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?

portuguese tvthere's a bar in Lisbon in a fancy new built area by an arena thingy that my mate took me and a few friends to one night during the last world cup.
Us girls are sitting there, one of our numbers getting wildly sloshed, when a TV crew arrives in the bar, along with a massive Brazillian drum and steel band. They're broadcasting LIVE from "one of Lisbon's most fashionable bars" a programme about the world cup. The presenter sees a bunch of blonde and redhaired girls (us), and figures we'll make an interesting background.
Interesting. Yes.
My rat-arsed friend then proceeds to subtly flip the bird with an evil grin on her face at the camera every time the presenter turns his back, then goes back to chatting to us when he looks. We all slowly begin to move our bar stools away from her, utterly unaware until I look over my shoulder, that there is a HUGE screen broadcasting this channel opposite the bar, in the direction of the presenter, who is fully aware of everything.
After the broadcast he tried to have a go at us, but my portuguese friend pretended to be English and 'couldn't understand mate'.
Bird-flipper is now an officer of the law. I make no comment.
