WHAT DOES SUPPORTING ACTRESS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Supporting actor

A supporting actor is an actor who performs a role in a play or film below that of a lead role, and above that of a bit parts. In recognition of important nature of this work, the theater and film industries give separate awards to the Best Supporting Actor and actress. These range from minor roles to principal players and are often pivotal or vital to the story as in a best friend, love interest, 'sidekick' or 'antagonist'. They are sometimes but not necessarily character roles. In earlier times, these could often be ethnic stereotypes. A supporting actor should usually not upstage the starring or main actor/actress. The title of the role is usually specific to the performance, that is, a person may be a supporting actor in one film and the lead in another. In television, a day player refers to most performers with supporting speaking roles hired on a daily basis without long-term contracts.
