I'm trying to translate the actor's speech from [this
clip](https://youtu.be/KKD6OwbpbN4?t=54s).

Now I got stuck at 0:54 where he said

>
> もう本当に今回やっぱ縁下(えんのした)として、元々やっぱ原作って前も言ったように描かれていない部分がすごい多いんで、その分、やっぱり、皆をどうやってサポートしようかな、
> **どうやって皆を立てたい、立てれるとこ立てようかな** とかすごい考えた時に、まあ本当に微々たる所でやってくしか無いんだなと思って

I was wondering about the meaning 立て in the above sentence. I did look up the
dictionary and the reason I thought 立て = to stand is because they are the
stage actor, so they need to think about how they should stand on the stage.

At first I thought he meant

> 皆をどうやってサポートしようかな、どうやって皆を立てたい

= How should I support everyone?, How I want everyone to stand?

> 立てれるとこ立てようかな とかすごい考えた時に

= Where can everyone stand?

and I couldn't grasp the meaning of the rest.

According to the comment below, I assume that 立て here do not mean "to stand",

and each of them probably has a different meaning?

but there are several meanings on both
[Jishou](http://jisho.org/search/%E7%AB%8B%E3%81%A6) and on
[weblio](http://ejje.weblio.jp/sentence/content/%E7%AB%8B%E3%81%A6%E3%82%88%E3%81%86)
I still could not make any senses out of these meaning, which is why I decided
to reach out for help.

question
translation meaning
Meaning of 立てる in どうやって皆を立てたい、立てれるとこ立てよう
The 立てる here means "to make (someone) look good".

> 皆をどうやってサポートしようかな、どうやって皆を立てたい

どうやって皆を立てたい is ungrammatical. I think he meant to say どうやって皆を立てようかな "How can I
make others/everyone look good?" or maybe どうかして皆を立てたい "I want to make
others/everyone look good in some way".

As you know, どうやって～～ようかな means "I wonder how I should/can..." "How can/should
I...?"

> 立てれるとこ立てようかな とかすごい考えた時に

立てれるとこ is a colloquial, collapsed form of 立て **ら** れるとこ(ろ).  
立てられるところ = The part (in them) that I can make look good (立てられる modifies ところ.)  
The られる is potential.

> 『皆をどうやってサポートしようかな、どうやって皆を（立てたい→立てようかな）、立て（ら）れるとこ（を）立てようかな』とかすごい考えた時に...

_lit._ When I thought/wondered hard "How can I support them, how can I make
them look good, how can I make the part (in them) that I can make look good
look good"...  
→ When I really thought/wondered "How can I support them, how can I make them
look good, how should I make them look good when I can / as much as I can"...
