Any body ever notice Phil Collins' movie roles? He was a kid in Chitty Chitty bang bang, and a spectator with a neck tie in A Hard Days night (Big Roles), that much I know. Anyone know any other roles?

If you could get some pics.

He did a film called "Buster."  Nevr saw it, but they say he was pretty good.

Actualy wasn't a bad film. About some low level criminal that got away with some crime in England. Not great but decent. Saw it once. He also played in one scene in Hook as a police inspector.

Wasn't he in "Roger Rabbit" and "Super Mario Brothers"? LOL

All them short balding Cockney types look the same to me.

I think he was in that Paul McCartney farce, too. But does it count if he played himself?

edit: I was thinking of "Give My Regards to Broad Street". IMDB doesn't list him in the film, but I could have sworn he was in it. Someone tell me I'm not hallucinating.

Don't forget Calamity the Cow...

Not to mention his unforgettable appearance in Miami Vice as cockney con man Phil the Shill.

And was it him or Bob Hoskins playing Harold Shand in The Long Good Friday?

Are they by any chance related? I think we should be told.

The film 'Buster' glosses over the fact that those lovable cockney tearaways and well known folk heroes left the driver of the train they robbed with irreperable brain damage, which killed the poor man a few years later. At the time of Buster, Phil Collins said that he'd been out with the failed criminal for a drink and got on well with him. You can tell a lot about a man from the company he keeps.
