Michelle Yeoh is up there with Pedro Pascal for great actors that are over exposed.

One of the things I loved about The Expanse,The Boys, Tales from the Loop and other Prime shows was there wasn't a single A list actor.

    The Boys had Karl Urban, and I think that show has made Jack Quaid a star. They’re definitely A-listers now if they weren’t already.

    Michelle Yeoh and Pedro Pascal are what I would call superstars. And I agree, they’re either overplayed or taking too many bad gigs. The former applying more to Pascal and the latter applying more to Yeoh.

    The Expanse had Shohreh. The Boys had Karl Urban.

    I would consider both of them to be A list even before those two shows.

    Shohreh didn't have a single lead role in a movie or TV show beforehand. She wasn't even B list at the time of Expanse despite a long successful career. Karl Urban is B. He had Dread 15 years earlier where his face was covered. Trek was supporting. Thor was a minor role.

    The A, B, unknown tiers have nothing to do with the actors ability but their current popularity to get viewers to watch what they are in.
