Transfixed, like an extra on stage? (7)

I believe the answer is:

speared

I believe this is a double definition.

'transfixed' is the first definition.
(spearing is a kind of transfixing)

'like an extra on stage?' is the second definition.
(spear-carrier can mean a theatrical extra)

(Another definition for speared that I've seen is " hit by javelin maybe!".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
