Michael Rodd. ScreenTest, then...

Tomorrow's World. Then he started his own production company advising companies how to use new technologies.

[croissant]

Justin Lee Collins. He got abusive with his ex, she took him to court and ruined him.

Pat Sharp from Funhouse doesn’t seem to do much these days.

Has a radio show

Hasn't appeared on my radar before but someone with the same name does a show on Now 70's (or could be 80's/90's) on SKY playing compilations of music vids.

I'd heard Lee Evans had effectively retired from performing, maybe temporarily,
but he can't be short of a bawbee or two, multiple massive stadia tours and
associated DVDs.are rather lucrative and he doesn't seem the type of lad to
piss his fortune away on lear jets, hookers and magic powder.

He appeared in the papers last week, photographed whilst out jogging near his home.
I googled him and learnt he quit the business when his manager suddenly died, so he could spend time with his family.
Hasn't really been seen since.

Lee Mack has been mentioned on here. He's staring in a new TV series called The Chop

His own fault really.

Whilst having a clearout I found a copy of 'The Girls of FHM', from 1997.

There are some names who are still around (and nice NSFW pics of them), but others whose names may mean something to men of a certain age (in no particular order):

Jenny McCarthy
Melanie Sykes
Louise (ex Nurding/ Redknapp)
Angelica Bridges
Emma Harrison
Denise van Outen
Rhona Mitra
Caprice
Melinda Messenger
Carmen Electra
Sophie Anderton
Tina Hobley
Melissa George
Donna Air

Rhod Gilbert, don't see him much anymore

Denise Van Outen is a regular on celeb Gogglebox

Donna Air was on The Chase not too long ago, she looks and sounds completely different

Rhod is touring (or rather was, before coronavirus). Prior to that he was on Taskmaster a year or so ago.

...or the lovely twins.

I'm pretty sure they were mentioned earlier in this one and I'm sure I replied with the same but you can rent the twins out if you so desire.

Donna Air has turned to more of an acting role role nowadays - she was in the excellent Split recently.

Simon Thomas

I had to look up who this is and then looked at his IMDB ,latest thing is an uncredited appearance as "audience member"

on Strictly 2019 ....

Audience member...LOL .

Do the c'lebs themselves edit their IMDB profiles (or agents etc), I always assumed the IMDB people did that sort of thing, putting the credits etc in.
That said, I've noted in the past I've been watching something and gone to IMDB to find out where I've seen an actor before, only to find that for the thing I'm watching they aren't credited in IMDB for it, even if it's fairly major role in whatever I'm watching.

I appeared in a docu once, and I have an IMDB profile that just appeared out of the blue.

Cheers, maybe it just takes a while for it to catch up or something.

There's also "Rhod Gilbert's Work Experience" which is into its 9th series now, which reminds me, I still need to watch the "Road Workers" one.
