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?

I wasn't strictly in the background.The BBC produced a play called 'Needle' in the early 90's about the drug problem in Liverpool and starred Andrew 'Scully' Schofield.
The BBC used our living room as the set for one of the scenes, featuring Mr. Schofield making a call from the armchair. A later shot featured him coming out of the house and climbing into the back of a van full of baseball bat-wielding vigilantes.
We were paid £50 for the use of the house. Where was I during the filming? Upstairs, asleep in bed. What? Well I was in sixth form AND it was filmed at 8:30 in the morning! Mr. Schofield is a very polite man, incidentally.
Does this count?
