I recently did a BG job for a major TV production for the first time and just got asked back to come back for an actor role

What exactly does this mean?? I’m non union and only did one BG gig which was the one I did before I got asked back to come back for an actor role. How is this different than a regular BG role? What’s the pay like? This is in Toronto, Canada
