A new breed of actor: Professional Reality Star
How many spin offs did "New York," from the "Flavor of Love" reality series, star in? 5, maybe 6 shows, before we finally got enough of her. However she isn't the only one with multiple reality shows under her belt. There's a sort of trend happening in reality tv that has popular reality characters crossing onto various other reality series'. But coining these recurring RTV personalities "actors", considering they're supposed to be "real" people, just wouldn't be right. Therefore, it would only be fitting that characters like "New York" or Mike "the Miz" Mizanin, be officially titled and classified as "Professional Reality Stars." A new hybrid of TV star that isn't quite actor and isn't, technically, your ordinary joe. So I guess, not every reality show's cast is comprised of "real" people. Some of them have experience.

Yeah that makes sense for them to be called "reality stars" but i dont know if i would go as far as call them professional.. Anyone on earth could jump in and do their jobs just as well.. without any training at all
I disagree with the comment above me and would go ahead and call them professional as you mentioned in your post, because they have been around the block and are familiar with the ways that reality shows operate, and how to play things up to make the show interesting for their personal benefit of fame.
