- **Side**: Client
- **Category**: Cinematics

## Syntax

```lua
bool removeCinematicActor(cinematic cinematic, string slot)
```

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `cinematic` | `cinematic` | The cinematic. |
| `slot` | `string` | The actor's name. |

## Returns

`true` if it was removed. `false` if the actor does not exist, the cinematic is recording or something still refers to it, with a warning saying why.

An actor is not removed while a camera shot follows or looks at it, a sound is spoken by it or another actor gets into it (a vehicle) in its take.

## Example

```lua
local intro = createCinematic("cinematics/intro.cine")
if not removeCinematicActor(intro, "extra") then
    outputDebugString("the extra is still in a shot or a sound")
end
```
