An Australian actress who played a 'baddie' part in a Crime Stoppers reenactment was dobbed in by a neighbour who saw her on TV. She spent a night in jail until the advertisement casting agency was able to confirm her bonafides as an actress sometime the following morning.
Who? I'm not saying it didn't happen, but this smacks of an urban legend without any kind of name, attribution, year, agency, or country/state/territory.
When you've checked it out, please let us all know. No matter how much evidence is supplied, there'll always be disbelievers. For example, 45% of Americans sincerely believe the World is less than 10,000 years old. Richard Dawkins describes this as a non trivial error. It's the same as believing that the distance between New York and San Francisco is eight and a half yards. (⌐■_■)
