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?

low speed drive-byOn New Year's Eve there was a police chase that continued into a very crowded shopping area in my town. An innocent bystander was shot by police, and the town was furious. The next day I was driving through the intersection where this occurred, and I saw a news crew filming a live report. While the light was red I had time to figure out that I would be driving right across the frame in a moment, just as the reporter started talking. So I started driving through the intersection very slowly, with my window down, staring at the camera and nearly stopping.
Sadly it was the worst local news station and none of my friends saw the report - they're not the type to be home watching the news at 11PM anyway.
I also made the front page of the NY Times sports section several years back, while walking past the national champion cross-country runner. My mom kept a copy for a little while.
