Although my own IMDB entry currently consists of my behind-the-scenes contributions, I actually spent my first time in front of the camera a few months ago for a day’s worth of bluescreen work. Can’t really talk about it much, but when it comes out I’ll be able to tell you what it is. For now, all I can say is (a) it’s a sequel (sort of), (b) I had to wear a special costume, and © I didn’t have any speaking lines. ---

I was in a documentary about the 2000 elections in Kosovo. I’m in the room when they are announcing the results. I only know about this, because I saw caught a glimpse of the movie on TV in Peru. I don’t know the name of the movie, but it had a lot about young people doing drugs with the elections as a backdrop. I turned on the TV in Lima and a former colleague of mine was on screen, it was a strange day. ---

I’m not in a movie, but my father was an extra in **Sweet Liberty**. You can see him in the end credits, when they freeze frame on Alan Alda – he’s very prominent. ---

I’ve been in or involved in all sorts of stuff my boyfriend has worked on, but you’re pretty unlikely to have seen any of it. When I was in middle school, my mom and I were featured extras in _Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken_, which is a Disney movie about high diving horses. When they’re on their way to Atlantic City, they pass a broken down camp of migrants. You see two people (sort of silhouetted against the sun) - the blonde girl is me, the other one is my mother. It was really eye opening, how much effort was put into this little bit of screen business you can barely see. I mean, there were smoke pellets for our fire, we had elaborate costumes, we had beans we were dishing out and pretending to eat, and you can barely even see us in the movie! So I have these weird Social Security summaries - I have, like, five hundred bucks for 1991, and then nothing for years. ---

You’ll never be able to find me, but I’m in **Rattle and Hum.** Well, yeah, ok so I was in the crowd at the Fort Worth show when they shot the BB King stuff, but if you look over his shoulder up to the crowd up in the first tier at the Tarrant County Convention Center I’m riiiiiiiiight… _there_. ---

None, though my brother and his wife were in some Costner move that was made last year. Swing Vote, I think. About a month ago I was in a small town where a good number of residents have been extras in several films. One night I was sitting in the local movie theatre where I was talking to a couple who were extras in a scene shot in that very theatre. When the movie came out, it played in that theatre. And of course the extras went to see it. So they were in a theatre watching a movie of themselves in that theatre watching a movie. Every now and then someone would shout “Hey, there’s Bill! Lookin’ good, Bill!” ---

My fingers are in an episode of _Kung Fu: The Legend Continues_ because there was a fake shop sign covering up a real shop sign and it kept sliding off, so I had to hide and hold it. And my feet are in some movie that had someone from the Nikita TV series in it. They were supposed to do one of those “dark, ominous figure skulking through the shadows of an alley” kind of shots. I don’t know what the issue was but the actual actor was not on set and the clock was ticking. I was wearing the right color pants and could fit the actor’s shoes that the nice wardrobe lady was holding. So they did a close up of “ominous feet walking on the moist pavement of a dark alley”. They didn’t give me a credit for “Feet” or anything! :mad: And I did a really good “ominous feet” performance, IMHO. Very ominous were my feet! ---

I’m part of the background crowd in _Dave_, which I have never seen. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be discernible in frame. This was before an Oriole’s game at Camden Yards. They filmed Kevin Cline as POTUS throwing out the first pitch. Not much, but it’s all I got. ---

I’m seen in the background in the bar scene in last Sunday’s episode of True Blood. Still trying to get a still from it. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-movie-s-are-you-in/500696.md?page=2)
