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?

Midsomer Murderstwice now, the first one was called "Orchis Fatalis", and the last one required me to "Let your facial hair grow a bit, they need shady charactors for pub scenes, so we need you looking a little scruffy"
Right, so just be normal then.
Off I go sporting the most magnificent designer stubble you could imagine, turn up and "Oh we need to have you shaved now" so off I go into one of the portable cabin thingys, who is in there but "John Nettles" ( the *cough* "star" of it ) having his makeup done.
Now Johnny has a wee rep about the place for being a bit of a snoot, likes to be left alone and not spoken to by rabble such as me. The girl was shaving away so as I lay back I felt it fitting to boom: "IT'S TOUGH AT THE TOP, JOHN!!!"
It didn't go down that well. He was putting clear eyes in and almost stabbed himself.
Anyway you get very well fed and earn £55. I had lunch with a bloke who played Grandpa Joe's brother in "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory", so it really was a whos who kind of thing
