1. Supporting actor

   A supporting actor is an actor who performs roles in a play or film other than that of the leads. These roles range from bit parts to secondary leads. They are sometimes but not necessarily character roles. A supporting actor must also use restraint not to upstage the main actor/actress in the play/movie. In earlier times these were often ethnic stereotypes. The title is usually specific to the performance, that is, a person may be a supporting actor in one film and the leading actor in the next. An individual who typically plays supporting roles is considered a character actor. In television, a day player refers to most performers with supporting speaking roles hired on a daily basis without long-term contracts. Supporting roles may be pivotal or vital to the story. In recognition of important nature of this work, the theater and film industries give separate awards to the Best Supporting Actor and actress. A supporting actor/actress can also be known as a 'sidekick' or 'the antagonist'.

Examples of supporting actor in a Sentence

1. Steven Spielberg:

   I'm a huge supporter of the Academy Awards, i was surprised at some of the individuals who were not nominated. I was surprised at [the exclusion of] Idris [Elba] — I was surprised at that. I think that was one of the best performances in the supporting actor and the actor category, was Idris. I've seen 'Straight Outta Compton' — my wife and I saw it when it first opened, the first weekend, and it just rocked our world. It was incredible. I was very surprised to see that omission.

2. Hampton Jr.:

   We attempt Best Supporting Actor to not walk in the footsteps but in their Black Panther Party paw steps, and not just in theory, not in a romanticized type of way( but) with our programs, with our criticisms, with our self-criticisms, with our struggles, our politics of internationalism, with the present-day Rainbow Coalition, with the Triple Cs -- the children, community and Black Panther Party Cubs -- supplying services for the people, not in a charity type of way but where people themselves can get involved and fight for their own self-determination.
