Ray Winstone

[jobotic]

Ray "Raped by Tax" Winstone.

[Shit Good Nose]

He seemed that way, but he's a double/triple/quadruple agent or whatever the fuck was going on in Crystal Skull agent isnt - so do not trust.

I'm sorry, I have no idea what this Crystal Skull you speak of is.  I think you must have imagined it.

drink itttttt

[koeman]

I've mentioned it on here before, but he pronounces his own surname wrong.

He also once rolled Mrs Warboys up in carpet and kicked her down a hill, causing her to get humped by a dog.

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

I met him through the course of my work a couple of years ago and chatted with him for half an hour or so.  Seemed like a decent enough and genuine sort.

Was he genuinely funny and down to earth ?

So funny they decided to work it into the script and film it too.

[Shit Good Nose]

I wouldn't say funny, but only cos the flow of the conversation (which was mostly relating to the reason we were both where we were) didn't lend itself to laugh a minute japery.  But he was cheery and, yes, down to earth.  Took some genuine interest in what I was doing there.  I wanted to ask about his career and that, but that's not what either of us were there for and I had limited time before I had to go to another appointment.

Didn't even get an autograph or photo (I didn't think it would be very professional of me).

[Sony Walkman Prophecies]

I thought Adam Buxton's description of him as England's answer to Joe Pesci was pretty spot on. Other than that, I've always thought he was a complete cunt. But then there's no shortage of those about.

Did you give him a lovely big kiss?

[Shit Good Nose]

Blowie behind the bus station.

[SpiderChrist]

Saw this and thought he was dead.

Saw this and hoped he was dead thought the same.

Great actor in his day, now just a solid mass of twat.

[Konki]

Why all the hatred; is it just cos of the betting ads?

Yes.

[gilbertharding]

Ages ago I had to call the AA to get my car going again. I can't remember how it came up in conversation, but it turned out the AA man was the Susan Scott Ray Winstone in his spare time. He was full of advice on how to become a successful lookalike.

[gilbertharding]

I also wondered if there was a parallel universe where there was an actor called Ray Winsome, whose defining characteristics were that he was incredibly likeable, innocent and soft. Like REALLY delightful.

I'd you believe in endless parallel universes there is one out there where Ray Winstone is a fat balding woman with duck's feet doing ads for home castration kits.

[poodlefaker]

He has a bar in his house, called "Raymondo's". Top geezer.

[petril]

the reason that ad breaks during The Sport And That are known as "the latest sods are appearing on your screen now"

What was his advice? I mean I think I have a fairly good idea what the number one piece would be, but it'd be great to know what else he suggested.

Votes Brexit. Wants to retire to the Mediterranean.

Fucking hell, i.q. of a fence post.

OK. It used to be just the betting ads.

Oh, Ray! You massive belm.

[gilbertharding]

He was very informative, in general terms, about what kinds of work people on the books of Susan Scott can actually expect to do. I'm sure he was embroidering the truth, but I remember it seemed to involve going to a lot of quite glamorous parties.

In terms of advice - I winkled this out of him by suggesting I was interested in perhaps becoming a lookalike myself (Harry Hill, perhaps...). Anyway, here it is:

"You can always make yourself look more like the person than you do already."

Doesn't sound very profound, I admit, but I was stood in a dark, freezing cold car park waiting to see if whatever he was doing to my car would actually work.

I don't think i.q. has anything to do with having stupid or contradictory views. Someone can score 150 and still believe the most imbecilic things.

Intellectuals down the centuries.

[Icehaven]

"You can always make yourself look more like the person than you do already."

I can see what he's trying to say but surely that's limited if the sleb doesn't have any particular identifying features other than their own face. I mean Harry Hill's an easy one, bald head, shirt collar, glasses, done, but even with a natural resemblance how exactly does one make oneself look more like Ray Winstone? Voice/mannerisms can't count, if it's not obvious who you're supposed to be from a picture then you're not going to get much work, are you?

And yes, I think your AA friend might have been bending the facts a bit. I doubt the real RW gets invited to many glamorous parties, never mind a lookalike.

You are obviously on the internet, so the question is redundant - but I'll ask anyway: Have you seen the Susan Scott website?

[Small Man Big Horse]

Has he ever played against type and been a gentle, considerate sort?

Also, I used to like him until I read this thread. Gah.
