The other great time fillers are henchmen. So much henchmen. Henchmen walk up stairs. Henchman walk down stairs. Henchmen take suit jacket off. Henchmen put suit jacket on. Henchmen order coffee. Henchmen drink coffee. Henchmen talk on phone, walk over to other henchmen, repeat phone conversation.

Other favorites: Characters walk into restaurant, converse with maitre d', get seated, and hear specials before talking. Characters sit down at bar, order drinks, watch the bartender make the drinks, and then start talking. A character walks through entire airport before meeting other character.

And they would re-use actors as different henchmen, villains, or other guest parts. They didn't care about continuity or serialization in that way & they rightly knew the audience really didn't either. They probably just liked working with them, or their agent happened to answer the phone first.
