From Thunderbirds to Pterodactyls: My Autobiography by Shane Rimmer published. Foreword by Gerry Anderson.
Shane Rimmer’s voice is familiar to millions from his role as "Scott Tracy", the pilot of
Thunderbird 1, but there are many other facets to his remarkable career.
In
From Thunderbirds to Pterodactyls Shane recalls the years he spent as an actor, voice artist and writer for Gerry Anderson’s classic productions, as well as his appearances in other memorable shows such as
Doctor Who,
Coronation Street and
Lipstick On Your Collar.
Equally at home in
Star Wars or
Out of Africa, Shane’s talents as a character actor have been called upon by some of the film industry’s leading directors. He worked for Stanley Kubrick in
Dr Strangelove and Christopher Nolan in
Batman Begins. Between the two he notched up
appearances in three James Bond movies and had a close encounter with a low-flying dinosaur in
The People that Time Forgot.
This wry and refreshingly frank autobiography sheds new light on some of the best-loved films and television series ever made, as well as revealing what life is really like for a jobbing actor in the sometimes less than glamorous world of showbusiness.
