Are you talking about an understudy? Understudies are people who come to rehearsals and then if the actor that was formerly hired cannot perform (due to sickness, quitting, ect.) then the understudy takes their part. I think that they are called understudies because they study the actor's lines (hence study) and are underneath the position of the actor. I hope I helped.
