Welcome to the game; you are a Peasant Redshirt.
Your IMDB credit for this one will read “baker” or “tavern keeper” or “ drunken man,” but your real job in this film is to mill around behind the named characters, to periodically ad lib background dialogue – “oh no, it’s the Mayor’s severed arm!,” or “she’s a witch, burn her!,” or “my, this stew is amazing, considering it was made from the Mayor’s severed arm!” – and, in all likelihood, to die. For that is the fate that awaits every crusty, scabby peasant like yourself, at least in a B-horror movie like this one: in pieces, in flames, in water, inevitably… someone or something is going to get you.
But even the lowliest extra can earn a little extra screen time, with the right performance. Keep your head down, keep your hand in, and when you hear a sound outside your window, stay right where you are and keep an axe nearby. You never know how things might work out.
