Epizódszerepl

Epizódszerepl is a Hungarian term that translates to "guest star" or "supporting actor" in English. It refers to an actor who appears in a specific episode of a television series or a limited role in a film, often playing a character that is not part of the main cast. These roles, while temporary, can be crucial to the plot, providing exposition, advancing the narrative, or introducing new elements to the story.

Guest stars can range from well-known celebrities making a cameo appearance to lesser-known actors taking on a character for a few scenes. Their performance, even if brief, contributes to the overall quality and appeal of the production. In some cases, an epizódszerepl might be so impactful that the character becomes a fan favorite, or the actor receives critical acclaim for their contribution. The term emphasizes the episodic nature of their involvement, highlighting that their presence is confined to a specific segment of a larger work. It is a common practice in television production to hire epizódszerepl to add variety, star power, or specialized talent to individual episodes.
