There’s a guy in the airforce based at Lossiemouth, near where I live, who looks the spit of Kevin McKidd who was Tommy in Trainspotting and has been in Grays Anatomy and some other stuff.
When a bit tipsy I used to think it was amusing to go up to him in the local nightclub in Elgin and pretend to be a groupie “You’re that bloke out of Trainspotting, Giz yer autograph” etc. Hilarious eh? Anyway, this one time… he found it even less amusing than usual, probably because it was actually Kevin McKidd, whom I was not aware comes from Elgin originally. Doh!
I also met Robin Williams when he was filming the Bill Forsyth film, ‘Being Human’ up Glen Nevis in the mid 90s. He was very gracious and signed my paper video cover insert for ‘The Dead Poets Society’ with “Carpe Diem, Robin Williams”
