I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'a minor player' is the first definition.
'extra' can be an answer for 'player' (extra is a kind of player). I am unsure of the 'a minor' bit.

'more' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'makes' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for extra that I've seen before include "Maybe wide" , "Player with no lines" , "appearing in crowd scene" , "One playing a minor part" , "Bit part actor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
