I am friendly. I don't look like my picture. Hey, the picture changes regularly-ish but I rarely look like it. I'm an actor. I like pretending to be other people. I'm lucky - I get paid for it! Actually it's become a fetish. Perhaps I'm hiding - from myself ! heh heh heh.....Regarding My SPACE (Baby) it's MINE ALL MINE : I hand-pick all my friends, I check out all friend requests and if I don't like your music (this is for the bands and musicians not the punters!) I won't add you. Nothing personal, but I am (partly) judged by my tastes. If you check my friends you will see they are wide-ranging and cover every genre of music. I like listening to them all. But : I gotta LIKE it to add it. Fair enough surely he appealed to the audience but there was no reply. I can be overwhelmingly generous to those I do like however !! Gonna have to trust me on that one.... ** ** ** **My other website (not run by me, but recommended all the same is at www.queen-of-outer-space.com/ralph.htm for biography, film, TV and writing work........................................................ ............................................................ ..............OK I WILL write a proper profile here one day, or someone else will....but for now I'm afraid, the deranged ramblings of the terminally over-sensitive thick-skinned intellectual stupidity that is me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me moi moi moi moi moi moi moi moi moi moi moi je je je je je je je je je je je je je je je je ich ich ich ich ich ich ich ich ich ich ich ich ich ich ich ich yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo I I I I I I I I I I I I I * an I for an I * * * * I am what I am* I am therefore I am* I think therefore I am* I drink therefore I am* So. that's enough from me. How about you ? What do you think of me ? The Big I AM. I and I ========= What's it all about RAlphie ? Is it just for the moment we live ? What's it all about, when you work it out RAlphie ? Are we supposed to take more than we give ? or are we meant to be kind? And if only fools are kind, RAlfie, then I guess it's wise to be cruel. And if life belongs only to the strong, RAlfie, what will you lend on an old golden rule? As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, RAlfie, I know there's something much more, something even non-believers can believe in. I believe in love, RAlfie. Without true love we just exist, RAlfie. Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing,RAlfie. When you walk let your heart lead the way and you'll find love any day, RAlfie, RAlfie Ralphie Ralphy.....********....**** ...................and if you read this far congratulations dear reader for here is a brief precis resume cv of My So-Called Life : born in Cambridge to an undergraduate and his wife John and Heather my parents are both from Portsmouth. Brought up in the Sussex countryside. Schooled in Lewes (see bonfire in videos). University at LSE - LLB a Law Degree 1979. Then bummed around in a serious manner for 5 years, travelled to Mexico, caught Hepatitus B, worked in the Scala Cinema all-nighter during the Blitz Kids years, squatted, shagged, took speed etc. Became an actor age 25 on tour with Moving Parts Theatre Company. First professional job after that Steven Berkoff's WEST at the Donmar followed by Royal Court, RSC, Tricycle, Joint Stock, Liverpool Everyman. Last time I was seriously on stage as an actor was 1989. TV work too numerous to mention kicked in early 80s with The Bill, Touch of Frost, Ivanhoe, Lock Stock, Place of the Dead, A Respectable Trade, Lawless, Nighty Night, Cold Blood, NCS Crime Squad, Between The Lines, Spooks, Big Dippers, The Flood, Life On Mars, Cape Wrath, currently shooting The Cut series for C4. Film :- Withnail and I, Buster (Ronnie Biggs), Diamond Skulls, The Crying Game, Impromptu (Eugene Delacroix), Alien 3 (Aaron), Undercover Blues, Wayne's World 2, Up 'N' Under, Amistad, Star Wars Phantom Menace, I'll Be There, Mean Machine, Exorcist Dominion, Stoned, The Contracter, Bridge Of Lies and so on..... I have written two plays "Sanctuary" which won the Samuel Beckett Award in 1986 and The House That Crack Built which has never been performed. I have written 5 screenplays, one of which - "New Year's Day" - was shot in 1999 and released in 2001, winning the Raindance Film Festival and Sapporo Film Festivals in that year. The other four films remain unproduced to date, although one of them - "Red Light Runners" - managed to get four weeks into the shoot with a lovely cast (Mike Madsen, Harvey Keitel, Crispin Glover, Roy Scheider, Cillian Murphy, Kate Ashfield, Tricky, Rich Hall, Peter O Toole, and er...me) and a great director Mr Nick Egan before the producers inexplicably closed the film down (for re-financing yeah right) and no-one got paid {except the American actors} Bollocks to that !! so no more writing from me, just yet, concentrating on acting and - MUSIC......I am in two bands, The Brighton Beach Boys, see below in friends, and Butterfly McQueen who are incredible but unrecorded in any space dotcom. Thanks for reading this far, I have been and continue to be Ralph Brown, and I am grateful frankly at this stage of the century for your interest. For more spiritual and personal matters, I have become involved in an inspiring project in Khayelitsha Township, Cape Town, after working there in February 06, for those who don't know Khayelitsha, it is a huge township not unlike Soweto on the east side of Cape Town. The project is a model community attempting to be a self-sufficient organic place of healing. There are currently some 30+ HIV orphans billeted with familes in the area who are fed clothed and educated by the Ndlovu Centre. A clinic is being built as you read this, for educating young healers into the traditional wisdom and with a modern HIV clinic upstairs. If you feel depressed about your life ever, just click here, get involved and take them blues away...http://www.shaster.org.za/ PS : I recommend you smoke some more grass. /

My Interests

.. width="425" height="350" .. I'm a bit of a workaholic. Being primarily an actor it means I live to work rather than work to live. Been round the block a few times, plugging away for 25 years and in 2007 I'm gonna be another overnight success, feels like the scales have finally tipped in my favour workwise. Loads of great stuff coming out next year...Hmmmm....I suppose music is my first love, I expect my wife to be my last... My other interests apart from the obvious stuff.... Film. I have a passion for good cinema and have been priveleged to be involved in some great films myself. Politics. Always been politically motivated, and have been a bit of an agitator. Football. Brighton and Hove Albion FC "The Seagulls". I'm a season ticket holder. Butterflies. Spotting them in the wild, and if possible, photographing them. Walking. People. Literature. Other cultures. Playing music.

I'd like to meet:

although I search myself it's always someone else I see........yeah too deep ok, .................................ok! I'd like to meet Konnie Huq.... And Nelson Mandela obviously ! but it's tricky to meet your heroes, they might not match up to your internal image/fantasy/projection. I have met some of mine : Bowie (matched up) Speilberg (matched up) Viv Stanshall (matched up) and McCartney (matched up) so clearly I don't know what I'm talking about. There's a surprise then. We can all be heroes and not just for one day......===== .........................................HALL OF FAME.................................................

==================================================== Below these small jokes is a video from the great ARCADE FIRE - a song from their first album FUNERAL. Before that is a video of DAVID BOWIE singing FIVE YEARS with THE ARCADE FIRE live. And the LIFE ON MARS video. The BOWIE one !!! And then, after searching the glory that is youtube, a LIVE FILM of Roxy Music with Brian Eno from 1973 (from the time when I saw them in Brighton) tremendous band. And then below that are my Friends. It should be noted by the short of hair that my best friends in Real Life and my Top Friends on myspace DO overlap, but only just. My real friends are in the following pages. I'm afraid I am shallow enough to pick my Top Friends from those who have brightly-coloured and spangly pictures, thus keeping in the spirit of hurt-your-eyes poptasticity which the rest of this so-called "page" indulges in. Some of my mate's bands are in TOP FRIENDS though, and I recommend them highly, because they are fantastic, and if they weren't then they truly wouldn't be here.................... ..............................

If you read this far, god help you, you've got time,and bless you 4ever....but these are a group of people who DO NOT TOUCH MY SOUL JAH RASTAFARI..........starting with the hugely over-rated Johnny Cash - what is this about - the guy couldn't sing, or write decent songs. In his first song he wrote "I killed a man in Reno just to watch him die" Yeah, Johnny, really cool you big wannabe. Every time he played the song at some prison (where he secretly got a hard-on I expect) the inmates would cheer that line. Would someone explain to me exactly what is so cool about that, and indeed him? Fuck off Johnny Cash !! Right Rant over.......now who's left ? OK U2 can eff off. One good song. The end. 50 Cent is a qumqwatt. Great beats as ever from Dre, but the raps are dry. I don't like Tom Jones, despite being a quarter Welsh myself (!) Overcooked belting like that doesn't do it for me (although I have a soft spot for Young New Mexican Puppeteer!!) I don't like Guns n Roses, Kiss, AC/DC, Iron Maiden or other never-grew-out-of-early-adolescence cock rock. I don't like irony either unless it's Randy Newman, who is a genius, the end. OK Head battering over, relax, take another sip of tea, puff some weed and b r e a t h e . . . OK album covers = an artist that I like and that I play a lot.........and includesthese

That's the guy whose picture was at the top of this page, is now in photos somewhere, the most well-known character I have played "Danny" the dealer from the motion picture film 'Withnail and I". But you knew that anyway. I repeat for the hard of hearing and slow of reflex.
