B7 sighting - sort of

I just watched Matilda, the film of the Roald Dahl story (never having grown up) and was about to turn the TV off at the end when I saw the name Deep Roy in the credits under 'Stunts'. The film was made in 1996; nice to know that Deep Roy, who did stunts and played the Klute in Blake's 7 is still getting work.

[Edit] [livejournal.com profile] trixieleitz just told me that he played Mr Soggybottom in Big Fish. I hang my head in shame that I didn't recognise him.

glad to hear you enjoyed that, btw :)

Ah! You know, I thought he looked familiar but I just never made the connection. Thank you.

Aww, no need for shame!

I loved Roald Dahl as a child, but I don't think I ever got around to Matilda. Must rectify that.

Matilda is great and the movie adaptation, as I recall is very well-done and faithful to the book.
