"so yeah he became a b-movie actor. but he wasn't always."
I think that is the way to look at it so I agree.
He was in this movie which is under the radar called, "Tell Them Willy Boy Is Here," which also starred Robert Redford and I don't think of him as ever being in any B movies.

he became one. many become b-movie actors.
but IN COLD BLOOD is NOT a b-movie.
and when he was a kid, you have to remember, he was in more movies than when he got older. he was basically a has-been by 10 years old. so everything he got, whether a, b or c movies, was a miracle with his persona and all he did before.
people don't lump him in with crazy child actors but he's simply a child actor who grew up.
he did more work than most child actors.
so yeah he became a b-movie actor. but he wasn't always.

You can answer that question in two ways.
Yes, because that was the kind of film he made.
No, he could have carried bigger films if given the chance.
Personally I don't know. There was a time when his image from Electra Glide in Blue was iconic - you saw the poster everywhere. But that didn't lead to a big film career - perhaps he was just too short?
I have always depended on the kindness of Strangers - and the bastards let me down!

In Cold Blood and Electra Glide in Blue are fine quality movies, so they don't really qualify as B-grade pictures.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

This time the committee will let it go.

That seems accurate. I know he was trying to break into snuff films, but he forgot to turn on the camera when he was murdering his wife. D'oh!

I would agree with that. While he was a successful actor the fact that he never opened a blockbuster means I agree he was a B-movie/character actor.

You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.
