Selected
لم يكن له دور في المسرحية/كان دوره في المسرحية صامتاً
Depending on the context. There are no "lines" for him in the play, it is because either he had no role in the play at all, which would be weird to mention him and the play in the same sentence to start with, or he had a role but there were no "lines" for his character in it. Like he is a silent extra or something.
