Not for me, but a mate has been in at least one (and I think several) adds. He's into ancient warfare and has his own swords, shields etc and makes his own costumes and boots etc. I know there was one with the theme of ancient Rome in the modern world. I was supposedly set in London and/or NY but was shot in Sydney, including one scene at the Cenotaph in Hyde Park. However, he hasn't had a speaking part.
He also helped provide entertainment at an 'A list' party at the Sydney Olympics which was held in the Powerhouse Museum, or was it the Australia Museum (I forget now). After the show Ian Thorpe spent the night dancing in my mate's Roman tunic. It must have been a very tight fit! I suggested that he wring out the sweat (there was plenty) and sell it on ebay.
BTW when filming at the Cenotaph they had an actor, dressed as a Roman, at the front addressing the crowd (all the extras). On one take he fluffed his lines so he dropped into "You are all individuals.." All the extras replied, in perfect synchronisation, "I'm not." Then everyone fell over laughing.
