C-list
Almost-famous celebrity tier
C-list describes celebrities, entertainers, or public figures of minimal fame or influence—below the A-list stars and even the B-list supporting players.
A C-list actor might be recognized from a single minor role or reality show appearance.
The term often carries dismissive connotations: The party was full of C-list influencers hoping to be photographed.
