot in an art gallery in San Francisco where Crumb was having an opening. The camera was on Crumb and I tried to get in the background of the shot. Crumb and film maker Zwigoff appeared annoyed that I was there.

Sorry guys! Ha ha.

If I was in any footage, it was edited out.

I just watched my first porno movie today.

I was much younger looking inthose days.

"Crumb" was a terrific (and pretty disturbing) film. I remember the scene in the art gallery.

The only commercial movie that I recall being in was "A Small Circle of Friends," a very forgettable film about some Harvard undergraduates during the Vietnam War. I'm barely visible in one or two frames in the final cut (which was released around 1980, I believe), reading a fake copy of the Harvard Crimson. I think that I received about $25 or $30 for my performance.

I was a stunt double for a few low budget adult movies

I was an extra in a TV show in Germany in the '80's. I don't even know what show it was but I think it was about a PI?? No idea, but they needed extra's for a military base scene and a few of us became marching grunts. Apparently it was a real popular show but I have no idea what it was called now.

\"The Games\"? Hey, I was an extra in that turkey too. I was living and working and running in Rome, where part of the movie was filmed, in the facilities built for the 1960 Olympics. I answered a call for extras, to be a runner as I thought, but whoever was doing the casting didn\'t see me as a runner - Ryan O\'Neal and Charles Aznavour were his idea of \"runners\" - and I wound up in the poolside scenes in the swimming venue. There were rows of plastic (fiberglass)dummies in the spectator seats, and a few of us \"extras\" were supposed to circulate, move around to give the illusion of a \"live\" crowd.

It was an awful movie. Years later I did a review of it in \"Runners\' World\" - That might still be recoverable. It was not a good review - However, there have been very few films about running which were any good at all, and \"The Games\" probably wasn\'t the worst. Close to Worst, perhaps.

I don't understand how Hadsell can just walk into the acting world and get cast in these main character roles? Is it that easy to do or does the guy have some sort of hidden talent? He royally messed up his coaching career but I have to admit I am impressed with this.
