Just by coincidence two different music videos that I was an extra in have both gone public today, even though they were filmed months apart.

Don't worry though- the filmmakers have, unbelievably, decided to focus on the pop stars and the scantily-clad dancers rather than get my ugly mug on camera. Also, the lighting is low- but if you know what I look like and know exactly where to look, I am there.

First it's an epic six-minute sci-fi adventure from McFly:

Then it's a raunchy Urban Astronauts video dripping in sexuality (naturally if you can't see me it's because of how well I fit in):

They were fun times but I wouldn't rave about the experience of being an extra. An awful lot of waiting and not a lot to show for it. Ricky Gervais had a point.
