BitPartDamaged

A bit part is a supporting acting role with at least one line of dialogue (a supporting role with no dialogue is called a walk-on). In British television, bit parts are referred to as under sixes (fewer than six spoken lines). An actor who regularly performs in bit roles, either as a hobby or to earn a living, is referred to as a bit player, a term also used to describe an aspiring actor who has not yet broken into major supporting or leading roles.
