extra

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

This could be a double definition.

'surplus' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'actor in small role' is the second definition.
'extra' can be an answer for 'actor' (extra is a type of actor). I am not sure about the 'in small role' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for extra that I've seen before include "Minor actor in crowd scene" , "Auxiliary" , "Bit player in film" , "late edition" , "redundant > spear-carrier" .)
