I agree that many of the extra cast are probably just peasant/common folk that will be in one or 2 scenes, then go bye bye into the land of forgotten characters.

I think the ones that might be of note are:

The Groundsman and the Warden - these are the rumored Jeckyll and Hyde characters, and their casting was somewhat high profile, so they are most likely the important characters.

The Orderly - While likely a peasent, some of the BTS pics play him up a bit, and he may be at least a lackey for the Warden. I personally get somewhat of a Tamara vibe from him, so he may be part of a group that wants to squelch any rumors of magic (which is also a part of the purpose of the Asylum). I like esk's connection to One Flew, and it may lead into additoinal appearances next season for Nurse Ratched.

The Frontiersman - My guess on him is that he may be some literary character (Not Davy Crockett, but there are enough folk heros from the frontier days of the US to pull from. maybe something from Tom Sawyer or some of the other works of Mark Twain, for example). and he was committed to the Asylum. Probably a minor character, and likely non-recurring, but could end up being an Ally for Snowing and company as they try to escape the LWS (I'm adopting the Land Without Sanity until we know more details.)
