Not every actor on stage or screen takes on a lead or supporting role. There are roles for bit parts, cameos and extras, depending on the requirements of the story. For this reason, bit players and extras create supporting presences along with supporting leads. Sometimes bit players can steal the scene and eventually be recognized by talent managers within or outside the film studio or repertory and they get the break to have meatier roles in future production. A resume in this position can be supported by a portfolio of bit parts in previous productions along with high school stage plays.
