I met him about 5 yrs ago at my school in NY around Halloween weekend when he came to do a lecture on his book. The lecture was kind of dry but afterwards when I met him, he was easy going and nice. Got his autograph. He signed it "See you in Hell! Doug Bradley" LOL

yeah i thought it was16d0 him!

I suppose few people recognise him without his pinhead make up on. I suppose it's a double edged sword. He can still have his private life when he needs it, but he has to wear a darn pinhead mask at conventions and such like when he wants people to talk to him.
It was nice you bought him a coffee though.

Haha! also the guy who played Frank in the first Hellraiser is the narrater of that show 'It's me or the dog'!
I met Doug Bradley at collectormania and no one was at his table so me and my mate bought him a coffe and we were chatting to him for ages! hes such a nice guy!
Good evening your majesty! I can see your pants from here!

I saw it too and at the main bus shelter in the town i live in had his face on it for 3 weeks it was bl00dy bizarre!!
I think he may be doing the ads to raise money for the indie films he seems to be doing at the moment. his official website had something asking for donations from fans to finance a film and in return they get their name in the credits at the end.
"what do we do now?"
"follow the rimmer shaped blur!"

Thank god for IMDB!!! I've just seen the advert and came straight on here. I thought 'Pinhead, selling car insurance! No!!!'

I thought it was him!!

Yeah I loved that I recognised him and knew he, of course, isn't a gym coach or PE teacher w/e he was supposed to be, ha!

There is a big poster of Doug Bradley for Direct Line near where I live. It is quite surreal. He's in the new series of 'No Angels' too. Nice to see he's getting some work. I wonder what Clive Barker would think to it?

You have to earn a living!

Is he that skint that he is doing adverts now?

i saw it and was saying to people "it's doug bradley"
i was surprised..he's one of like 10 just random people..if you didnt know you'd think he was just some guy off the street.
at least we know he'll do more hellraisers

Good to know. My husband kept saying it was him and now I can atleast stop arguing about it. "He will tear your Direct Line insurance policy apart!!" Funny.
You can tell your stepdad to tell Mr. Bradley that he has added a new dimention to my car insurance now. How to turn car insurance into something a lot darker than it already is!!
Cool.

Yes! yes! He will tear your Direct Line Insurance policy apart! I don't know how to react - he's pretty anonymous in this UK TV advert. Is it sad? No, he's still working as an actor, probably a six-figure deal with something like Direct Line. He won't go hungry.
You can take a horse to water, but you can't climb a ladder with a bell in both hands.
