While most of the acclaim for a successful television show or movie goes straight to the Botox-enhanced leading men and women, there are countless other actors and actresses that never get the glory.
They’re the people in the background who serve the main characters coffee during a pithy exchange of dialogue, they fill up high school hallways in the latest teen sex romp and they perform various other jobs that fill out the cinematic universe. Of course we’re talking about the extras, the barely noticeable denizens of the film world that perform the most thankless job on set.
