THE PROFESSIONALS 

LAWSONS LAST STAND

Played the check point guard.Sadly the 1st AD would not let me improvise and say a few words. I start my scene as they approach the gate. I then look at the Jeep and the men inside. I wanted something like can I see your ID and pass while taking down the numberplate. I suggested this to the director but they would have then had to pay me more money and give me a contract. I would have done for free! Stupid really. Many times over my career did have lines, sometimes the scene was cut due to length of film ect. It was and is all about money in those days and no doubt still is.

The  scenes were filmed on Wednesday 15th April 1981 at Victoria Barracks.
