A- Lister?

How in the World is he not an A-lister is beyond me.

Well, he hadn't done anything very high profile until Supernatural, as much as I liked Dark Angel.

He had a few opportunities during Supernatural's run to do other projects but scheduling wouldn't allow him to do them and SPN at the same time, and he seems to be a loyal person, or must've signed a very restrictive contract.

Now that the show's over, hopefully he'll have the chance to be in some top tier shows and movies.
Personally, it doesn't really matter to me how commercially viable his projects are. I'd just like them to be worth watching and for him to keep getting roles for as long as he still wants to.

Yea but a lot of A-listers that suck keep getting good roles he should be getting. I dont find supernatural as an excuse cause there is plenty of actors that do multiple medias. I think if he didnt want to be an A-Lister, real famous, or real rich. He shouldnt be an actor. The fact that he is and a damn good one means he isnt taking advantage of his skill or playing to his potential.

All he has done is Supernatural. A good show, but it doesn’t speak to his range as an actor.

That he did Supernatural for 15 years will hinder his future career. Once an actor sticks with a role for so long, it becomes nearly impossible to shake off the image. No matter what he does, people will always point at the screen as say, “there’s Dean”
