I got featured as a cooling technician in a film unknowingly

We had just arrived at the destination when we found out it was a movie set. They were shooting at a certain auditorium and the cooling equipment had malfunctioned. The director had okayed the local service provider to perform a quality AC service on the cooling system while they shot their film. The stage director would ensure the cameras did not capture us while we were working. The electric heat pump had been making weird noises before it eventually stopped working. The air quality left a lot to be desired because the unit was emitting warm air. When we arrived, we were assigned a person to help give us information about the unit including the date of HVAC installation. We started by examining the unit and discovered a faulty component which we replaced. The HVAC contractor that did the fitting had left a sticker on the unit, indicating the cooling corporation he was from. I had brought with me two cooling specialists to analyze the cooling technology. While cleaning the system, I got a chance to check out the film. They were shooting a hospital scene. The actors looked like they were injured, the makeup made the injuries look so real. While testing the climate control device, we discovered that it was also not working. From the request of our customer, we upgraded it to a digital thermostat that would help with indoor comfort. As the senior cooling technician, it was our custom at the HVAC business, to advise the customer on proper maintenance of the unit. Later when the movie was released, I saw myself as an extra. It was not intended but it happened and I looked like I was meant to be an extra.
