character parts
Writing system elements
Character parts are supporting roles in theater, film, or television that call for distinctive or eccentric characterization rather than conventional leading-man or leading-lady appeal.
These roles emphasize quirks, age, physical features, or mannerisms: the cranky neighbor, the dotty aunt, the menacing henchman.
Actors who specialize in such roles are called character actors.
