A television show / movie you’ve seen enough times that you know the plot by heart and it no longer requires active attention to follow, so you watch it while you’re completing other quiet activities, to fill the room with some kind of noise.
Friend: Hey, I thought we were going to study, why is Friends/Seinfield/The Office/Parks and Rec on?
You: I’m not watching it, it’s just background noise, let’s study!

Get the backgroundcore mug.A background actor, is a performer in a film, television show, stage, musical, opera or ballet production, who appears in a nonspeaking or nonsinging (silent) capacity, usually in the background (for example, in an audience or busy street scene). Most of the time most of these background actors struggle to find permanent work in the industry and find it hard to pay the bills. Being a background actor is a way to get your feet in the acting door without having to go through arduous auditions and get paid to keep your head above water.
On a film or TV set, background actors are usually referred to as "background talent", "background performers", "background artists", "background cast members" or simply "background", while the term "extra" is rarely used these days. In a stage production, background actors are commonly referred to as "supernumeraries". In opera and ballet, they are called "supers".
Background Actors need to be fully committed to the production they have been chosen to work on and because the hours can be long
