You're a moviestar babySetting up a 'greenscreen' at work got me thinking about the films and tv that I've accidentally been in.
Helena Bonham-Carter vehicle "The Heart of Me" was filmed in our old office, and features several of us peering through the curtains whilst they filmed in the square outside. Similarly, my girlfriend was in an episode of the Professionals that was filmed outside her house.
What have you been in the background of?

Songs of praiseOk, cheating a bit on the topic, as I did not appear in a movie, or in fact even on Songs of Praise.
I was in Cardiff with a friend for the 'Millennium', and on Jan 2nd, we left the youth hostel to go get some food in town. We walked past the Millennium Stadium where Songs of Praise was being recorded live. The stewarts told us "Come in, it's free", but we still went to get some food, and actually saw Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry parading for whatever reason. On our way back, we thought ah well, we've just seen the princes, and this is probably the only chance we'll have to see the stadium for free, so what the hell, let's go.
So there we were, witnessing Songs of Praise for 10 min or so.
Back at the hostel, later on, a woman comes up to me:
"Oooh, I saw you on telly! You were at the Millennium Stadium this afternoon, right?"
"Erm, yeah" (Just my luck, did I actually get filmed in it...)
"I saw you, you were wearing a red jacket, standing and singing"
So, thankfully, it was definitely not me, but I had a doppelganger singing at Songs of Praise, while I was there too. I never actually got to see what was shown on TV, but my friend did, and told me that girl singing definitely looked like me. I still find this spooky...
