Between 2011 and 2012, there are a few great actors that will be coming out of there shell and be in several films. This list of actors is actors who are in several films in the next two years. Also, this list is also for actors who had their breakout year this past year and may not be signed on for much, but definitely will do great things soon.
Andrew Garfield: Mr. Garfield has been in several things these previous two years and has not given a bad performance. He was in the Red Riding Trilogy, Never Let Me Go, Lions for Lambs (not two years ago, but still worth mentioning), and most recently The Social Network (where he was snubbed for an Oscar nom). He is British (like all GREAT actors) and can hide his accent well. He will be seen soon in the new Spiderman reboot. I do not agree that we need to see a new Spiderman so soon after the last three, but with the casting of him as PP and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacey, I think the acting could be better than the other three.
Jennifer Lawrence: Ms. Lawrence is of Winter’s Bone fame. If you haven’t heard of this movie, I think you should check it out. I have not yet seen the film (purely because I’m not going to spend $20 to buy it; I’ll wait until it goes down in price). But I have heard that she does very well and she is nominated for Best Actress this year for the Oscars. Next year we will see her playing a younger Mystique in the film X-Men: First Class. Great new things will be coming from her.
Tom Hiddleston: Mr. Hiddleston is not very well know as of yet. The only way you will have known this man is if you watch the BBC/Masterpiece shows Return to Cranford, Miss Austen Regrets, and Wallander. But after this summer, you will all know him as Loki. He has been cast in the Kenneth Branagh directed film Thor as the villain, Loki, god of mischief. Other films that he will be in are the films War Horse (one of Steven Spielberg’s next films) and Midnight in Paris (a rom-com by Woody Allen).
Olivia Wilde: She is already famous. Most of you have seen this beautiful woman. Have you seen House (or the last three seasons? Then you have seen her. Have you seen Tron: Legacy yet? Then you have seen her. She plays Thirteen and played Quorra, respectively. She was in The Next Three Days, but that really wasn’t big. She is not just a pretty face. Her acting ability trumps almost every other young and gorgeous actress working today (move over Megan Fox).
Michael Fassbender: Another name that I know no one knows. The only two major films he has been in are Inglourious Basterds and Centurion. He was better in Basterds than Centurion (played Lieutenant Archie Hicox, the British-undercover-as-a-German). But this next year he is in four films this year, all of them major films: Jane Eyre (Mr. Rochester), X-Men: First Class (the younger Magneto), A dangerous Mind (A David Cronenberg film about Sigmund Freud), and Haywire (an action flick directed by Steven Soderbergh, director of Ocean’s Trilogy).
Hailee Steinfeld: Not signed onto anything just yet, Ms. Steinfeld was in True Grit as the lead Mattie Ross. Her portrayal gave her an Oscar nomination this year (her first film and at age 14 too). I believe we can all see great things from her in the years to come.
Aaron Johnson: Mr. Johnson was in two films this year: (Sorry language sensitive readers) Kick Ass and Nowhere Boy, playing the leads in both films (the second being about John Lennon and his start to music fame). Though he has only one main stream film next year (Albert Nobbs with Glenn Close and Brendan Gleeson), he too isn’t going to be seen much next year, but this isn’t the end of this tremendously brilliant, British actor.
Chloe Grace Moretz: Also of Kick Ass fame, she got her big break this year. After beating up adults as Hit Girl and she then fed on humans as the vampire in Let Me In. She has signed onto many low budget films next year, except for the new Martin Scorsese film Hugo Cabret.
Tom Hardy: Mr. Hardy is most famous now for his role as Eames in Inception, but he wasn’t always Eames. He was Heathcliff and Bill Sykes in the newest Masterpiece Classic shows Wuthering Heights and Oliver Twist (in which he should have been nominated for Emmys and Golden Globes), Bronson as the title role Charles Bronson, and he was in the Guy Ritchie film RockNRolla (great movie). And these next few years is going to be many big budget films like the reboot of Mad Max, a great spy thriller called Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, and a film called This Means War (another spy thriller with Chris Pine), and he will be playing the main villain in the third and final Nolan Batman film as Bane. Of all of these actors, I would say he is my favorite.
Noomi Rapace: Right out of the famous Millennium Trilogy films, Noomi Rapace is going to be a star that will forever embedded into moviegoers’ and film critics’ minds as one of the greatest actresses of all time. That may be a giant leap for those who haven’t seen these films, but I have and she is AMAZING and I very rarely like to watch foreign language films. This next year she is in one major film. You might have heard of it: a little sequel of a film called Sherlock Holmes 2 (at least that is the title for now). We will not see the end of her after that. Trust me.
I’m tired so now is time where I leave you. I will try to get that review up for The Way Back by the end of the week (and a little surprise review too). Look for my fourth installment of this series soon: Actors Who Until Recently I Have Disliked.
