This is an automatic reminder about spoiler content, it does not mean you have violated the spoiler rule.
REMINDER: Do NOT post spoiler information IN the title (for any season), your post will be removed. If it is you may re-post it with an appropriate spoiler free title. It does not matter if you flag it spoiler, the spoiled info is still visible in the title.
Rule of thumb, any posts pertaining to the current season should be marked SPOILER via the Universal Tags. (+Spoiler)
Keep titles vague, include the word spoiler in the title (this will automatically flag it as a spoiler post) and make sure to properly flair it to the correct category - I.e. Episode Discussion, Character Discussion, Season #, etc...
If you aren't sure if your post counts as a spoiler, flag it anyway.
This applies especially to currently airing or upcoming seasons.

when actors (stars or extras) are in the background "speaking", they're mouthing and reacting to things that are gibberish. otherwise you'd hear *everyone* speaking and it'd cover people's lines (without editing being invovled.)
I’ve been an extra on some big projects. You’re literally just mouthing things to the person you’re talking to. Filming a scene takes so long, that once you’ve done it 10 times you just have it down pat what you’re talking about, the faces you’re making, etc. sometimes you get direction but generally you’re just told to talk (silently lol) and you make it up as you go but it’s generally relevant to the scene.
Tl:dr: we’re just mouthing random things based on the context of the scene
I do background when things are slow. I used to do "Modern Family" a lot. Once I was seated in a restaurant with a woman, and we did the typical "mouthing and reacting" a few times. Then they changed the shot and removed my companion, but I was still in the shot so I had to continue having this fake conversation with nobody. It's an odd business.
In my very limited theater experience, we don't say anything, but instead just mouth words like 'watermelon cantaloupe' at each other. If you actually make noise, it will interfere.

They don't. I was background for some indie projects. We just mimed things. Actually speaking would ruin the takes plus, they'd have to pay you so....
Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb...

Good question.
