Some of you people are listing washed up A-list actors. Not B-list actors. B-lists are actors like Rutger Hauer, Bruce Campbell and Eric Roberts.

I would say calling 2 and half men hilarious is a pretty big stretch.

Nope. It is a very funny show. Too bad Rose is gone now though. 🙁 Melanie Lynskey is hot.:heart:

Charlie Sheen is popular because it turns out that HE HIMSELF is a very funny character. On Two and a Half Men, he plays Charlie Sheen---and it's hilarious!

Robert Downey Jr. does the same thing. He's a big cock- and he plays himself in his roles now. Perfect!

I would say calling 2 and half men hilarious is a pretty big stretch.

yes, the show is hilarious. It's probably the best comedy on network TV right now. I take it you've never seen the show.

If you have cable you can't miss this show. It's on like 5 times a day.
 
Keifer Sutherland
Neil Patrick Harris
Patrick Dempsey
Hugh Laurie

All 3 had pretty crappy film careers in my opnion but really made it big on TV.

How was he ever a b-list? I knew him in everything... I thought he was a good actor too. :-/ All these other guys in here I just don't know even, except for maybe a few...

Those are not B actors.
They are A actors who went down the tubes briefly.

But they are excellent examples.

Dont forget that Sean Connery had a long dry spell too.

EDIT: Not that he didnt work, he just got stuck with a bunch of crummy movies.

Who?

I think he means Alyssa Milano, from Whos the Boss? Charmed, etc.

Jennifer Aniston was in the Leprechaun. Another so bad it's good movie. I think that qualifies her.

That was the beginning of her career - when you're still scraping the bottom of the barrel for anything that will pay next month's rent. She was hardly on top of the world, went back to being a waiter, and then got cast again. Friends started up the year after. Other than Ferris, she did nothing that would have qualified her as a star before Leprechaun.

As others already said, Kiefer and Sheen are good examples. Teri Hatcher from Desperate Housewives. Mark Harmon is prob another good one - NCIS brought him front and circle. (Not even Chicago Hope really put him back on the map like NCIS is doing)
