I was a child-actor on Crimewatch, also, I appeared in an ad campaign for STD's.

Oh, and i'm in the Back Of The Y movie.

I'm just famous... especially in the USA on indie music radios and websites

A couple of times I guess.

First and lesser was when I caught a 14.5 pound trout fly fishing. Made a few local papers and got me the undeserved reputation of being a good fisherman. (It was really just my lucky day. Wee bit of skill and a lot of luck in many ways.)

My major dose of 'fame' was when I won a 'Pay Clerk of the Year' award ahead of about 600 other nominees. It hit the papers and living in a small town at the time, many people knew me. I had to go to some event at my daughter's school a couple of days after that hit the papers and I got a feel for what it must be like to be a bit famous because everyone wanted to talk to me about it. While I appreciated the recognition of my achievement, I got a feel for how claustrophobic it must be being truly famous and being recognised and either stared at or approached wherever you go all the time.

Had a couple of 'look mum! theres me on TV *points at white smudge in background*' moments, been in the paper for winning a sailing regatta and been in the school news thingy twice (same photo too).

I'm a rock star!

I was in the movie "Shaker Run" - crowd scene at the car jump show filmed at Hutt Park Raceway. You have to know just when to pause the video, and I'm a black blur next to a red blur.

An NZ team I was in, prior to going to a world champs. A bit big to get on a scanner! GF @ the time had it framed for me. It takes pride of place when heading for the dunny!

I was in the local paper.

Well my school bag was.

I showed everyone who came through the checkout at the supermarket i worked at.

Also from the same incident, I was on a sky TV show about some guy who takes the front page of the local rag and plays the people on it at golf.

My bag isnt very good at golf.
