Rather generalised but Orange Is The New Black cast are absolutely amazing. Look at Crazy for example (Uzo Aducosomething)- herself in real life is absolutely nothing like Crazy but watching her you feel freaked out. People in TV shows never seem to get enough credit idk

Are there any emotional performances from Selena Gomez that have brought you to tears? No, because she plays the same role in everything she is in.
Whilst Zac Efron is a fantastic comedic actor, I sense that that is not why you picked him.
Which performance did you pick Theo James as a fantastic actor for? Please don't tell me it was the Divergent series, which flopped at the box office because the second movie was so lifeless that everyone had almost given up by the time they got to the third film.
I am not denying the fact that Theo James is handsome. The one facial expression he is able to do when "acting" is certainly not an unattractive one.
The reason why people are given the title of "A-List Actors" is because they are phenomenal at their craft and have the ability to bring audiences to tears, not because they are "so hot". If you had cited these actors because of their acting abilities or the incredible range of characters they can play, I would agree entirely with you. Instead, you have picked them based on appearance.
Whilst appearance definitely plays a part in why actors are being chosen, why do you think that Theo James chose to become an actor? Because he wanted to get better at his craft and perform to people, or because he wanted to show off his looks? To simply choose someone based on their appearance is disrespectful to them and shallow.

I also agree with you on your point about people in TV shows never getting enough credit. It's one of the reasons why I would consider adding Evan Peters for his characters on American Horror Story. He is able to play damaged psychopaths like Tate who are still somewhat likeable, psychologically damaged and vulnerable characters such as Kyle and completely deranged characters such as Mr March. The accent he does as Mr March is a difficult one to pull off, but he is barely recognisable as himself whilst in role because he is so deeply in character.

What is the definition of an A list actor?
Oscar winner?
Box office current or past?
Acting ability alone?
Fame?

Completely agree on both accounts. The entire cast in OITNB are amazing, especially Uzo Aduba. I would also possibly add Taryn Manning to that list as well, as Pennsatucky. You really begin to hate Pennsatucky because of how cruel and irrational she is, but you also feel sorry for her, especially as her character develops and you learn more about her.

Without a doubt the man in your profile picture (James Gandolfini, may be RIP). Just finished watching The Sopranos and he was an extraordinary actor, simply gold.

Yes! Evan Peters!!! Jessica Lange is already out there in the A-List world, but Lizzie Brochere (Grace- Asylum) is French yet her English was insane! Lana, Thredson... what an amazing cast
