They never get the lead but that's often best for them. That means that nobody ever blames them if a movie bombs and they never become unaffordable. It means that they'll never grab the headlines or grab your attention but they'll grab the paycheck at the end of the day.
 
Another excellent category for this trope is dwarfs: there are only so many good, trained adult actors just over three feet tall and even fewer with the connections to constantly get speaking parts. Most long time movie and television fans will recognize a half-dozen familiar faces on small bodies: Billy Barty, who played these roles from the 1930s to the 1990s (180 entries just in the IMDB, beginning at age five!), Billy Curtis (''[[High Plains Drifter]]''), Warwick Davis (''[[Willow]]'', the ''[[Leprechaun (film)|Leprechaun]]'' and ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter]]'' films, and ''[[Prince Caspian]]''), Peter Dinklage (also ''[[Prince Caspian]]'', ''[[Elf]]'', ''[[Game of Thrones]]'') the great Michael Dunn (''[[Ship Ofof Fools]]'' and ''[[The Wild Wild West (TV series)|The Wild Wild West]]''), and Danny Woodburn (Mickey Abbott on ''[[Seinfeld]]'', Big Figure in the ''[[Watchmen (film)|Watchmen]]'' movie).
