I think about this a lot with my characters, especially the one-offs. If you introduce a character delivering powerful lines you should be able top describe that character to a police sketch artist, complete with a last meal and name of a first pest.

Some of my favorite characters actors: Vincent Schiavelli, Brad Douriff, Kevin J O’Conner, Udo Kier, Austin Pendleton.

Imagine every minor character in your novel has their own novel hidden away, you have just chosen not tell their story yet.
