You know who I am talking about. These are the stars that nobody really talks too much about and are often the first to get forgotten when we reminisce about some of our favorite movies. Yet, these are also the actors that really added something special to our favorite films. These are the actors that are not going be made into a Premium collectible, but still manage to obtain our respect and admiration. Whenever we see these actors in the credits, we just know that the movie is probably going to be fun.

So who are some of your favorite?

Here are a few of mine to start things off....

Judge Reinhold
Movies - Beverly Hills Cop, Gremlins, Fast Times at Ridgemount High, etc.

Movies - Problem Child, Aladdin, Look Who's Talking, etc.

Yeah, he seems more like an A-movie actor. The Abyss, Aliens, all successful movies. Even The Terminator gathered enough fame to warrant three sequels (even if only one of them measured up).

I'd say my favorite B-movie star would be Bruce Campbell.
 
Good choice.

I immediately thought Terminator, Aliens and my fav, Tombstone....Though I am not sure i would call him B-list as I would love a figure of him from all three of those movies :lol

I was thinking that too, but unfortunately he hasn't been in anything really big for a while, and I never thought he got the top ranked billing as a super movie star in Hollywood that I personally felt he deserved. Whenever I see him in a movie, I love it. I thought he was great in Planet Terror and I'd love to see him in more stuff like that in the near future. He should have been in The Expendables.:lol Maybe James Cameron will put him in Avatar 2.

Jon Polito is one of my favorites. A staple of Coen Brothers films, and also co-starred in the awesome Homicide: Life on the Streets:
