I'd quite fancy being a weevil... Janto can come hunting for me and I would be happy ;)
Honestly though, I think being a monster in TW would be fab fun

being a bad guy would be cool..... it would be fun to go up against Captain Jack in an epic battle of some sort...shame you'd lose though... :sad:

:woot: GREAT THOUGHT!! I am with you! Then I could be the "Lady they ask if I have seen ____ alien" of the week in every episode. When filming finishes, I could then move over to the DW and be dressed as one of the aliens that chase the Doctor every week :wink:

Anything Ianto eats, E.g Pizza, GRAPES etc.
A stopwatch, a fly on Jacks bedroom wall... I could play Myfanwy It would cut down on CGI costs! I might look a bit naff but I could do a good squark!

I'd do what ever...
Well, sponny, would you jump of the bridge now? Sure!
Sponny, kiss Cpt. Jack, ok? Well, I'm straight but...sure!
Besides one thing...
Sponny, would you please just piss off? No way!!

Ive actually been trying all summer to apply to be an extra for BBC Wales. It is virtually impossible to do it! So so solid to get into.

30th September 2008, 22:10
Oh i'd want to be a werwlf but sadly they are CGI generated....maybe something like Gollum from LOTR for a laugh...actually i'd be any kind of bad guy/kick ass alien...especially if it could be a creature i had created myself.
I know someone who was an extra in Doctor Who....i have been bugging him for months to get me a place as a TW extra but to no avail...still i will find a way...i'm not one to give up easily.... :laugh2: :laugh2: I'd even be brazen enough to go up to the castand crew on a shoot and ask them if they need an extra...i'd work for free...i don't cost a penny me...not that i'm advertising my acting services or anything... :laugh2: :laugh2:

I have no idea what I would be. I'd prefer to stay behind the camera. But my friend for some strange reason wants to be a weevil dressed up in a chicken suit that runs through the middle of the hub. How they would write that into the plot I don't know :dontknow:

/If/ I was an extra....I'd not mind kissing either Jack or Ianto,mainly Jack though! Haha

30th October 2008, 16:49
An alien from another planet come to steal Ianto as my sex slave and take him back to my luscious planet in the hopes Jack will follow so I could keep both of them locked in my cupboard :D
I'd remember to feed them, occasionally.

If i were an extra in Torchwood i would like to be some shifty looking female who is seen in some scenes and reappears a few eps on as Captain Jack and Gwens daughter from a negative future dimensional...obviously im not sure how i'd get there...i should really finish that fic tbh... :)

I'd be a geek in a white coat!!! That's my profession anyway so I'd fit right in and not have to worry about my acting skills (lack thereof). Good question :grin:

16th November 2008, 16:12
Actually, thought of another one. Evil nemesis.
I watched too many John Simm videos last night. So a bad Master-like psychopath who can clone myself and be in several places at once attacking all of the team members. And my music would be Bad Girls by Donna Summer. Plural, 'cause I'd be clones! And also, because Torchwood needs more disco.

I guess that's a bigger role than an extra, but hey.

I'm tempted to say a stopwatch... but I'm going to go for Myfanwy, because I could fly around and see Ianto every day and spy on Janto in the Hub. And from time to time attack Cyberwomen. :smile:

They bring back John Hart,
then i'll be his slave [;
slave with benefits slave
not slave chained up having to tortue jack slave
hahaaa
or i'll be the person who stalks jack and ianto when they go on dates then posts the videos on the internet
:D

I'd be a dead person under a sheet in a hosptial or something, quickly groping the main characters as they walked past my 'dead' body ;)
My journalism tutor's son has acted in the Doctor Who specials for next year I think, and he's been on Eastenders and Casualty - he must have Beeb contacts >.< I should get his number! haha
kacey
9th December 2008, 23:58
I've been thinking... (whilst reading through this thread) like the Torchwood-pathetic that I am...
I would like to be a female-human-shaped alien, a kind of cross between Adam and walking pheromone spray... a 'distractor' and mind-reader/controller, so anyone who crosses my path gets 'distracted' from whatever they were supposed to be doing :tongue:
Of course, I would sneak into the Hub through the Tourist Office... Ianto would be fairly easy to distract :wink:
Or just a general extra who gets spotted and pulled in for a bigger role... hey I have aspirations!
Roqui
1st January 2009, 15:44
What would I be as an extra on TW?
After much consideration, I decided I'd be Ianto's undies. There must be some cool alien gadget that turns humans into inanimate object. :read: So, yeah. Ianto's undies all the way! :yahoo1: :grin:
Captain James Harper
12th January 2009, 15:47
I'd be some anonymous extra in a bar scene, with a line like:
"Nice watch," to Jack, and getting a reply like:
"Thanks, I picked it up during The Battle of Britain..." just before Jack moves away to deal with the actual focus of the mission, which would leave my anonymous character looking suitably confused and thinking I'd had too much to drink :D

I'd be happy being anyone but either a Blowfish or a passer by (preferably in a Jack/Ianto kiss) :happy:

I'd get run over by the SUV and sue Torchwood.
I'd need a good bribe not to... :big_grin:
Amazing episode that would be! :smile:
time_vortex
16th February 2009, 19:15
I would like to be girl in back round number 10 or something, nothing really important.
Or like in the Satellite 5 episodes/Bad Wolf/Parting of the Ways one of the people who is a frozen computer/killed by a Dalek.
Death by Dalek would be awesome!!
If I was going to be a serious character I would want to be a like FBI agent or someone investigating Torchwood and then get Retconned cause i know too much.

11th March 2009, 22:53
That would be a dream come true, to be in Torchwood. I'd play any part if it meant I could be in the greatest television show on this planet. I would also love to actually be in the Torchwood team (who wouldn't!). I'm hoping to do a university course which includes acting next year or the year after, and acting is something I've always wanted to do. So, who knows? But if I could be simply an extra, as anything, i'd be over the moon! :yes:

6th April 2009, 03:13
Ooooh.... I'd want to be an annoying college kid who got involved with aliens. I would have something they want to take over the world or something. You know, like that kid in Doctor Who who had the fob watch while the Doctor was human... Only different, because they obviously can't do that again. *sulks*
I like the idea of being an alien, though. A sexy alien who got to flirt with Jack... but preferred Ianto. ;)

17th April 2009, 15:12
I have a friend who was an extra on the first episode of the second series. She was in the bar just when Captain John Hart decides who should stay or go. You can just see her at the bar if I remember correctly.
gee_is_kool
17th June 2009, 14:22
I think i'd like to play a nice extra, cos if i played a baddie i might become a typecast extra :)
maybe ill just go to cardiff and try and get in the back of the shots as a passer by like I always do when I see casualty filming.
I think they should give me a part though cos ive blatently got experience from when i was in the background pretneding to have a conversation on the news last year.
(I think i've babbled on abit)

When I was watching the filming there was a woman there too and she took her dog and walked past the camera just to be in shot. It was actually really funny the way she did it. :lol: My dad wanted me to walk past with him too.

I would be one of jack's lovers in a flashback, preferably in a bedroom scene
or one of those up against the wall scenes that he seems to like so much.
And I would keep messing up so we would have to re-do it again and again.
er4lyf
24th June 2009, 08:48
I'ld be any thing or anyone, just to be on set and be able to watch Jack and Janto.
I do drama so i would play any part at all but i rekon a villain or monster would be cool.
As long as i get to flirt with Jack and Janto. :blusher:

Or maybe a scared and alone girl and Ianto just help's me and ask me if I'm okay awwww *Keep dreaming*
squint
28th June 2009, 13:27
A mini Ianto *grins* If the gang were to meet with another Torchwood crew, or some police crew, and then there I would be, the assistant that comes running with a cup of coffee and the jacket saying "sorry I'm late sir", or maybe "miss". And then the others would stare, maybe raise an eyebrow, before carrying on the conversation. And that would be it. ;)
Or, you know, a flash back scene like was mentioned before could work too. *tilts head and smiles innocently*

TheLizardQueen
3rd July 2009, 16:39
i'd be the insignificant one who wanders through the episode unnoticed until the end where i save the world and everyone loves me :grin:
OR i'd be the one in the first 5 mins before the main titles who gets killed by the alien, cos then i'd get to scream and show off my vocal cords :lol2:
Yes, people, i really do think like this... :blusher:
