Reply to comment by bent_my_wookie in Did TV used to have more speaking roles for extras? by warrenseth

In the UK they can. They would just be given a supplementary fee and called a featured extra. They don't have to be credited for having dialogue.

So are these rules by country or industry or just by whatever collection of companies decide on their projects? I'm interested an I don't know why.

In the UK It depends on what union agreement the company uses for their project. Have a look here. I have no idea what the differences are in other countries though.
