# 41: Prepare to be amused!
- - -
- - - Indeed, after Harry Potter, Biggerstaff was a revelation in Sean Ellis’ Cashback. He was so natural and so amusing in his role, no wonder he’s one of the UK’s most promising emerging talents. - - - # 40: The youngest in the top50 hotlist, French teen actor Jean Baptiste Maunier has an acting resume a lot of older actors would envy. - - -
- - - As Pierre Morhange, Jean Baptiste Maunier captured the hearts of Parisians in the highly successful Les Choristes (The Choir). Directed by Christophe Barratier, the film is about a passionate music teacher who arrives at a correctional boarding school for boys and transforms their lives through music. Maunier plays the rebellious Morhange who pretends to be a young devil but sings like an angel. The movie also paved the way for Maunier to secure further interesting movie roles, among them Le Grand Meaulnes, with another top French talent Nicolas Duvauchelle. - - - # 39: Even before Across the Universe or Becoming Jane, Joe Anderson is a wanted man - he’s a stage actor! Says Nathan Southern: - - -
- - -
We @tMF believe Mr. Anderson is destined for more leading roles and while he’s good at being part of the supporting cast, it’s about time he took first billing to further impress his growing audience. - - - # 38: Re-emerging as a young actor, Tom Sturridge returned to the big screen by capturing roles in a number of recent releases - Vanity Fair, Brothers of the Head, Being Julia and the film that gives him the most buzz nowadays, Like Minds. - - -
- - - As the young Georgy in Vanity Fair, he took to the role with much gusto, playing a spoiled, impressionable young boy who gave up his mother and settled in with his rich grandparents. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers played his father and although there are no scenes involving the two directly, he managed to act exactly like a younger version of the Rhys-Meyers character - a conniving, selfish man with little or no concern for the people who love him. - - - Support tMF by clicking these ads! Article continues below... - - - # 37: Talent runs in the family. That would seem quite appropriate in describing Max Minghella's background. With an Oscar-winning director as Dad (Anthony Minghella), and a Chinese choreographer as Mom (Carolyn Choa), Max seems to have a bright future in the entertainment industry. - - -
- - -
Notwithstanding his genes, the young college student is making headway on his own. Take a look at his recent work: In Syriana, he plays George Clooney's son, while in Bee Season, he is Richard Gere's favored sibling, until his young sister wins the spelling bee and he gets relegated to the background. Bee Season marks a turning point for Minghella as it led to a more prominent role in Art School Confidential. - - - # 36: You probably remember him as one of the leads in History Boys, but Dominic Cooper seems to have graduated from playing teen roles and is now taking on the challenge of more mature and controversial ones. - - -
- - - In The Duchess, Cooper shares the screen with Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes. In Mama Mia, he's been cast alongside such greats as Meryl Streep, Julie Walters, Stellan Skarsgård and Pierce Brosnan. But how did he started acting?
- - - # 35: Yes, he's that guy from Stardust and no, he's not Charlie Cox, the one who gets to play romantic with Claire Danes. He played a teeny weenie part, but undeniably, the young actor has screen presence - the very reason why he was chosen to play Prince Caspian in the next Chronicles of Narnia movie. - - -
- - - His name is Ben Barnes. Says UGO:
Barnes was supposedly part of the History Boys play but due to the filming of Narnia, he opted out of his contract to concentrate on the movie. - - -
- - -
- - - # 34: The movie is The Deaths Of Ian Stone and it’s a surprisingly good horror flick that you may have missed, if not you’ll certainly agree with me about Vogel and his awesome performance. He has an amazing screen presence and while he’s been cast mostly in horror/thriller flicks, I’m sure he’ll do just fine playing more serious, dramatic roles. - - - # 33: Roles that involved singing and acting would probably be one of the most challenging for actors today. It’s quite hard to be good at both. Not every good-looking actor who wanted to play the leading man can sing. There are just a few who can sing and act incredible: James Marsden, Joe Anderson, Zac Efron, and Sturgess. - - -
- - - In Julie Taymor’s Across the Universe, Sturgess is Jude, a character as much inspired by the Beatles as the movie itself. From London to his journey in America, Sturgess plays the role perfectly - he can be funny and amusing, romantic and fearless, serious and determined. There is also a fantastic chemistry between the actor and his co-star Evan Rachel Wood. - - -
# 32: Just like the other young actors we have chosen for the list, Charlie Hunnam's talent is undisputed and we look forward to seeing more of him portraying serious, notable roles in cutting-edge films. - - -
- - - Aside from the lead role in the film adaptation of the Dickens' classic Nicholas Nickleby, Hunnam starred as Nathan Maloney, a young gay teen in the TV series 'Queer as Folk'. The controversial role provided the young actor with a unique opportunity to showcase his talent and with the tremendous success of the series, he has become quite a celebrity. Together with Elijah Wood, Hunnam also worked with director Lexi Alexander for the film 'Green Street'. The film about football fans has been the subject of debate as some critics complained of the film's depiction of violent scenes as being 'too graphic'. Hunnam, who admitted to not having attended any football games, is quite philosophical about the whole issue. He commented: “...one of the most incredible things about being an actor (is) - the opportunity to have access to a world that, ordinarily, you would never be allowed into.” - - - # 31: Jo Walker sums up the young Canadian actor in this wonderful and insightful introduction: - - -
- - -
That role made people realize that Zegers has a lot more to offer than just playing teeny-bopper roles. He won the 2006 Cannes Film Festival Chopard Award, which is given to promising young actors for that breakthrough role.

Updated Photos?
written by danielbruehlfan, February 20, 2008
Hi, I just want to ask when will be the updated photos of the top 30 be posted? Daniel fans including me are so excited!
Daniel rules!
written by jed, February 20, 2008
we're also very excited! It took us more time than expected coz we are doing all the 50 names, and choosing the best photo for each of them, hence the delays!
But I'm pretty sure you'll love Daniel's part on the updated post!
...
written by danielbruehlfan, February 20, 2008
I'll wait
Anyway, I am the most active admin of the www.danielbruhl.com website... Agnes knows that, I find every news and photos of Daniel first! Daniel even said to me on his email that he is afraid of me cause I find things, photos about him which he never saw or knew all his life! He's very sweet on his emails! He wrote to the site almost ten times already!

As Jed mentioned, were just as excited to see what the final outcome will be and placement of the numerous great actors and favs of ours and everyone's as well! Thanks for the comments and for stopping by danielbruehlfan....
I'm hoping that Jake Gyllenhaal will still also be in the top 10, or even moved up a bit. Woo hoo for Ryan Gosling! Everyone's interest has been great, and great to see all the different devoted fans for many of the great actors out there at the moment. That's so great to hear danielbruehlfan, that Daniel himself appreciates your interest in acquiring info on him for his site. Not many actors would go out of their way like that. It's always nice to see an actor show his appreciation like that. As Jed said, our updated list and accompanying pics will be posted here very soon so please come back and visit, and thanks for your patience.

I hope Jim Sturgess made it good in the list too! He's like the twin brother of Daniel Bruehl, have you notice their resemblance?...
I don't know if I like Jim so much because he looks like Daniel or I just simply like him a lot in "Across the Universe"...

written by Michelle, April 04, 2008
Glad to see Jim Sturgess, Joe Anderson, Tom Sturridge and Sean Biggerstaff up there. They certainly deserve it.
I'd loved to see Jamie Bell, Robert Pattinson (I see many people seem to share my opinion), Henry Cavill and Eddie Redmayne up there too. They are all great actors and I can see them going far.
Rob # 1

Robert Pattinson no. 1? No way, there are others better than him in terms of talents... Wake up!
...
written by Annie, April 05, 2008
LMAO. This place has been invaded by the Robert Pattinson fangirls.
That said, if the responses to this post and the mega hype surrounding Twilight are any indication of his impending stardom, he definitely deserves a spot in the top 5. At the very least, he is a great, dedicated actor. But he's also incredibly charming, attractive and very gracious to fans. He was always bound to go far, and now that Twilight is in the mix... is there any doubt?
UMMMM.... ROBERT PATTINSON!!!!!
written by LALALA, April 05, 2008
Robert Pattinson should be # 1 because he's awesome, hot, and he is totally Edward. (and he as an accent :]
Pattison = #1
written by Anne, April 05, 2008
Robert Pattison is my #1 and should therefore be #1 on this list,there are way too many good words to describe him
...
written by Anonymous, April 05, 2008
danielbruehlfan, this poll isn't merely about acting skills. No one said anything about him being "the best" either. It's about 'hotness', and that includes international appeal.
Robert Pattinson is bringing it. Maybe you're just not aware of the magnitude of the money-making machine that is Twilight and his involvement in it. At the moment, it's still pretty much on the down-low, but everyone on board (except maybe the actors themselves) is aware that it is going to be big.
But what about Henry?
written by lissy614, April 05, 2008
While Robert Pattinson is gorgeous, and will make an amazing Edward Cullen, let us not forget about Henry Cavill. You have to remember he was Stephenie Meyer's first pick for Edward; but not only that he's absolutely gorgeous and incredibly talented.
In my mind, anyway, it should be Henry Cavill #1, Robert Pattinson #2
ROB PATTINSON!
written by Esther, April 05, 2008
Rob Pattinson should be at least top 3!!!
(I personally think that he should be number 1!!!)
Rob is #1
written by maris, April 05, 2008
OH MY GOD! Whould people shut up about Henry & Gaspard. Their not Edward OKAY! Yeah Henry is cute but he just doesn't look like an Edward. Edward is described lanky,less bulky,with untidy,bronz-colord hair & more boyish. That is just how Rob looks. Okay anybody who wanted Gaspard to be Edward is really crazy. I don't see why girls think he's the hottest thing around. He's not even cute. I'm so happy Stephenie didn't really like Gaspard for Edward. Actually I have to confess something. I pictured Edward as The lead singer of Maroon 5 Adam levine because he is so beautiful. But, I really love Rob as Edaward. I thought he was so good for the part the day I saw the cast. I was laughing my ass off on all the girls who hated him and wanted Gaspard to play Edward. I was like "hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Rob is playing Edward". I love Robert he sould be #1
Jim Sturgess is amazing! period.
written by cici-tee, April 05, 2008
okay, most of this RPattz stuff is just cuz he's gonna be Edward, and he's awesome but come on! have u SEEN Jim??? LOVE HIM! hot, but also extremely talented! acting and singing! yay!
he definitely deserves number one!
...
written by hummingbird, April 06, 2008
Okay......I agree very much that Robert Pattinson should definately be at the very top. If he's not #1, he should definately be #2.
And I was very sad to see Sean Biggerstaff all the way down at #41. He should be way higher on the list. Definately top 10.
...
written by ana, April 06, 2008
Robert Pattinson should be #1!!!!!!!!! Is there a way to vote or something? He should definitely be in the top 3 but he deserves #1!
Rob...please?
written by ES, April 06, 2008
ahhhhh when are we going to see Robert win?
I keep checking just to see his beautiful face in the #1 position!
Wow
written by Chloe, April 06, 2008
Wow look at all the Robert Pattinson fans go! Good on you girls
Robert♥
written by Brienna, April 06, 2008
He is a freakinn sexyy man. Of course he isnt the perfect Edward, because everyone has their own idea of what he should look like. But think about it: Hes hot, he has bronze untidy hair, hes tall, lanky, has muscles but he isnt bulky. What the hell are you complaining about? As for Gaspard and Henry, EWW. Okay so they are both cute, but they dont look anything like Edward. And face it, hes going to be Edward and you cantt change it. SO GET OVER IT
Wow
written by Rathmony, April 06, 2008
Haha, well, it seems like this website has been invaded by us Twilight fans too
But yeah, totally rooting for Gaspard Ulliel, I mean, the man's gorgeous! I was really surprised to see Jean-Baptiste Maunier up there, I mean, I thought he'd become totally forgotten by now... well, not by me Though that isn't the best picture of him...
Hands Down
written by Jaen, April 06, 2008
I think many have already made it clear that it's hands down Robert Pattinson. This year is definitely his time to shine. It's about time! He's going to break out into superstardom and there's no one out there that's going to stop him.
Technical problem?
written by Jenn, April 08, 2008
Something is wrong with this page, the advertisement column is overlapping the text (descriptions) of the actors. Can the webmaster take a look and fix it?
ROBERT PATTINSON!

It would seem hard to talk about Casey Affleck without mentioning his brother Ben or vice versa. The brothers have been the subject of many articles - from their looks and their relationships to Ben’s decision to cast his brother in Gone Baby Gone and the completely different career paths both guys took on: Casey remained oblivious to the glamour and glitz of Hollywood, while Ben adjusted to the glare of being in the spotlight.

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers - The 30-year old Irish actor is known for speaking his mind- he is quite vocal about a number of issues- from the failings of the film industry to dealing with directors with huge egos to the irrelevance of celebrities & the lack of real talent in some of today’s biggest box-office stars. [ read more ]

Not many people are blessed with the opportunity to enter a deeply rewarding and exciting career. In the case of Michael Angarano, it has been like that since he was 5 years old. As a young model, he was exposed early to the hustle and bustle of a glam job. Not surprisingly, he began his successful transition into acting a couple of years later. [ read more ]
Kostja Ullmann: Taking on such a challenging role is not a new departure for the actor. After appearing in a variety of shows on German television, Ullmann was offered the role of Achim, one of the leads in Marco Kreuzpaintner’s Summer Storm. [ read more ]
