Basically take an ensemble show that took (mostly) smaller or unknown actors and then had long running success and then rank them based on who went on to be the biggest stars.



It's a great show but I'm not sure I'd count low ratings for 5 seasons at just 76 episodes on NBC for 2 years and then a weird hybrid of DirecTV for first run and NBC for reruns months later for the last 3 years as long running success.

IMO FNL is the very definition of a cult show that had a small but extremely dedicated fan base that kept it alive well past what normal TV circumstances dictate.



That said you should have Minka Kelly and Adrianne Palicki up there too b/c both are doing well for themselves (mostly on TV but in some films as well).

Jesse Plemons is probably #2. Real impressive filmography and he’s the lead in the next Scorsese film.

People only recently stopped calling Plemons Meth Damon.

He’s really transformed his career by taking lesser roles and killing them.

As others have said, Plemons is the best pure actor of the bunch and has an incredible repertoire for a young guy. He’s mastered the secondary character and despite lacking leading man looks, seems to be on a very high career trajectory
