How's that for a catchy thread title !!!!! 
Now the real version:
Yes I was eating lunch and yes there was a BSG cast member in the tiny pub with me. To get the important part out of the way first, the BSG cast member was Audry Landers.
Audry Landers, Huh??? (.... BSG triva fans brains in over time.)
I went to lunch today in a tiny little pub that I've been a regular at for over 20 years. I always go at 11AM because there usually not more than a couple of patrons and I can get in and out and back to work in an hour.
Well I walked into today and the place was full of people and it only took two seconds to recognize tht it was a being used as a movie set. I was the only one in the place actually there to eat lunch. I found an empty seat way down at the end of the bar out of the way and ordered my food and a soda. As I sat there talking to a couple of the employees watching the show, the director's assistant came over and asked if we'd like to be extras in the movie.
Well, heck yeah!
He just wanted the three of us to move around to the opposite end of the bar so that we could be in the background.
The hard part was that I was supposed to act like a customer eating lunch. It was difficult at first but then I reached deep inside and pulled out all of my memories of being a customer eating lunch. Ahhhhhhh! I can already feel an Oscar performance in the making and munching.
Pretty much fun for the duration. The only bad part was that because of my positioning in the shots I couldn't leave once they start doing the rehersal takes and leading up to the real take. They shot the same scene from four different camera positions and at some point the shot panned across our location in each of the different versions.
My one hour lunch lasted almost three hours. Good thing I'm the boss.
