Differences between A, B, and C players?

[Jude Rosenstock]

Jude, I agree with your analysis. This is a pretty accurate description and could even apply across geographies (which is sometimes hard to do because what is an A on the west coast isn't often viewed as what an A is on the east coast). Nicely put.

Yeah, the Westcoast guide is as follows:

D - Tom Cruise
C - Paul Neuman
B - Jackie Gleason
A - Jerry Orbach

Please note: Acting AND pool skills were combined for these ratings. Obviously, Mars Callahan is in a class by himself.

Great post btw.

But what does "gait" mean?

Gait specifically means a way of walking. I used it sort of as a synomyn for strutting.

I was thinking you ment something like that. I kinda was thinking the term "moxy" or "an aura of arrogance".

I wouldn't say "arrogant". That's derogatory and suggests their confidence is unfounded. I'm more implying those that show confidence and for good reason.

I wasnt using the term arrogant as deragatory. Almost like cocky/swagger....
