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?

Legend of Billie JeanThis movie was shot in my town, Corpus Christi Texas, when I was in high school - most of the girls in school got paid 15 bucks each to sport the crappy hairstyle featured in the movie, and when they were shooting a chase scene in the Padre-Staples mall, I decided to skip school and watch it.
I was standing off to one side of the shooting when one of the production people came up to me and yelled 'YOU! COME OVER HERE!' (even though I was standing right in front of him, he had to shout at me... I was baked to the tits and not very responsive) so I ambled over to where he was pointing and watched the show from there.
In the movie, right after they've all run down the escalator with the waterfall, the lead chick runs right past me. I'm on screen for maybe 3/4 of a second.
Needless to say, my command performance didn't make me any money, get me laid, or open any career doors. I also got detention for ditching school. Bah.
