Talk:Background Survivors (TV Series)

lost
I added Lost background cast in the external link section. As lost is the gold standard wiki, quoting it here is more as an example of what this page has the potential to one day be, rather than having any connection to Walking Dead, which it obviously does not. Anyone is welcome to remove this link if they wish. Anno1404 23:43, November 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's not a problem with me. When I joined Lostpedia, I did a lot of work with the background cast pages. Almost all of the pictures and info from the Tail Section background and Ajira flight background casts was from me, and a good number from the Middle Section background cast came from me as well. It is there that I learned the skill to pry around Google for information and pictures of the BC. No problem with keeping it there, it is after all the inspiration to make this page! --Mistertrouble189 17:42, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

Redskin
The Lost page states:


 * "Redshirt" is not the same as background actor. "Redshirt" is a fan term for minor characters (not the actors) who are often introduced in an episode or scene for the purpose of being killed by the plot, and may be either a speaking or nonspeaking role. "Background actor" is a term for the actors (not the characters) who portray non-speaking roles, roles which may or may not be redshirt characters. Some guest actors and even part of the main cast on Lost played Flight 815 redshirts; these are by definition not background roles.

Woodbury survivors
There are about 75-ish people in Woodbury, yet this page shows over 100 of them. Is this a mistake? 174.84.234.195 17:46, February 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well I mean, I guess officially there's only supposed to be 73 people in Woodbury (with about 60 or less unnamed aka background survivors) but I guess in some episodes/scenes, some extras aren't available with filming, so they have to bring in new ones, while some extras have been on the show since the beginning. So eventually you're gonna have up to 100+ extras that play the background citizens, but they will only show 30-40 on screen at a time.

Same lady?
Just wanted an opinion as to whether these two are the same person? I think they are... --Mistertrouble189 (talk) 18:20, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

I think so too. Hallowseve15 (talk) 18:48, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

Repeated people everywhere
I would just like to add that there are SO MANY people repeated in the Woodbury section. I was about to remove some of them, but then I noticed that so many of them are repeated, it would take me all day to remove one by one.
