Ten Best Up and Coming Actors and Actresses

[The Senator]

Michael Cera

If he wants to be taken seriously as an actor, he'll need to stop playing the same character in every film he's in.

 

[cryptic name]

Paul Dano would be at the top of my list

 

[SuBe]

Tom Welling and his amazing talent.

Tom Welling is not a Good Actor. Sorry. It's True.

There's an Article on Wikipedia about how bad it is.

Guiness Book of World Records stopped talking to him, becuase he filled every catagory for Bad Actor.

There was a Top Ten List of Bad Actors, they had Tom Welling from 1 to 100.



But, I think after the Show is over, he'll be some sort of romantic comedy staple.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Sam Worthington. I sense this guy will make it big.

 

[Sawyer]

Michael Cera
Ellen Page
Robert Pattinson
Jensen Ackles
James Franco
Anton Yelchin
Kat Dennings
Jason Segal
Evangeline Lilly
Tahmoh Penikett

 

[SuBe]

Ben Foster. After his role in 3:10 to Yuma, how can he not be destined for greatness?

 

[Superark]

Man, how in the heck did I forget to put Casey Affleck and Ben Foster in my top 10?!?!

They're definitely some of the best young actors going today.

I also like Cilian Murphy and Keri Russell

 

[Lobo]

Maybe I should have been clearer in my thread title. I meant name 10 actors and 10 actresses

If he wants to be taken seriously as an actor, he'll need to stop playing the same character in every film he's in.

Why's that? It seems to work for Bruce Willis, Nicholas Cage, Jack Black, Will Ferrel, Tobey McGuire, etc.

Though to be serious I agree that he needs a role where he can expand, show what else he can do onscreen, though whenever Hollywood needs a young actor who can play charmingly awkward you gotta believe that Cera will probably be near the top of the list.

Three other actors I thought up were Thomas Dekker (who's got nice range and a good dark look), John Hutcherson (who's quite a good actor for his age) and Melonie Diaz who I only recently discovered and this is a pretty amazing actress.

 

[Abaddon]

I guess you only meant the teen crowd but I'll throw in Chiwetel Ejiofor anyway.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Casey Affleck
Ryan Gosling
Joseph Gordon Levitt
Chris Evans
Shia Labeouf
Emile Hirsch
James McAvoy
Channing Tatum
Ben Foster

I'll reserve the 10th spot until i see Yelchin and Worthington in something.


Michelle Monaghan
Ellen Page
Rachel McAdams
Emmy Rossum
Rachel Bilson
Maggie Gylenhaal
Kristen Stewart
Evan rachel Wood
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Jessica Biel

 

[Laderlappen]

People that have Megan Fox, Jessica Biel, Daniel Radcliffe, Channing Tatum etc om their lists, what kinda career do you think they'll have?

 

[Silvermoth]

Kevin Zegers hasn't really hit the big time yet so I'll nominate him.

I'ld say the whole cast of Gossip Girl is about to hit it big especially Penn Badgley and Blake Lively.

Plus Veronica Mars, she's right on the edge of stardom.

 

[The Reaper]

Shia Labeouf
Casey Affleck
Ryan Gosling
Joseph Gordon Levitt
Anton Yelchin
James McAvoy
Sam Worthington
Ben Foster
Emile Hirsch

Amy Adams
Ellen Page
Michelle Monaghan
Blake Lively
Rachel Bilson
Carice Van Houten
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Evan Rachel Wood
Zooey Deschanel

This thread is for up and comers, not established A listers

 

[Lobo]

I just read every post and i can't believe that NO ONE has written the tow best actors today Daniel Day-Lewis and Johnny Depp? WOW you even say Shia Lebeuf but not them?

This thread is for up and comers, not established A listers

Are you sure you read this thread right?

 

[Watson]

People that have Megan Fox, Jessica Biel, Daniel Radcliffe, Channing Tatum etc om their lists, what kinda career do you think they'll have?

As Dan Radcliffe's stint in Eqqus proved, he is a far more versatile actor then the Potter films allow him to be. He has also IMO improved in each Potter film. I don't think he will ever be mainstream sucessful in the way that Tom Hanks is (he is not nearly as likeable as even say Shia LaBoeuf), but I think he could carve out a niche for himself in art house and independent films, not to mention English dramas or mysteries.

As for the others, I think Channing Tatum could become a bankable action star. We'll have to see how GI Joe does though. He also has a pretty decent sense of comedic timing. He made me laugh a few times in She's the Man .

I will disagree with a lot of the guys on here of Megan Fox and Jessica Biel. I think Fox is destined to last only as long as her looks do. Her acting talent is nowhere near strong enough to allow her to endure. As for Biel, I see many romcoms and airplane movies in her future. I find her to be a very bland actress.

 

[Lobo]

It's oK I look forward to your list of who you feel are the best up and coming actors and actresses

 

[Jolie_Desastre]

Male Actor's

Ben Foster (it's ridiculous how underrated this actor is)
Jamie Bell
Anton Yelchin
Paul Dano
Emile Hirsche
Chris Evans
Jackson Rathbone
Joseph Gordon Levitt
Robert Pattinson
Tom Sturridge

( I would've put Shia Lebouf but he's basically made it as an A-list Actor. James McAvoy too)

Female Actresses

Rachel McAdams ( still don't think she gets the praise she deserves just yet)
Jena Malone
Ellen Page
Kristen Stewart
Alexis Dziena
Nikki Reed
Odette Yustman
Emily Browning
Megan Fox
Jessica Biel

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

Chris Pine may make a name for himself after Star Trek (2009)

I think Chris Pine, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin, Taylor Kitch will be the new breakout stars next year.

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

Movies are the best medium to break into the mainstream though.

Hayden Pannetiere is probably the only young star to recently make a big name for herself through a TV series.

 

[WeaponXProject]

Chris Pine may make a name for himself after Star Trek (2009)

I think Chris Pine, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin, Taylor Kitch will be the new breakout stars next year.

There will be big stars, the only one I think might have a hard time is Taylor Kitch. Because the other 3 have been in more than one movie or have more lined up. Sam's got two huge ones. Anton has starred as a lead in Charlie Bartlett and will probably be a big part in T-5. Chris Pine had a smaller part but cool part in Smokin Aces and is now the lead for the Trekkies. Taylor has Friday Night Lights series and most probably a small part as Gambit in Wolverine. I hope his Gambit part isn't just a toss in because Fox knew the fans were dying for it.
