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?

I was a "Cop" extra in a film...I was an extra in a film - I was a policeman. One Sunday morning, we were filming in the inner-city of Dublin. I was late and hungover, and The unit base was about a mile away from the set. I had missed the crew bus, so I had no option but to run through the streets of Dublin - dressed as a cop - looking for the set. After 5 minutes I say two other people in police uniforms. I ran up and said "Hi! How's it going? What are we doing today?". They looked blankly at each other. "You know? Where are we shooting?" I said. I didn't realise that I'd stumbled across two REAL cops until one asked incredulously "Have you MADE your own uniform?". Turns out I was nowhere near the set, and they had no idea there was even a film being made. I just made my excuses and ran off. Suprisingly, they let me go.
