The "boys" and "girls" on the list have to work really hard to not be forgotten or end up in obscure B movies.
I challenge all young stars who want to keep getting exposure. They need to do more fantasy or fairy tale adventures, as well as adaptions of young adult novels. A few have already done that, but more of them should contribute to those genres while it's still hot and makes money.
But even that is not enough. I wanna see everyone of them dive into projects by Cronenberg, Lynch, von Trier, Aronofsky, Tarantino, Rodriguez, John Waters, Gilliam, Hezrog, Bertolucci, Jeunet, Larry Clark, Wes Anderson etc just to give some examples. Experimental films, avant-garde, controversial roles etc etc... stuff where they can express themselves in a lot of ways and take the "flavor of the month" and "mainstream actor" labels off themselves
15 years ago (1999), Brad Renfro and Kevin Zegers were at the top of the game. David Gallagher was a rising star. Since then, we've got Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom. What did these people do right or wrong? Hollywood needs to learn from mistakes of the past and support the youngsters as best as possible.
