Lewis Collins who most famously played Bodie in the late70s/early80s British action TV show The Professionals, used to work at the same hairdressers, Andre Bernard Salon, on Ranelagh Street in Liverpool, as Paul McCartney’s younger brother, Mike.
He was a drummer, and had been in a high school band The Renegades. He was at the McCartney home with Mike writing songs when Pete Best was dropped from The Beatles.
Mike McCartney suggested Collins as a possible replacement to Paul, but Lewis turned down the opportunity to audition for the Beatles, Collins opted to continue drumming on a more amateur basis, playing for a number of local bands, including The Eyes and The Georgians.
He quit hairdressing in 1964 to become the bass player for The Mojos, performing on their charting singles “Goodbye Dolly Gray” and “Until My Baby Comes Home”.
Obviously he was a true Professional

He was unsuccessful, and ended up retiring to Weston-super-Mare instead.
