Rude Boy

Before starring in Rude Boy, Ray Gange worked in a record shop in Soho, London, England. Gange knew of The Clash and was friends with Joe Strummer. The two met in a pub in Putney at a time when Strummer lived by Regent's Park.

While working at the record shop, Gange met David Mingay and learned that he was planning to make a film on the band. Mingay invited him to be in the film, but Gange was hesitant to join. Gange went to Strummer to ask about the film and learned that filming would indeed take place. After confirming the plans and receiving Strummer's own invitation, Gange finally agreed to participate in the film.

Gange was signed on to play a roadie. Since he had no prior experience, Bernie Rhodes gave him a job as a roadie on a Subway Sect tour for two weeks.
