How are these lists determined, anyway?
A would be the big name movie stars.
B would be big name TV stars and not so big name movie stars, etc?..
Michael Biehn?
Does Kris Kristofferson count? I like his music but he never really went anywhere as an actor.
Monica Lewinsky.
If I had to guess, it’s a cross-pollination between two different ranking systems: The Hollywood A-List for bankability, and a given celebrity’s Q-Score, which tracks their popularity and likeability.
Works for me.
There can be exceptions for certain zeitgeist-generating TV shows, however. I’d say, for example, Jennifer Aniston became A-list while still on Friends. Same goes for Jerry Seinfeld. But those might be the only two TV shows in the past decade that could spawn someone like that. I mean, even on a show with a huge yet also cultish following like Lost, no one on there is A-list.
But didn’t Mr. T get a cartoon where he traveled around with a bunch of gymnasts solving crimes?
Or have I just been drinking too much?
No, no, no. All wrong. These were preteen and teen mystery gymnasts who battled crime. Remember the lil’ white kid with the mohawk?
Stay in drugs, say no to milk, drink your school! I NEED WORK.
Leslie Nielsen isn’t C list. He’s a legend. I will fight anyone to the death if they disagree with my edict.
We can change the name of this game into the “Quentin Tarantino Memorial ‘Who Can I Cast In A Role That Nobody’s Even THOUGHT Of In Ten Years’?” Game.
Sherman Helmsley, is the obvious winner.
HEMSLEY
:smack:
I go to bed now.
To answer the original question, though…
John Witherspoon.
Is “Baige Davis” supposed to be Paige Davis? If so, then I vote for her, since she tanked her career just to strip to a g-string for charity (if that’s a correct recollection and not my own personal perverted fantasy).
No idea who Bass, Meadows or Roderick are (even with the hint – didn’t know that there was a “Baywatch Hawaii”). Of course I know who Leslie Nielsen is and would have him as more of a B-list guy. Kathy Najimy’s name is vaguely familiar – was she in “Sister Act”? I sort of liked Ricki(sp?) Lake as an actress in John Water’s stuff, but not so wild about daytime talkshows as a rule.
That’s because he couldn’t act.
Is Alicia Witt Grade C nowadays? Has she been in anything since Urban Legend?
Yanno who’s gonna be C-list in 10 years? Eva Longoria.
Charles Nelson Reilly!
and of course, the patron saint, Charlie Weaver.
Brett Butler. Seriously. Whatever happened to her, anyway? I always expected great things from her, and have been consistently disappointed that I haven’t. She rules.
I’ve been a Paul Dooley fan since I saw Strange Brew in the theater, back in 1983, but I couldn’t tell you why. I’m always surprised to see him turn up in movies and TV shows, and I’m always happy to see him.
I also like MTV’s Karen Duffy, but she also seems to have dropped off the face of the earth, and I miss her.
The first season or two of that show were great. And I loved her in-laws, Jean and Emmit Kelly. Funny shit.
Do the generation test. Will the kids who grow up know these people in ten years?
She was perfectly cast (IMHO) as Joy’s mother on “My Name Is Earl”
