I was an extra in Spike Lee’s Malcolm X. I identified myself to a crew member as “just an extra”. “Don’t say that,” he said, “You’re a supporting player.” In the opera we’re called “supers” (as in supernumerary) – best seat in the house!
I don’t understand why people don’t want to hear an episode revealing the essential character of an insecure & lecherous 60 year old man who baits the hook with a promise of a tv role & then inflicts unwanted & unprotected sex on a 27 year old who reminds him of his daughter.
