10 Greatest Movie Extra Performances Ever

10. The Extra Running Away From The Chitauri - The Avengers

The Avengers movies are so jam-packed with A-list actors and digital mayhem that you'd be forgiven for not paying any attention at all to the extras ducking for cover amid all the chaos.

There is one exception, however, in 2012's original Avengers movie.

Near the start of the iconic Battle of New York as the Chitauri descend upon the city and Cap (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) arrive on the scene, dozens of civilians can be seen fleeing from a giant fireball and trying desperately to get themselves to safety.

Though most of the extras are taking a pretty casual jog for what should be a life-threatening moment, there's one person wearing a striped shirt who absolutely books it across the bridge, pounding the pavement like their life depends on it and in turn giving an all-timer extra performance.

Sadly the person in question hasn't ever been identified, but it wouldn't surprise anyone if they were an athlete of some kind.
