Shane Rimmer, the voice of Scott Tracy from Thunderbirds and numerous other Gerry Anderson series, has signed a contract with Reynolds & Hearn to publish his autobiography. Thunderbirds To Bond and Beyond will be launched in October 2010 to coincide with Fanderson's TV21 Convention in Bristol, which Rimmer will be attending as one of the headline guests. It is hoped that copies will be made available to be signed at the event.

Shane Rimmer has had a long and varied association with Gerry Anderson shows. As well as voicing the eldest Tracy brother, he voiced parts in Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons and Joe 90, as well as the eponymous gumshoe in the Dick Spanner stop-motion animated series of the late eighties. He also appeared onscreen in UFO and The Protectors, and guest-starred as the ill-fated astronaut Kelly in the Space:1999 episode Space Brain.

A seemingly ever-present supporting actor in the world of cult film and TV, Rimmer has appeared in several Bond and Superman films, as well as classics such as Dr Strangelove, The Bedford Incident and Star Wars. He appeared briefly in Batman Begins in 2005.
