first class vs first grade

A sentence:

"I was awarded First-class actor. By 1996, I was honoured First-class actor."

My questions :

(1)What's the difference between " first-class" and "first-grade" ?

(2)Can I use the latter instead?

Emotion: stick out tongue

Hello HLY You can say "a first grade actor" as well as "a first class actor" and "a grade A actor". But "a first grade student" would be taken to differ in the meaning from "a first class student" or "a grade A student". paco
