Best extra in a movie

My vote goes for the guy in "Independence Day".

Look at the determination in his face as he gives the salute!

He's usually more than an extra is most movies, but I'm sure he has many cameos that would qualify as an extra.

of Scrooge's nephew Fred's maid in the 1951 film A Christmas Carol. This young woman only appeared in two films and never received a screen credit. Fans of the movie have long searched for her identity without success and it seemed lost to time. Some speculated that it might be a young Audrey Hepburn. Finally, very recently, a family member came forth with her name, Theresa Derrington, a British actress who is still alive. Without the utterance of a word, this simple performance communicates so much feeling with a simple, compassionate look to Ebeneezer Scrooge. It's one of my favorite movie scenes.
