So many terms to describe those Actors who "were in everything", but never quite reached superstardom level.

Those actors who added so much to a Movie or Television Show, but will never be remembered by name....



My favorites would have to be William Smith and Royal Dano.

Let em' fly, ya'll.....

Don't know where Nathan Fillion stands but I've always liked him

Voice of Cayde in Destiny and Spartan Buck in Halo. He has that Paul Rudd effect where he just makes the things he's in light-hearted

I am sure some would not consider him B list, but I submit my fav guy like that - Peter Stormare.

JW2, Constantine and Armageddon have to put him up there. can even add Bad Boys 2 int here as well.

I don't know the criteria, but I suggested this as next MTV bracket - best "character actors".

I will throw up 3 dudes straight from Office Space:

Gary Cole - completely underrated IMO.
Stephen Root
Diedrich Bader

One of my low-key favorites is Lane Smith (RIP)

I always liked Ned Beatty. I was an extra in the movie The Toy which was filmed in Baton Rouge. He ate lunch with the extras whereas Jackie Gleason acted like we didn't exist. The movie was pretty bad, in my opinion.

Poor Ned was also in Deliverance.

As a Sci-Fi/Horror geek, I have to say Lance Henriksen is up there for me as well.

Not forgetting the ladies, I'm going to say Mildred Natwick was another outstanding support.

Since M. Emmet Walsh just died, he should probably be at the top of the list. Blood Simple, Blade Runner, Little Big Man, Serpico, Straight Time, The Jerk, Harry and the Hendersons...the man did it all. John Cazale seemed to be in every great movie of the 70s: Godfather I and II, The Conversation, Dog Day Afternoon, and The Deerhunter.

Had to look up his name, but James Cromwell is fantastic in everything he's been in

Enrico Colantoni - enjoyed him as the bad guy on “Person of Interest” and he seems to pop up in some bit part every now and then . . . he usually steals the scene.

Dale Dickey

If you need a rough, tough, crusty, older southern woman, she’s as good as it gets…From Winter’s Bone to Justified to Hell Or High Water, she’s awesome.

Jennifer Coolidge was a B actor her entire life and finally has achieved household name recognition. People just used to call her Stifler's Mom and not know her name.

I think Missi Pyle is very talented. I thought she was going to be huge after Galaxy Quest but she just works steady.

How has Bruce Campbell not been mentioned?




Eric Stoltz, the original Marty McFly comes to mind.


Chiwetel Ejiofor has been solid in so many roles.
