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?

God Bless Sainsbury'swho decided that the village I ran a pub in, wanted to film a 50's style ad. Up they trot, luvvies and all, and proceed to enroll evryone they can lay they hands on.
Dressed up all as right twunts in 10 sizes to big clobber held in place with safety pins.
Stood around fer ages then put me an my g/f as "the village fete beersellers" in a tent at the edge of shot.
My moment of glory, about 0.00025 of a second of tent with aformentioned twunts stood in front!
Byt whayy hay!, the "directors" and "ad agency" rented pub off me for two days as "toilets", yeah right, they ran up a £300 bar tab, paid me an g/f £150 each for 2 days work, paid bar tab, paid rent (rent???) and then gave us all the food they'd brought for filming as the other pub landlord was a greasy tosser they hated!
All in all, about £1500 for 2 days of dossing! Sorted......
ps. and they even paid my staff costs to keep the pub open for them, I love Sainsbury's
