not sure I'd call him an a-lister... but Dan Fogler for a while seemed to be cast as the second option when Jack Black said no to something.
Now I wanna see the alternate universe where Jack Black was the muggle in the Fantastic Beasts trilogy instead of Dan Fogler.

Cameron Mitchell, when everyone else in the business was unavailable.

Director, "Look tell the casting agent to either get Nina Dobrev or Victoria Justice. Which ever one works cheaper."

Neil Breen, a really poor man's Harrison Ford.
Not sure if his career was that successful, but I remember thinking that Peter Sarsgaard resembled Kiefer Sutherland.

If you can't get Margot Robbie, get Samara Weaving. And if Samara Weaving is busy, call Jaime Pressly. What about Gillian Jacobs?

I'd literally never heard of Gillian Jacobs until right now, so I don't know where she'd fit in.

When IMDB had their forums (some of the threads are found on Filmboards, by the way), I remember seeing a thread for Half Past Dead 2 that referred to Kurupt (as in one half of Tha Dogg Pound) as a "poor man's Will Smith." The same thread said that he seemed like a poor man's Eddie Murphy as well.
Personally, I find that to be an insult to Kurupt, probably because I like him as a rapper. However, I can't argue that he is not much of an actor.

Through out the 80s and 90s, Charlie Sheen was the guy you got when you couldn't afford Tom Cruise.

Chris Noth is the TV project Alec Baldwin. Alec Baldwin's brothers were the budget movie versions of him.

If you don’t mind being really late to the party Community is absolutely worth checking out. It seemed to be arguably the favorite show of this board at least for a little while. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if you watched the show already but just didn’t know her name. Also, if you have a tolerance for characters who are genuinely bad people but not presented as such then Netflix’s Love is worth checking out. It’s a Judd Apatow series so if you like his movies, you’ll probably like that.

Not sure how Jaime Pressly is a good comparison because she has had a longer career than the other two and is older. Maybe in the 1990s depending on who she would be an alternative to. All of them are gorgeous, though.

They were looking to make Kevin Sorbo into the next Arnie, casting him on a Conan film when he said no... We all saw how that went.

I'm not slamming Jamie Pressly, I'm just playing into the joke that they all kinda look alike.

Even the B actors had their C equivalent, if you couldn't get Shannon Tweed you got Tane McLure

We're trying to do a remake of The Batwoman from 1968 and we've blown most of the budget on the fish monsters. We don't want substandard looking fish monsters. This is all going to come down to which actress is willing to dismiss their restraining order against me.

Rutger Hauer's trait was that he would do any movie for money. Christopher Lambet's trait was that he would do movies even Hauer wouldn't do. (Shannon Tweed's trait was long blonde hair tossed back during simulated sex).
