There's
an astonishing selection of crap jobs
an actor can end up doing, but the
bottom of any barrel, according to
FHM magazine, is the computer game
character. The down-at-heel luvvy
will puff and sweat his way around
shopping centres in a preposterous
foam suit, and the best coverage the
chump can expect is a twee headline
in the local rag.
But
playing one pixelated character has
been a handy springboard for the careers
of a plethora of fine ladies. There's
Rhona Mitra, whose break led to fronting
Channel 5's Pepsi Chart Show and a
starring role in upcoming Hollywood
flick Beowulf. Then there's Nell McAndrew,
star of the FHM 2000 Calendar, who
is making It's A Knockout almost watchable.
Hoping
for the same golden touch is 24-year-old
Dutch model Lara Weller, who is pulling
on the rubber top and leather shorts
to promote what promises to be Lara
Croft's fourth and final outing, The
Last Revelation.
