From what i understand, The Piano Player is more for those characters found in Westerns that have no characteristic but providing music.

Which is why 13 fits The Piano Player.

[tup] to 13 for The Piano Player.

For Living Prop, how about this?https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8f9af521f75ca32b571148f2ea439175.jpg

[up] I don’t see how that illustrates.

I think the objection is that Glee is not a Western.

No idea how that pic shows Living Prop.

That’s a literal Living Prop, which we don’t want.

How about no image for now, and maybe add a video example?

How about the late Kirby Morrow's character, Dave Kleinman, from Stargate Atlantis?

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stargateatlantis01.jpg

He's the dude on the left, and basically exists to tell Mitch Pileggi that enemies are closing in and that the shields are depleting. I don't even think he even leaves the Daedalus in any episode. Though slightly hampered by the fact that he only appears in 2 seasons out of 5 (and a one-off appearance in the same role on another space battleship in Stargate Universe).

Again, you can't see that from the image. [tdown]

This trope seems very hard to illustrate, because without motion, you can't really tell which character just sits in the background doing nothing.

BUPKIS?

^ The problem is I can't find any video on YouTube that's just a compilation of a character being boring.

That doesn't matter. Videos have no impact on images and vice-versa.

Eh… we were on board with 13 til the overlap was brought up so it’s possible to illustrate.
