Guest Sindar Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 You know, I don't recall reading/hearing about it anywhere? But then again, it wouldn't surpriseme - he's a very busy boy?Sezza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vicky Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 It was as a question on some game site, can't remember where. As I didn't know anything about it I was quite surprise when I saw the anwser, something like."Orlando had a small role in one of the episodes in the UK show, "Casualty" in 1994. But his performance wasn't credited"It's probably just a silly joke by someone because the other questions wasn't too correct. Like where he got his name from (Orlando Gibbons), the correct anwser would be Virginia Wolff's novel. One question was also about that German guy who claimed he was a friend of Orlando and that they had filmed to movies together (Deep Poll and one other)So it's probably not true when I think about it.Sorry for taking up yoour time and space..

Sunstar Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Orlando did appear in an episode of Casualty in 1994.Penny has scanned an article from The Daily Star on the OBM site today which mentions it and has a picture, although the article also includes some things which Orlando has not said.

Jan Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 He did state on one of the Graham Norton shows that he played a brief role as a self-mutilator on Casualty.Moving this to TV... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillymom Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Orlando did appear in an episode of Casualty in 1994.Penny has scanned an article from The Daily Star on the OBM site today which mentions it and has a picture, although the article also includes some things which Orlando has not said. "Blue Juice actress" is definitely one of the funniest mistakes so far It was the first Graham Norton appearance in 2002, "So Graham Norton" where Graham was asking Orlando about the start of his carieer. You can right-click and save the clip from here, it can take some time to load and it's originally from full-bloom.net. It's very funny!sillymom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 "Blue Juice actress" is definitely one of the funniest mistakes so far I'm pretty sure "Blue Juice" is another surfing movie, and Ewan McGregor ( ) is in it.I've never heard of this "Casualty" show before.

sillymom Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I've never heard of this "Casualty" show before. Interesting They show it even here in Finland, every day 9am or something like that. The early seasons were pretty , I'm not sure if it's got any better. I think they're still doing it. It's like a british version of ER but not as good. The funny thing is you can spot actors that have become much more famous afterwards. I saw one episode that had Kate Winslet or her sister (they look pretty much the same or at least used to look) in it. I remember one self-mutilator who had dark hair but who knows.those episodes were really old.sillymom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Well, I don't know where the heck I've been (oh yeah - registrations ) - but yesterday OBM posted a picture of Orlando from Casualty in 1994 (photo from the Daily Star).He was pretty darned cute even then.

Guest guitarchick Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 17 year old Orlando Thanks for sharing this, Jan, even though I had already seen it. He's still got those same big, beautiful eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest legomylegolas Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Okay.don't me but I am having a hard time finding Orlando in that picture. Don't get me wrong.he was very cute ...but I'm having trouble here. I guess he's just grown up A LOT since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireWine Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Yeah, don't get me wrong he is cute. But he is also kind of scary. I don't know why but he's a very un-nerving (sp?) in this picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akashalives Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I think he is very cute in the picture but he does look different. I think maybe it is because he has grown into his nose a bit. He was only 17 in the picture but I really think he looks really really cute . Mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Melanie1310 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Goodness, I didn't realise he was just 17 when he was in Casualty! Very cute but he definitely grown a lot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kathryn Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Hello I'm a newbie, I've been lurking for a while, but have the sudden urge to post on this thread as I think I remember seeing this episode of Casualty back in 1994.Now I'm only 21 now, so I would have been 11 then - my memory may not be perfect in this respect. Please forgive me if it turns out that I hallucinated this.I think that Orlando played a disturbed young man who self-mutilated because he'd been sexually assualted (can't remeber who by) and had never told anyone about it, until he told Charlie in the episode. Charlie was the sensitive senior nurse who got all the best scenes. Casualty was different from ER in that it was far more about the patients than the staff - each episode focused a lot more on the patients and why they ended up in hospital than ER does. There would be several scenes with the 'patients' before they were 'patients' - the trick was always to guess who was going to get hurt/sick, and how. Then you would see them interacting with the regular characters. So Orlando's role was probably more substantial than some of you might have thought. Having said that, the only scene I remeber was in the hospital, with Charlie, revealing the secret. It stuck in my mind because I was impressed by the intensity of Orlando's acting - I remember being impressed at the time, I'm not saying that because I'm an Orlando fan now. Erm, if it is Orlando that I'm thinking of! (I'm pretty sure that it is, I don't have a great memory for faces, but I seem to remember impressive cheekbones, and the intensity was very Orlando-esque).There have been quite a lot of famous actors guest starring in Casualty - Kate Winslet was in an episode, and a few others that are famous now but not when they were in it, so Orlando's in good company. Unfortunately the show has no been as good in recent years (in my opinion). After ER started it changed the format to become more like it - a real shame because as a British show it had a unique identity.Wow, this has turned into a very long post. I hope I haven't bored anyone! Kathryn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AshleighRose Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I have always been interested in Orlando's appearance in Casualty, as I used to watch the show when I was younger. and think it's great that he starred in it.Does anyone have any video clips of Orlando's part?I'd love to see him in it.

Dairwendan Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 You know, the lips just don't seem right. I think the pic must be some kind of screen capture. It looks like he's in the middle of speaking. But I think he's awfully cute in it as well. Man, I would LOVE to be able to see this performance!Dairwendan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotNoodle Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Thanks for the piccie, AshleighRose. So young and so very cute .
