An indulgence
For anyone who, like me, likes me or was simply confused by the plot development of my character in the number 7 US box office smash Shaun Of The Dead, I present: ZOMBIE TIMOTHY'S STORY
Here I am at the start of the movie, waiting to catch a bus to work in the morning (this never happens to me in real life - except when I made the film Shaun Of The Dead). I am wearing a Popjustice 'Botherd' badge.
At some point in the day I got bitten, lets say it was by a girl. With the last remnants of instinct left in my body I decide to go to the pub (possibly to do a pop quiz). These are my legs (trainers - actor's own).
It's my zombie face as viewed by the character of Ed played by cuddly funnyman Nick Frost.
Zombie Timothy is slightly annoyed at the lack of quiz action (either that or the Strongbow is off again) so decides to leave in a huff.
Till he spots the lady out of Ever Decreasing Circles and The Borrowers.
Bernard from Black Books smashes a window with a bin and me and Charlotte Hatherley's mum go and have a look.
Here Zombie Timothy is startled by the rash actions of Shaun played by reclusive genius Simon Pegg. He is definitely not trying to make sure he's visible in shot for when his mum goes to see the film.
The zombies have a disco. Aren't there a lot of us?
Zombie Timothy and his pal Zombie Lawrence poke their heads through the door to see what all the noise is only to be shot at by a man. Grrr.
Zombie Lawrence takes a bullet like Westwood.
Zombie Timothy takes a bullet like Tupac.
And Biggie.
And The Pope.
And, like The Pope, it does not kill him, since it has not destroyed the brain, enabling him to break down the door in a spectacular way which you would've seen had the film makers not had to edit out any scenes featuring the extra standing behind me because he was a cunt.
Just as crucifixes can ward off vampires so can hatstands deter a hungry zombie from biting Kate Ashfield even though she's really close.
This actually hurt Zombie Timothy quite a lot because it was a real hatstand and he had to fall on the floor several times as well. But he didn't mind. He's a zombie.
Zombie Timothy is trying to touch Simon Pegg on the arm.
Kate Ashfield runs away and jumps over the bar and Zombie Timothy and his mates chase her (quite slowly).
This is the last time you see Zombie Timothy before he is burned in a fire.
The end.
