Look at the definition of A list ENT gave. A list is technically anyone who is the lead role of a show. The blind says:

"I guess this actor is considered an A list television actor although honestly, it is just the name of the show everyone remembers."

Michael C Hall is lead in Dexter,a hit show for 3 seasons. So he says he guesses this guy is considered A list(as the lead role) even tho everyone really only knows the name of the show(Dexter), not the actor's name.

Thanks for proving my point, star_grades.

I dunno, I think some of these guesses are getting WAY off track. They are all A or B list celebs. While I am not huge on this kind of thing, I would suspect that A and B list at least mean that I would know who they were. Who the hell is Mary McDonald and Michael C?
Go back to the clues.
#1:
Male.
A list TV star.
B list Movie star
B list name recognition.
Crime Drama.

To me, all of those add up to Chris Noth. He was Mr. Big, that's gotta be A list TV, B list Movie. He would also have B list name recognition.
Currently in a Crime Drama - Law and Order.

#2:
Male.
A list TV.
Name of show more recognisable.

I like the Ray Romano guess. As much as I always thought he was a bit of a douche, the clue fits well. It can't be someone from Friends, because they became stars along with their characters. People know the name of the show, the name of the characters AND the actors' names.
Other than RR, I thought of Christopher Meloni, or Jerry Seinfeld to tie in with that theme of the name. My only issue with that guess is that he is no longer on TV, and his most recent work was Bee Movie.

#3:
Female.
B List.
Hit Network Drama.
Had a previous TV role.
Previous role more famous than current.
Past character did not have a soft spot.

The only actresses that I could think of that had past, popular TV roles were Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Fran Drescher, Jennifer Love-Hewitt and Calista Flockhart. Obviously its not Fran Drescher, because she isn't currently on TV. Jennifer Love-Hewitt was in Party of Five, but I would say that was a fairly soft role, and that she would be more famous for the teen movies she was in, rather than TV work? And Julia Louis-Dreyfus isn't in a drama. (I am not from the States, so I don't really understand the Network/Cable thing, but Google is my friend & helping)
Ally McBeal would be Flockharts more famous role. Also, I wouldn't describe McBeal as having a soft spot. She was cracked. So that would sort of fit. I'm not 100% sold, but I think it' the best guess so far.

#4:
Female.
B list.
A list name recognition.
Hit Network Comedy.
Boyfriend is most likely famous.

I was sold on Christina Applegate until I read the boyfriend bit. So Hit Network Comedies (at least in my part of the world) include:
Ugly Betty,
How I Met Your Mother,
My Name is Earl,
2.5 Men.
If I had to take a stabd at it (because I can't be bothered researching who has boyfriends out of this choice of casts) I would pick Alyson Hannigan from HIMYM.

Marcia Cross for #3, and I like the Gary Sinise guess for # 1.

2008-12-13T19:11:00.000-08:00

I thought Hugh Laurie for #2. All anyone knows is "House".

my first thought was Meloni for #1, but I am not sure.

Aww, thank you for so many kindnesses! I love them...

2008-12-13T10:09:00.000-08:00

and since I am new at this....can anyone define "A list"? I mean, I know the obvious ones, but that's only a hand full of celebs. is there a checklist or anything that will define someone as A list???

2008-12-13T10:06:00.000-08:00

what about mila kunis for #4? the hit network comedy being family guy, the bf being macaulay culkin.

2008-12-13T05:34:00.000-08:00

2-Michael C. Hall aka DEXTER!
How many people know his name versus just know him as Dexter?

1)Vincent D'Onfrio or Michael Chiklis
3)Marcia sounds good
4)Jane Krawkoski is a good guess. I'd say Jenna Fischer but I dont think she has A list name recognition though she should.

2008-12-13T01:07:00.000-08:00

I like the "Cheers" theme guess. That was the first thing to come to my mind as well. I say #2 is Ted Danson.

2008-12-12T21:09:00.000-08:00

The best thing about being blind items is that these good people do it from the heart, not for the publicity.

So keep them blind and their doing good works that don't show up in the photos inside In Style Magazine or Vanity Fair.

2008-12-12T20:20:00.000-08:00

1. I wish it were Gary Sinise. I love him and think he is soooo sexy. Things like things make a man even sexier, BTW!

2. Pretty vague, no guesses really.

3. I don't see how it can be Calista Flockhart, as "Ally McBeal" wasn't really a cold-hearted, nasty character, was she? By saying the actress has a soft spot when compared to a previous character she played, it seems we are being pointed to someone who played a yucky person. That could include someone like Christina Applegate (who played the uber-stupid and selfish Kelly Bundy). Oddly, the first person who came to mind, however, was Jessica Walter. I don't know if the new 90210 is a "hit" network drama, but Lucille Bluth sure was the bitch of all bitches!

4. While she definitely is a good idea, I'm not sure this one can be Christina Applegate. Remember that her boyfriend died of an overdose a few months ago? It was just before she revealed her cancer, I believe. This item seems like it is talking about someone who has at least a semi-long term boyfriend, if they are sharing volunteer experiences. I just can't think of many not-married-but-boyfriend-having-women on hit comedies!

2008-12-12T19:33:00.000-08:00

#2 sounds like Ray Romano to me. He has A-list name reco but it's just because his show is called "Everybody Loves Raymond."

God bless them, whoever they are.

2008-12-12T19:15:00.000-08:00

God bless them, whoever they are.

2008-12-12T18:52:00.000-08:00

#3 - This actress is B list. Hit network drama which I refuse to watch. Totally in contrast with her earlier more famous television role, this actress has a big soft spot.
Mary McDonnell is guest-starring on Grey's this season but played / is playing a bit of a stone-hearted president on Battlestar Galactica.

2008-12-12T18:37:00.000-08:00

#1 - Gary Sinise was the first to pop into my head

#2 - i like the Cristopher Meloni
guess

#3 - Marcia Cross. I don't think Eva longoria's former gig was a "more famous tv role" but everybody knows Kimberly Shaw

#4 - i first thought of Cristina Applegate but i can't find if she's dating someone

2008-12-12T17:37:00.000-08:00

katie-
william peterson.
i thought about him, too, because i've been a fan of his for years, but his name always eluded me.
but i've always loved gary sinise, and i'm willing to bet he's worth more than peterson.
i don't even watch the other CSIs anymore, and i may stop watching after gris leaves. at least greg is still there.
