Collingwood’s Travis Cloke, Cameron Wood, Alan Toovey and Tyson Goldsack will make their acting debut tonight on Neighbours.

The four Magpies went down to the studios in Nunawading in early July where they were taken on a tour of the studios by cast member James Mason who plays Chris Pappas in the show and is also a big Collingwood fan.

They visited sets including Harrold’s Store, the Kennedy’s Lounge Room, Charlies Bar and Lasiters Cafe.  

Wood said it was surreal seeing the places he’s seen so many times on TV.  

"Everything looked much smaller than on TV but it was really exciting to see everything and to stand in the sets where they film the scenes."  

The four players were required to act as extras in two scenes which were located in the gym.

Each player ‘worked out’ on a different piece of gym equipment in the scenes, which took nearly two hours to film.   The players made it through the two scenes with Wood only laughing in the middle of a take once.

The episode will air tonight on Channel 11 at 6.30pm (AEST)

Below is the review of the episode from ‘The Age’s’ Green Guide.

“According to the PR guff, this is the episode in which four Collingwood players try their hand at ''acting''. Clearly, it was a failed experiment because - hilariously - their only onscreen moment is as eye candy in the local gym. Even funnier, given that working out in a gym is something that should come pretty naturally to these lads, rarely have four extras presented such a uniformly wooden appearance. Fortunately, elsewhere there is actually some acting going on and it's always encouraging to tune in to Neighbours in its new home and see some quality soap under way.”

You can tell it's not the first time these two Pies have had their makeup touched up.
