Ever feel bad for a extra or actor with barely no lines who dies in a genre movie/show?

I felt bad for that female irish actor who got picked up by a flying dinosaur and then got eaten by a large leaping prehistoric sea reptile in Jurassic World.

That was indeed a little bit over the top and I felt really bad for her.
And for the extra in Star Trek when the Kelvin was under attack and a officer was blown out of the ship, but not before you could hear her scream and she then without a sound drifted away from the ship.
 
Speaking of feeling sorry for someone (actor-wise) with little or no lines... I would pick Kevin Costner in "The Big Chill".

His big flashback Thanksgiving scene with all the other characters at the end of the film was deleted, so all you saw of him was his body (without a look at his face) being dressed/arranged for his funeral.

And he has come a long way since lol
 
Not really, no. More often than not, that's how an actor gets their start. They'll get noticed and will eventually get offered something bigger, especially if it's a high-profile project. Even some of the best actors have all done things they find embarrassing. A friend of mine's son got a non-speaking role on a popular locally shot TV show. Even if not a speaking role, I'm sure he'll get noticed.
