Actors Who Agreed To Do The Side Role

Agreeing to do a supporting role is never easy. Everyone knows that the main focus will always remain on the stars who constitute the main cast, no matter how much work they put in. But the actors still make the hard choice.

Here are 20 actors who in their career have made the tough decision of being a side actor.
