I think, as a GM, it is really useful to have someone who is interested in, and willing to take on, bit-parts and do them well. This gives a lot of flexibility, and if you have someone you can trust to do it well, you can then commit to more important/interesting bit parts, too.
Ok, I've only GMed one LARP-like game, but I did have someone who didn't want to play any of the main roles, but just be there for "helper" roles, and it was really helpful and awesome having this person around. (It was a White Wolf game called Long Live the King. )
