10 More Greatest Movie Extra Performances Ever

The folks of Amity Island could regularly be seen gathering and sprinting for their lives around Martin Brody and the rest of the memorable characters found in Steven Spielberg's horrifying 1975 blockbuster Jaws.

And with so many extras being needed to fill out these beach town crowds, a few of those background artists diverting attention away from the main figures in front of the camera was pretty much inevitable.

Sure enough, on multiple occasions in Spielberg's classic flick, extras stole the spotlight in various different ways.

There was the bloke who decided to wear a blatant smile across his mug during one of Bruce's first attacks, while the rest of the folks at the beach were losing their minds over the shark.

Then you have the peculiar guy in a bucket hat trying to squeeze his way into as many frames as possible when Brody and Hooper are checking out the tiger shark.

Mayor Larry Vaughn regularly finds himself having to deal with a few background performers attracting viewers' wandering eyes, too.

A young child works his way into shot with a noticeable frown as Larry asks why someone isn't going for a dip. And one particularly excited extra also steals all the attention away from the mayor when he's letting folks watching the news know that "Amity Means Friendship", giddily waving her arms and distractingly throwing up a peace sign during her big moment.

Put simply, none of these extras wasted their opportunity to be remembered in what turned out to be one of the most famous movies of all time.
