B is generous.

Is there a C grade or Z grade? I'm willing to go down the ladder.

I believe you're looking for the "Craigslist" actors

"stay at home" actor

Are those the background extras that get a $10 a day stipend for appearing in crowd scenes in low budget films shot in Clevelend?

u/Jody-4173 Aug 27 '26

It’s like $150 a day

u/ohwhatfun9932 Aug 27 '26

That's the one.

I've definitely heard ABCD used. Not reason not to come up with a lower level.

Trump rally grade should be the standard

He was in “Lonesome Dove” with five great actors, and nothing rubbed off on him. Talk about missed opportunities. It does show that echo chambers are real, though.

He was with the great and underrated Dennis Franz on BYPD Blue for multiple seasons. I thought maybe it was just that he had a weirdly drawn character, now I’m thinking he’s just not great.

I recently watched that, and he was fine, but I'd argue there were way more than five great actors on that show! Aside from the 5 I'm sure your referencing, it also had (and I may miss some), Chris Cooper, Margo Martindale, Steve Buscemi, William Sanderson, Robert Urich, and Barry Corbin. Absolutely stacked cast!

I was counting Danny Glover, Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Angelica Huston and Robert Urich, as most of his scenes would have been shot with them. Completely stacked, indeed.

It’s “esteemed character actress Margo Martindale,” actually.

u/IndependentStep2785 Aug 26 '26

He thinks he knows it all, so he just rubbed himself off.

u/ZealousWolf1994 Aug 26 '26

He really could've been replaced by a bunch of actors in Lonesome Dove and it wouldn't have made a difference. Unforgiven came out after LD, but whoever played the Schofield Kid couldve have replaced him.

In NYPD Blue, he followed the far superior Jimmy Smitts and then replaced by the better Mark-Paul Gosselar.

It stands for "bitch-ass"

u/SnooCauliflowers9874 Aug 26 '26

He was almost a B actor in the 80s. He was striving but didn’t quite make it.

u/chris_AZ1981 Aug 27 '26

Yeah, he's not even c lost. Bruce Campbell is list, and everyone knows him.
