Some of these names came up in a conversation with the Captain, so the topic was formed by consensus, and some of his answers will most likely spill over into mine. It's pretty straight forward; the actors listed either have A parts in B movies, or B parts in A movies, but are never the stars of massive hollywood fare. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) For the most part they've had lengthy careers, and in some cases have blurred the line between A and B with consistent, standout performances. Bio links have been provided to facilitate your "Oh, that guy!" moment.
My B-list go-to guys. I'd love to have a BBQ with these guys:
1. Delroy Lindo
2. Gary Busey
3. Keith David
4. David Keith
5. Louis Gossett Jr.
