In the comedy film 'The Three Bears,' Andre rode a bicycle which featured in the classic British crime caper, The League of Gentlemen (1960).
At their first meeting, Andre mentioned his love and obsession for the film star Gloria Grahame to his partner. She replied, "I'm just a girl who Cain't Say No." They've been together ever since.
Andre's favourite film is The Third Man (1949). He has done the tour, got the T-shirt, and of course recited the 'Cuckoo clock' speech on the Prater Ferris Wheel in Vienna.
Following a chance meeting with Jetsun Pema sister to H.H. The Dalai Lama, Andre taught for a year at The Tibetan Children's Village in Dharmsala, Northern India. He still visits occasionally.
