The "Did you know" thread.....

[Greenman]

Did you know one of the most cringeworthy appearances by a pop star in a big US television series was Boy George & Culture Club's appearance in an episode of 'The A Team' The premise is that Murdoch has hired a country band to play for some charitable thing and thinks they are getting 'Cowboy' George but wouldn't ya know it they get Boy George instead. They all get mixed up in the usual mayhem but the most cringeworthy thing is when Boy George turns to George Peppard's character and says "Awesome Hannibal!" Yikes! One singer who did himself a bit of good was Phil Collins who appeared in Miami Vice as Phil the Shill(bet that didn't take long thinking up) but our Phil was a child actor so probably knew what he was doing and later he appeared as a policeman in 'Hook' as well as an ex train robber Buster Edwards in 'Buster'
