Did you know of Doctor May's other career when you were watching him on the show?

Makes you wonder how many seemingly nondescript people on shows and podcasts are actually superstars in some unrelated field.

Not exactly non descript but Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of heavy metal band Iron Maiden sidelined as a commercial pilot for a charter airline.

Also an accomplished fencer; the article mentions he's done fairly well in European tournaments!

IIRC he often took part in flying the band's 747, called Ed Force One.

If you ever flew KLM, your pilot might've been the king.
