Principal vs. Principle
When you're talking about your role in a project or the onset of filming your project, you mean "principal," as that's the only option that can *be* an adjective, and that's what you're listing on a resumé in the billing column: the type of role (principal, supporting, featured; recurring, guest-star, co-star); or in your blurb about starting the main part of your work
(from Bonnie Gillespie).

comments: Well, featured extra may not be a job classification, but it is a reality of the production world. If you have a non-speaking role that is clearly identifiable and interacts with the principal actors, then you ARE a featured background. Having such a role will cause you work day to be short, because you will not be used for any other roles in the movie at all. I know because this happened to me on "Hail Caesar" by the Cohen Brothers and recently on the independent film "The Glass Jaw" .
