i was the assistant to the exec producer and his office and mine were way down a hall at the end of the production offices, and quites far away, and on another level, from the soundstages.
my office had a window into the producers office (which was huge and had couches etc), so i could always see what was happening (i loved watching auditions.)
anyway, one day i came back to me desk from somewhere and some random guy was sitting at the exec producers desk, all relaxed and talking on the phone.
i walked out of my office and into that one and waited for this guy to acknowledge me. he put his hand over the receiver and said to me "yes? i am on a phone call..." and i replied "you are in the executive producers office." and he said "i'll just be a minute." I just looked at him, and he said to the person on the phone, like i was being rude, "i guess i have to go" and got off the phone.
I asked who he was and he said he was a background actor (like i was supposed to be impressed.) I told him the offices were private and he should probably not do that again.
I told the extras casting person later that day and she was just appalled. I am guessing he didn't get any more work from her, ever.
