100 B- movie Actors and Actresses !

[AnubisVonMojo]

No.50 - Michael Berryman - Probably the most nightmarish looking human being in the world, the big lovable troll has had his fair share of parts and earned his place on this list.

[Allhallowsday]

SIMON OAKLAND who was in lots of flix like I WANT TO LIVE, PSYCHO, TONY ROME... and of course, Vincenzo from "The Night Stalker" TV movies and series...

52. Tor Johnson

One of Ed Wood's returning actors, he almost always played monsters.
He's been in classics like Bride of the monster and Night of the ghouls.
But I think his most memorable performance was in The beast of Yucca flats.

OOPS! Tor is # 22!    

I've been updating the list in the first post...right under  Bela Lugosi!...so it's eay to see who's on and who isn't!

Sorry, I read through it, but didn't saw him. I wasn't paying enough attention, as it seems...I'll delete my post above.

Please...feel free to post another!

Uh...oh! TOR TRIVIA TIME!!!!

Tor started in films as far back as 1934! In bit parts....usually uncredited. He was in KID MILLIONS (1934) with Eddie Cantor,The GHOST CATCHERS (1944) ,the LEMON DROP KID (1951) both with  with Bob Hope,BEHIND LOCKED DOORS (aka the HUMAN GORILLA (1948),...and most interestingly-to me at least...the Monkee's HEAD! (though he's not listed as appearing on imdb!)

53. Dennis Hopper

Maybe no one has had a more balanced career between budget and bad movies than Dennis. Plays a great psycho or a down on his luck loser as well as anybody.

53 (I think Dennis Hopper was catually 52).  TURA SATANA.  Her iconic performance in FASTER p***yCAT! KILL! KILL! alone is enough to get her on the list.

54. PETER LORRE: sure he was a megastar in many "A" pictures but he also did more than his share of arguable "B"s to include him on this list. MAD LOVE, several MR. MOTO films, YOU'LL FIND OUT, INVISIBLE AGENT, THE BOOGIE MAN WILL GET YOU, ARSENIC AND OLD LACE, THE BEAST WITH FIVE FINGERS, MY FAVORITE BRUNETTE, QUICKSAND, 20000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA, AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS, VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA, TALES OF TERROR, THE RAVEN, THE COMEDY OF TERRORS, MUSCLE BEACH PARTY

55. Lionel Atwill



Like many of the other "Golden Age" star mentioned Atwill played several important supporting roles in 'A' films such as THE DEVIL IS A WOMAN, CAPTAIN BLOOD, and THE THREE MUSKETEERS - but he's best remembered as Horrorwood's "Maddest Mad Doctor"" in such films as MYSTERY IN THE WAX MUSEUM, THE VAMPIRE BAT,  THE GORILLA, DOCTOR X, MAD DOCTOR OF MARKET STREET, and memorable over-the-top roles in several Universal horrors like MAN MADE MONSTER, SON OF FRANKENSTEIN, NIGHT MONSTER, and HOUSE OF DRACULA.

Everybody remembers Karloff's monster ripping Atwill's fake arm from its socket in SON OF FRANKENSTEIN!

56 - Jackie Coogan - OK, he did some classic stuff as a kid, and he was primarily a TV actor in later years, but the guy who played Uncle Fester on The Addams Family had a respectable list of b-movies, exploitation and assorted cheese to his name. Just a sampling: Mesa of Lost Women, High School Confidential, Space Children, The Beat Generation, Sex Kittens Go to College, Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Hype and his final film, The Prey.

[Rev. Powell]

57. Lana Clarkson



Best known for BARBARIAN QUEEN and its sequel, she also appeared in FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH, DEATHSTALKER, AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON, THE HAUNTING OPF MORELLA and VICE GIRLS.  

Sadly, the general public may remember her as the actress Phil Spector killed, but I'll always remember her as the woman who took my exploitation movie virginity.

Can an actress who appeared in only two genre films be included?  If so, I nominate CANDACE HILLIGOSS from CARNIVAL OF SOULS and THE CURSE OF THE LIVING CORPSE...

[RCMerchant]

 This guy NEEDS to be here...!

59.The BRUTE MAN...the CREEPER himself!!! RONDO HATTON!

Afflicted with acromegaly...he appeared in horror films...with his own face providing the cheap shocks. He appeared (uncredited) in the 1939 version of the HUNCHBACK of NOTRE DAME,and starred in the PEARL of DEATH(1944) as the Creeper, with Basil Rathbone and Evelyn Ankers,JUNGLE CAPTIVE(1945) with Otto (DRACULA'S DAUGHTER) Kruger, the SPIDER WOMAN STRIKES BACK (1946),HOUSE of HORRORS (1946) as the Creeper again!, and as the BRUTE MAN (1946)...again as the Creeper!!!!

He holds internet fame as is evidenced by the Rondo Awards !
