Extra (actor)

Okay kiddo, let me explain what an extra actor is. Do you remember when we watched that movie together? There were all kinds of people in the background that weren't the main characters. Those people are called extra actors. They don't have any lines or any big parts, but they help make the movie look more realistic by being in the background doing things as if it’s a real place.

Sometimes, they might have to pretend they are talking to each other or walking around. Extra actors can be anyone who wants to be in a movie or TV show, they just need to have the right look or fit the scene. They often stand around for hours on set waiting for their turn to do their small part in the scene.

The important thing is that even if they are just extras, they are still helping to make the movie or TV show better by making it seem like a real place with lots of people around. So, when you see extras in a movie or TV show, remember that they are an important part of what makes it all come together.
