"Stacked Actors" is a Foo Fighters song which was only released as a commercial single to buy in Australia in 2000. However radio promos were released in other countries for airplay. It is taken from the band's 1999 album There Is Nothing Left to Lose.

This song is thought to be about the mysterious death of Kurt Cobain as the lyrics proclaim "All I want is the truth" and "I think it's time we all should come clean." In this song it appears Dave Grohl is blaming Courtney Love for Cobain's death. Alternatively, some people believe this song is about the shallowness of people from Los Angeles.

The B-sides came from the 2 Meter Sessions. They were performed live in the Netherlands on November 22, 1999.
