How generic must The Generic Guy be?

I'm curious on this. The description of The Generic Guy seems to switch between said generic guy simply having no distinctive, exaggerated traits, and being a virtual cipher distinct from the Living Prop only in that he has dialogue. The current laconic says only "An unremarkable character." Is that about right, or must the Generic Guy be truly unremarkable as most of the description implies?

Also, the fourth paragraph seems like it belongs under Token Minority instead - if no one objects, I'm going to move it.
