Name That Extra!

Hi all,

On one of the Space:1999 forums, someone is going through
a 1975 directory of actors. One of the actors, Ian Landles,
has UFO on his credits list:

http://ufoseries.com/temp/IanLandles.jpg

Anyone recognize that face? Perhaps a background person
in Skydiver or SHADO HQ?

Marc

He looks a bit like the guy (he had longer hair) who was occasionally at the
SkyDiver controls - on the 1st floor level (always thought that little lift was
overkill... cool though...)

Best, Griff

Yes, one of the Skydiver operatives I reckon. That photo appears to have been
taken in '73 or '74 judging by the attire, so he would have been a few years
younger when he appeared in UFO.

Do you mean this guy?

This guy is Barry Stokes, I believe...

I was looking at "Timelash" earlier and the actor in the scene that
Straker crashes into near the start looked similar. I FF to the end
credits but it wasn't him :-(

Maybe he was Mike Billington's stand-in? ;-)

To be honest, he doesn't look familiar at all, but he wouldn't have
lied............. would he? :-)

It's always possible that an actor would use a different name...

BTW, in PSYCHOBOMBS, there's a fellow on Skydiver that resembles
him:

http://ufoseries.com/temp/skyCrew2.jpg

(compare with http://ufoseries.com/temp/IanLandles.jpg)

There are 5 people onboard that Skydiver, and only 4 credited.
Although this one has a speaking role, so I'd think he'd get
a credit for that.

Hey well done, Marc. I'm sure it's him.

That's the guy I was thinking of.

Best, Griff

That's him, without a shred of doubt. Nice one, Marc.

No mistaking those eyebrows, eh? :-)

Well done Marc! :-)
