What is Log Carrier?
1.
A character generally only seen walking around behind the main action in an ensemble cast show, but who occasionally gets out of line and tries to be part of the main action. A term derived from the show Lost, which may be applied to any character or person who would be better off returning to his or her menial task (such as log carrying) and leaving the important work to the pros.
