WHAT DOES BIT PLAYER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Bit part

A bit part is a role in which there is direct interaction with the principal actors and no more than five lines of dialogue. In British television, bit parts are referred to as under sixes. 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. Unlike extras who do not typically interact with principals, actors in bit parts are sometimes listed in the credits. An exception to this practice is the cameo appearance, wherein a well-known actor appears in a bit part; it is common for such appearances to be uncredited. Another exception occurred in MGM's 1951 screen version of the famed musical Show Boat, in which the role of the cook Queenie has been reduced from a significant supporting role in the stage version to literally a bit part in the film. Ms. Williams, whose appearance was not intended as a cameo, was not listed at all in the credits.
