Reply to comment by DancingOnACounter in Did TV used to have more speaking roles for extras? by warrenseth
I shoot 'behind the scenes' material for TV shows, and one thing I hear quite frequently in the production office are 'Extra's' trying to bump their pay level up to 'day player' . " The director said as they bring in the birthday cake that I should step out of the way to let [ Named actor] pass.. so that's scripted piece of action !! ".
I don't blame them, it can quadruple your wages. Production staff tend to be very aware of the rules and what is a legitimate claim.
I am unaware of the commercial rules, other than they used to like to pay actors huge buy out fees , to cover international and future use.

There's a distinction between 'Extras' and ' Day players'. Extra's are paid a certain amount and are not entitled to further payments [ eg: for international sales or syndication ] .
Day players, who say one line [" One steak, coming right up! " ] or have a scripted piece of action with a main character [ An old girlfriend walking hand in hand with a main character, in a brief flashback] do get residual payments..this is less popular with broadcasters and streamers as it costs money and admin. Whether or not that effects productions...I don't know.

Reply to TIL When soul legend Wilson Picket recorded his iconic version of "Mustang Sally," he & his band rushed to hear the playback. The tape machine broke, cutting the tape into 30-40 tiny pieces. The engineer Tom Dowd carefully spliced them all back together, & that's the famous album version by wowbobwow
The song was original called 'Sally Mustang' but he accidentally put the pieces back in the wrong order...

Odd coincidence , last night on TV I surfed into 'Hot Shots : Part Deux' , a movie I have never seen...and saw a sequence where Martin and Charlie Sheen are on separate 'Apocalypse Now' style patrol boats , as they pass each other they both said ' Loved you in Wall Street'..

Reply to TIL: You Can Tattoo Your Eyes But Eye Tattooing Comes with Dangerous Risks by Malixshak
"If the ink is not injected into the right place... it can lead to a retinal detachment, infection, and permanent damage to the cells inside the eye that allow you to see."
Yikes !
