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?

"Superman 4"...was filmed at my school.
Obviously not all of it, but certain bits. When the kid is in school thinking about writing a letter to superman, he was actually in MY science class at the time. I recall they had to position coats and bags strategically as US schools didn't have gas taps on their benches, unlike ours. We weren't invloved until later though...when Superman comes to get the kid, interrupting an american football game, that was MY playing field. We had rugby goalposts which was lucky as they passed for american football goals quite well. Everyone in my year got paid £10 to be the crowd watching the game...some of us were supplied with BMX bikes to ride around (but not keep, alas). I haven't sat through the film for years, but suffice to say, if you analze the crowds in that scene, you might see the backs of me or quite possibly some of my chums. It was a no brainer back then - get paid £10 to stand around all day whilst Christopher Reeve dangled overhead, suspended by a heavy duty wire attatched to a large crane (sorry to spoil the magic). Some girls kept shouting 'CHRIS!!!' until the production crew told them to shut up.
