Sandy Ratcliff, memorable in her screen debut, Ken Loach's Family Life (1971), she never seemed to have such a good role again, despite being known to millions via Eastenders in the mid-1980s.

A very interesting writer. Like Nabokov, he liked to play tricks with narrative voice and weave complicated puzzles into his stories. For all its flaws, The Book of the New Sun is an impressive work.

Mya Lecia-Naylor at only 16. She was in a few children's television series such as the tite role in Tati's Hotel and Almost Never, but was also in a couple of other Bulgarian-shot films: Index Zero and World War II zombie film Code Red, and perhaps most notably in the Far Future section of Cloud Atlas.

According to imdb she also has a role in the pilot episode of the upcoming Witcher TV series.

Former boxer and ex-football hooligan Bradley Welsh shot outside his house in Edinburgh. He had a role in Trainspotting 2, and was also the subject of an episode of a series presented by Mark Kermode's favourite actor ( :wink: ), Danny Dyer, in Danny Dyer's Deadliest Men (NSFW)

Producer David Picker, who oversaw production at no fewer than three major Hollywood studios - United Artists, Paramount and Columbia - and made a pretty decent fist of all three jobs. In passing, he also played a major role in the screen careers of Woody Allen and Steve Martin, by giving them significant early breaks (in Allen's case a largely unprecedented multi-picture deal when he'd barely directed anything).

Terry gave me my first job as a negative cutter on a film that ultimately was recut by three separate teams. I value my short time with him, digging up dirt on Ken Russell. When I left the offices, Terry handed me a German poster for The Devils.

Pete Townshend worked with him on Tommy seemingly almost more than Russell. He gave Rawlings nothing but high praise in his autobiography.

Always much preferred his When You Comin' Back Red Ryder? (1979) which is long overdue for a Blu Ray release.
