Utalószerepet

Utalószerepet is a Hungarian term that translates to "supporting role" or "secondary role" in English. It refers to a character in a play, film, novel, or other narrative work who is not the protagonist or central figure but plays a significant part in advancing the plot, developing the main characters, or contributing to the overall theme. These roles are crucial for adding depth, complexity, and realism to a story.

Supporting characters can serve various functions. They might be allies or antagonists to the protagonist, offering guidance, opposition, or comic relief. They can also act as foils, highlighting the protagonist's traits through contrast. Sometimes, a supporting character's experiences or motivations can mirror or comment on those of the main character, providing thematic resonance. While they may not have their own extensive character arcs, their presence and actions are integral to the narrative's progression and the audience's understanding of the story. The performance of an utalószerepet actor or actress is often lauded for its ability to create memorable characters that stand out even without being in the spotlight.
