Your Definition

1) Used in the online [youtube] acting community to refer to a scene or period of time in which the actors are in character.

2) Used to distinguish whether or not an actor's actions or emotions are part of the character they play or not. This is especially common within contexts such as the Minecraft role-play server Dream SMP, where actors shift in and out of character constantly and the lines between acting and not acting are blurred, and what is considered 'canonical' in the plot is quite loose and up to [interpretation]. This is especially true since the characters the actors play are often similar to their own true [personality], due to the casualness of the setting and the way in which many characters evolved naturally over time through improv, drawing large parts of themselves from the actors personalities, rather then being planned beforehand.

The term likely originates from television acting, in which a 'five-or-less' or 'bit part' is a role in-between an extra and a [supporting character]. To be considered a bit part, the role the actor plays must have no more then 5 lines of dialogue and a direct interaction with one of the principle actors. Cameo roles by famous celebrities are often bit parts.
