This is a question You're a moviestar baby

Setting 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?

Woo! I was on TV. for ALL THE WRONG REASONS.
I was robbed at knifepoint by three aborigines in February this year at Blockbuster where I worked. The story goes like this, and I do apologise for length in advance.

round about 6:30, two of the cunts that robbed me come in, while theres other customers around, walk to the drink fridge and pull out a bottle of coke (from the drink fridge, you can see into the office, btw) quick glance out the back and he walks up to the counter to pay for it.

And then he goes "oh, i have no money." and I was like, yeah whatever, thought nothing of it. him and his mate walk out.

7:30, no one in the store, nor the entire fucking complex for that matter (thanks beckenham) and im phoning people up, asking where our unreturned videos are. in walks the two cunts that came in before, along with another cunt, and HE walks straight behind the counter and into the office, to which I said "hang on mate, that's staff on.....oh fuck" I then see the other two come in, and i proceed to jump over the counter, which is next to the door. I got one leg over, but by that time, cunts number 1 and 2 had already made their way round the back and pulled me back over. I hit the ground like a sack of shit, they hoist me up, one either side and say "Open the till, Open the till!!" to which I did, then cunt number 1 and 3, proceed to take all the money out of the till.

Cunt number 2 then grabs me and pushes me up against the wall, puts a knife to my throat and says "where is the rest of the money?? don't fuckin move, or i'll stab you, you cunt!" So i didn't, life is something i don't reeeeally like fucking with. By that time, a car had pulled up, the cunts get spooked and run out.

BUT

while cunt number 1 was in the back room, he was searching for the security tape, which he thought he found. He flicked up the lid of one of the VCR's to find "Blockbuster Loop Tape" written on it. and being the dumbass that he is, he took it, thinking it was the security tape. The security tape, which shows the entire incident in all it's glory, was given to the police, who apprehended (eventually) cunts 1, 2 & 3. and then the media got hold of it....

NOW. to bring me to the point of answering this question. That following saturday, i was headline news on all three major channels in Western Aus, 7, 9 and 10.

Woo, my inbox on my mobile was flooded, and I was famous for a couple of days.

PS: Cunt number 2 also stole my watch. Oh well, he's in prison now. haha
