Just being in a movie doesn't make you an A-lister. Those are leading movies but he is not In the leading role.

A-list is a term that alludes to major movie stars, or the most bankable in the Hollywood film industry or to major recording artists, major international sports stars or other occupations such as the most successful film directors, certain high profile media and entertainment moguls and the most notable international TV broadcasters.

The A-list is part of a larger guide called The Hot List that has become an industry-standard guide in Hollywood.

When I think of A-listers I think of people like DiCaprio, DDL, McConaughey, Depp, etc.

I wouldn't call Bill Paxton a B lister, but I guess someone could see him as borderline based on the last 5-10 years. And Idris Elba is well on his way to A list status

For me:

Ben Foster - should be an A lister based on talent

Luis Guzman

And I feel like hes an A Lister but I'd bet the average person wouldn't know Mark Ruffalo's name if they saw a picture of him

ETA: if we're classifying A listers just based on box office draw then no, Bill Paxton nor Mark Ruffalo are A listers

And based on that, actors like PSH wouldn't be called A listers, but I would definitely include him. Even DDL, as the best living actor, could pop up on TV and plenty of people wouldn't know who it was. That doesn't happen with Leo, Hanks, Denzel, etc.
