cheese role - what does it mean?

[D3aDl0cK]

i have a question about what "cheese role" means.

I couldn´t find any translation into (idiomatic) german,
so i would be very glad seeing one of you explaining it to me.

More context please.

In an acting context it might refer to a role in a play or movie that noone wants. Cheese is very much like in German. I.e., besides the obvious possibility of referring to food, it can be used to mean "bad", "silly", "cheap", "undesirable" etc.

sorry,
unfortunately i do not have any context.

But your explanation sounds good.
Thanks a lot !

It seems very likely to me, that it's a clerical mistake and should mean "cheese roll", or something like that.
Plz correct me if I'm wrong. :)

I reckon its a simple typo.

I thought about a "roll" as well when I read the topic. According to google, this would be the more likely alternative.
The well known "ham and cheese roll" is some typical fast food which I saw a lot of times during my year in australia.

It´s no mistake, the word in question was indeed "cheese role".
A friend of mine had to translate it and the explanation above seemed to be appropiate.
Anyway , thank you guys!

what about 'say:"cheese"- role'
cheesing v 1. to smile widely. Origin: the standard photographer command "Say cheese!" used to elicit smiles. ("When he saw her he started cheesing.")
