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?

a couple actually....well first off was being an extra in this Matt Dillon movie in Phnom Penh, Cambodia- "City of Ghosts" (rated 18)
Got to sit on the verandah of Gerard Depardieu's 'bar' drinking 'beer' (sadly not.. until we bought our own for a dollar per can from the bloke round the corner) for 10 days. Met the cast- Gerard is very large, Matt was quite friendly, and the lovely Natascha McElhone... was lovely.
In a later scene, I'm snogging some Finnish girl just over Matt's shoulder at a full-moon party (yay! celluloid love forever)
When i was a kid I was in this programme called "Wake Up London" on a sunday with two guys called 'the vicious boys' (is it me or does that sounds really dodgy in this day and age?)- the episode i was in was about playing chess- i wasn't very good at it.
And then of course, there was my two seconds of fame on Channel 4 news during the 1999 May Day Riot in London's financial district- £2bn of damage, and there was me wearing a gas mask and twirling luminous juggly things. Not really very anarchy, but lots of fun!
And finally.... a little bit on MTV once when they filmed at a club in Birmingham (Bakers) where i was henna tattooing clubbers who were too pilled up to be able to sit still.
