Casting is an extremely difficult task. Sometimes, the hot new actor who a studio hopes is the next big thing just never quite makes it. Other times, the smallest cast member with only a few lines - or none at all - turns out to be the world's next movie star. In his early days, even Brad Pitt was a non-speaking extra in a few fairly big films. Hey, every celebrity has to start somewhere!
So to all those actors out there stuck in guest star roles - or worse yet: doing extra work to pay the bills - stick with it! Many famous actors were just where you are now, and they later went on to do amazing things. These big names had tiny roles in major films before breaking into the big leagues. The A-list could be just one role away. As the saying goes, there are no small parts, only small actors.
