Living Prop	comment	There's the Recurring Character, appearing more or less often beside the main cast. There's the poor Red Shirt, who is usually introduced only to get killed off in the very same episode, and the Mauve Shirt, who survives longer or at least gets a token amount of characterization before dying. There are the Hero of Another Story and the Bridge Bunnies, who get to actually run the place from time to time while our heroes boldly go where no man has gone before. There's even Spear Carriers, who have a line or two of actual dialogue. And then, below all of those on the plot importance hierarchy, we have the Living Props. These kinds of recurring characters don't actually have any involvement with the plot except as Padding, and their only purpose is to create a certain sense of stability (after all, you wouldn't expect the bartender to be a different person every single time you visit the same bar, unless they all happen to have George Jetson Job Security) or to fill seats that would reasonably always be occupied by the same people (your classmates will remain the same throughout the school year). They have very few spoken lines, if any at all — it's usually along the lines of "Hot or iced?" or "All systems ready, Captain." If this is noticeable or stretching realism they are Ghost Extras. Most of the time they just stand there in the background, as if they are a permanent part of the scenery that might as well be a living prop. Sometimes, however, they will be subject to Lampshade Hanging about their dedication to their one job, and if this trend continues, they may even transform into a proper Recurring Character, sometimes with their own subplot. Compare and contrast Unknown Character, for a character with plot relevance who was never shown. They might also have been a Chekhov's Gunman the entire time. Or even something more. See also Prop.

The rest of the students are always the same, but have no lines. In the second season, the show lampshades the trope by having one of the living prop students say something. Jack mistakes her for a new student, but she says she's always been there, so Jack responds, "Well... talk more." From this point on, most of the other students get a least one line here or there.

Although a few get lines and names, (Skip, Fernando and Bunny) they rarely get significant characterization or screen time. There are nonetheless several who appear throughout the series. This is lampshaded in season 4, when the CIA gets the idea of invoking this trope by buying, rebuilding and fully staffing the Buy More with CIA agents to take advantage of the anonymity of big box chain store employees. Unfortunately, the CIA agents end up standing out instead, but that's what you get for expecting people to believe Olivia Munn, Summer Glau, and The Man Your Man Could Smell Like would actually work at the Buy More...

Living Prop / int_261c8d3f	comment	Not surprisingly, The Simpsons has a few. Maggie appears in almost every episode of the show, but a lot of the time she acts as this due to being The Voiceless. However, she still maintains her own personality and has the occasional day in the limelight, or at least a case of her having more of an impact on the plot. Other times, she can act as a source of a quick joke or Funny Background Event. She's a downplayed example on the whole. Wendell Borton—the pale and queasy kid in Bart's class—rarely has lines, much less an impact on the plot (though this may more be a case of Demoted to Extra, as he had a few lines early on). The example is also lampshaded at one point when even he can't remember which kid is which. Bart had two other classmates named Lewis and Richard, whom he would hang out with along with Milhouse. Much like Wendell, they had a few lines in earlier episodes, but they were never major characters and stopped hanging around Bart in Season 2. "Das Bus" lampshades this trope in a scene where Bart confuses Lewis with Wendell (who is mentioned above). Policeman Eddie is mainly a prop too. Most of the police business is between Chief Wiggum and Lou. This was lampshaded in an episode where Chief Wiggum becomes commissioner: Those two guys at Moe's bar. No, not Homer and Barney. And no, not Lenny and Carl either, those other two guys. For the record, they're called Sam and Larry. Sam (cap) gets a few lines in early episodes, Larry (balding)... no such luck. After their debut, some one-shot characters like Allison Taylor and Jessica Lovejoy can be later seen as a background character in many episodes revolving around the Springfield children. Jessica also appears in the new opening sequence, playing the flute in the school's music class. Kumiko, the Comic Book Guy's Japanese wife. Most of Lisa's classmates (with the exceptions of Ralph Wiggum and Janey Powell, though even the latter ended up being Demoted to Extra) fall under this trope. They rarely get lines and many of them don't even have names.

About the only thing she does in the film is leave the house to go with Tom and Ben, and get her jacket caught in the car, allowing herself and Tom to be killed. The character didn't exist in the first script, but was added in after they met actress Judith Ridley - who was so beautiful and charming they had to have her in the film somehow. The 1990 remake gives Judy much more of a role in the story.

She's suspiciously absent during staff meetings and doesn't even seem to talk to her direct superior. That's some job independence there for a waitress, but it seems like there had to be at least one person who actually focuses on the main business. Then in the final episode we learn she is obsessed with being "normal", thus goes out of her way to avoid all the abnormal people she works with.

After Ragnar took over as earl, the bodyguards started serving him instead and continued to appear as background figures around Ragnar. According to pilot director Johan Renck, they all had names. From season 3, most of them had been phased out save for one distinctly tall man with a beard and shaved head, who Johan Renck's instagram refers to as "Igor". He continued to appear as Ragnar's bodyguard, even carrying Ragnar's coffin during the Paris-ploy and after Ragnar's death serving Ivar and then Björn. He appeared in almost every episode of the first 4 seasons and ever so often in seasons 5 and 6. He was never named in the show and never got a line.

For several years, Messick included in background panels a female staffer with a distinctive topknot and glasses, but this character was unnamed and had no dialogue. Abruptly, Messick wrote a continuity in which this character — suddenly identified as Lucy Fixture — won a fortune in the sweepstakes and had an adventure of her own before vanishing from the strip.

The number of villainous background characters is similarly small, leading to a lot of familiar faces whenever a main villain throws a party or show up to an event.

This trope was unintentionally underlined in one episode, when one of the regular characters shouted at them to evacuate in the face of a Negative Time Wedgie that threatened to destroy the base. Only two even reacted, seemingly out of surprise, before returning to their 'work'. (Another character immediately covers by voicing their desire to stick with the project 'till the bitter end.)

Living Prop / int_746814ae	comment	There are a number of such characters in Arthur, mostly recurring townspeople and the students in D.W.'s class. Like a pair of rabbit kids who've been in Arthur's class since season 1, but are not as developed as their classmates (in 20 seasons, the male one has only talked twice, the female one hadn't talked at all until season 20). MacFrensky had a class list with the names (Alex & Maria) on it, but some fans refuse to believe those are their names, since Arthur has had several other one-shot classmates over the years (never mind that the two rabbits were the only other two kids besides the already named regulars shown in class in that episode). Arthur also deserves special mention for having promoted some of their former Living Props to actual named, voiced characters. Fern, George, and Jenna have all been present in Arthur's classroom since the beginning. This trope was retroactively justified by all three turning out to be shy, introverted, or both. In George's case, it's even lampshaded by the others having only ever known him as "that shy, goofy kid with the big horns." The female rabbit kid would get her very own episode, which not only revealed that she really is named "Maria" but the reason why she didn't talk at all before: She has a chronic stutter and is working on improving that.

The original series and A's had Allex and Landy, serving as male Bridge Bunnies, but other than that, they don't have any other purpose in the series.

That is, "Nurse Able" will be one actress in one episode, and a different actress in another episode, even if the first actress is also in this one. Though Able and Baker are also part of the military alphabet at the time meaning Nurse Able and Nurse Baker may have been as much shift titles as anything else, though there are one or two situations where the names are used in an off-shift, down-time context (such as the attempted rationing for the showers in one episode). The nurse extra played by Kellye Nakahara started out this way, but over time started to get lines beyond "Yes, Doctor" and eventually subplots of her own; she also got a name (Nurse Kellye).

Eventually, a Mauve Shirt lampshaded it by complaining about how clique-ish the main characters were. Regardless, the fans refused to accept the premise that Nikki and Paulo might have been Ascended Extras. They made a great effort of keeping the show's background cast consistent throughout the years. While some faces inevitably came and went, many people kept appearing among the crash survivors for 5 or 6 seasons without any impact on the plot whatsoever. In addition, background cast of more seldom appearing groups (The Others, The Tailies, The Ajira folk) remained consistent as well, people were called over season-long gaps to reprise their brief non-speaking roles.

Galloway also fits. Galloway has also kinda sorta returned from the dead; the writers remembered his death in time to change the character's name to "Johnson" at the last minute, but when he appeared again in the final episode, he was credited as Galloway (though not named on camera). There's also Lt. Hadley, who appeared in 62 of the series' 79 episodes (usually filling in for Sulu or Chekov when one of them was unavailable) but never got a single line of dialogue.

He's been in Gumball's class since the early reel, yet he has no personality, has never played an important role in any of the plots, and has only spoken once over the entire run of the show so far. Lampshaded in "The Pony", in which he gets offended when Gumball and Darwin get his name wrong, so Darwin pushes him into a sewer. In the third season finale, Rob decides to get even for his mistreatment and vows to become Gumball and Darwin's nemesis. His next appearance shows that he hasn't been particularly good at it.

The tendency for familiar faces to show up in new settings has not gone unnoticed by the fans. When the main cast visit the frontier town Appeloosa, half of the locals are regular Ponyvillians in big hats. After Trixie had her reputation destroyed by the Ursa Minor incidents, the images she shows of her later attempts to reestablish herself imply that Bon Bon (a fan favorite background pony) followed her all over Equestria to make fun of her at every opportunity.

Because the Doctor Who production team used the same stuntmen repeatedly in those days, you would get a recurring group of silent uncredited redshirts. Pat Gorman was one who got bits of dialogue and graduated to credited status near the end of the UNIT era, but even then he was still known as "UNIT Corporal" or "Soldier." One of them, Max Faulkner, appeared in a small capacity as a redshirt UNIT soldier in 1970, but by his next appearance in 1975, had gotten a rank and a last name "Corporal Adams."

Living Prop / int_d9c602eb	comment	South Park: Many of the main cast's classmates. Some characters, like Butters, used to be Living Props before becoming major players. Butters was promoted to a major character to replace Kenny, whom the creators recognized as a Living Prop whose interaction with the other characters was limited at best. Special mention goes to DogPoo Petuski. While he's been in the show since the start and is still around as of Season 25, he has had only two speaking roles. Both Cartman and himself lampshade his living prop status in one of the two episodes he speaks in (he was meant to be a Shout-Out to Pig Pen, and just like the original character, his one-note nature meant the creators couldn't think of much to do with him). Unlike Ike or Shelly, Kenny's brother Kevin never really got much characterization, mostly just staying silent in the rare McCormick family scene that includes him. Kind of highlighted by the fact that in later episodes the two randomly have a younger sister who avoids this trope.
