Plaster Caster
I am a firm believer that you can never have too many professions on your CV.
My past careers have included: make up artist, restauratrice, writer and PR gal. However my favourite job was to play a miniature Egyptian mummy with the strength of ten thousand men in a Brunton Theatre company production of Aladdin. I can only assume my Olivier Award got lost in the post.
So you can imagine my delight at finding yet another string to my harp, that of casting director for the role of 'plasterer' for the new Yellow Pages People behind the numbers ad. This involved phoning every plasterer listed in Edinburgh and telling them: "No, don't dress up, come in your overalls and look dirty."
20 brave men took up the challenge and in the end Denis Maloney was chosen to star in the advert which features real people who advertise in the directory. I was very pleased as Denis was a true gent and a natural in front of the camera. The advert was made by Mother London and Academy Films, so it was nice to start at the top.
