Velvet Goldmine

Here is a little Placebo related stuff about the movie Velvet Goldmine. It was Brian who originally auditioned for a part in the movie, begging director Todd Hayes for any role he could get. He got the part of Malcolm, the lead singer of the glam rock band The Flaming Creatures, while Steve scored the part of Billy, the drummer of the same band. Stefan has a less visible role in the film as the bass player in the Polly Small band (look hard - you'll find him).
The movie itself is a wonderful look at glam culture, exploring the life of the fictional character Brian Slade (played by Jonathan Rhyse Meyers and loosely based on David Bowie). I would highly recommend seeing the film, and not just for the Placebo footage.

I'm still trying to find a picture of Stefan in the film, but no luck so far...
