Help: Background Check calling my Acting/Talent Agency I worked at 5 years ago?

Hi guys... need some help here.

I was completely honest on my background check, but this is worrying me alot. I accepted a FT offer at a top BB (GS or MS) and I had to list all my employment in the past 10 years. I worked at an acting agency for 2 years but agencies are really bad at keeping records and they did not confirm that I worked at the agency! I have emails with the agents as well as job gigs that confirmed I was working as an actor. Working in commercial acting has NOTHING to do with my current job now, do you think they would ding me for something 5 years ago, for a job completely unrelated?

It seems quite dumb that they would check even something so obviously unrelated to banking... but I am really really nervous. Thanks for your help
