Just been watching the adverts in the middle of The Eleventh Hour. A new one for Direct Line popped up and I recognised an actor in it.
Talk about astonishing. It was Doug Bradley, the guy who played Pinhead in Hellraiser. He was playing a swimming instructor or something.
Weird: like Freddie Krueger trying to sell you double glazing.
PS Yep, it’s definitely him. He confirms it on Dark Focus.
