The Production Assistant, or PA, is essentially a "go-fer", responding to whatever demands for miscellaneous props, labor, etc. the filmmakers have.
The Top Signs the PA May Be a Spy

- All the on-set trailers have been replaced with featureless vans.
- Unplanned explosion sequences keep interrupting the wedding scene.
- Shreds the budget and keeps blacking out sections of the script that are "classified". (No wait, that's signs he works for the studio.)
- Knows 27 ways to kill you with a coffee stirrer.
- You have to go to the third stall and look behind the toilet to find the script revisions.
- It's a single-location film with unknown actors but the budget is $200 million and the king of the country just died of "the flu."
- When the director of the haunted-house movie asks for more spooks, twenty nondescript guys in black suits and sunglasses show up.
- Critic who wrote negative review of advance screening killed in a mysterious one-car accident.
