Scene stealer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A scene stealer is a character in a film or dramatic performance that dominates the audience's attention, often through charisma, humour or powerful acting, thus "stealing the scene" or "stealing the show".[1] The term usually (but not always) applies to a supporting character, such a sidekick, best friend, confidant, villain, etc. Sometimes the term is used for a minor character who has unexpectedly (and perhaps inappropriately) drawn attention away from the star. See McLovin.
