'what we'd all like' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'one small crowd actor' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'small' becomes 'little' (synonyms).
'crowd actor' becomes 'extra' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'little'+'extra'='A LITTLE EXTRA'

'suggests' acts as a link.
