The 50 hottest young actors today

Sheer acting talent and international appeal. That's what matter the most in our top 50 young actors list. But being popular doesn't hurt either, so we have that covered too! While you might think being cast in a huge box hit will rank high, think again- we believe you need to be more than just a box office star to be considered an actor.

How it all began. We started with more than 150 names, from Hollywood and the best of world cinema- featuring young actors from the most acclaimed films of the past 5 years. If the movies you've watched are mainly mainstream Hollywood fanfare, then some of the names (perhaps a lot of them!) will sound unfamiliar to you. Unlike other top list you have seen before, this one has a more international flavor. Hey, it's about time you get to see what your friends from the UK, Canada, Germany, France have been raving about!

The Age Factor. Where's Christian Bale and Tobey Maguire? How about the great Leonardo di Caprio or Oscar winner Adrien Brody? Or that amazing actor Moritz Bleibtreu? It would seem easy to have them at the very top of the list, but we narrowed the list to actors not older than 30. Even the likes of Cillian Murphy (31 yo) and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (30 yo) were excluded, though we surely love to have them!

What we have here are emerging talents, the ones you will see getting the big roles in the near future- some of them already did, with awards and nominations to boot.

Recent Update: The untimely death of actor Heath Ledger postponed our initial launch of this list. He was part of the top 50, a big part actually. While we deemed it best not to include his name anymore, we want to make sure our readers knew he was one of tMF's favorite actors.

Enough of talk, let's have them already!

Best young actors in 2007 movies: 4 parts series.�

The first half of 2007 saw some amazing (and disappointing) performances from a number of young actors. After the frenzy surrounding the awards season, the first 2-3 months of the year often seems like a time not to expect too much from films. But in 2007 that was not the case.

Breach, Zodiac, Black Snake Moan, The Wind that Shakes the Barley and The Lookout are just five amazingly good films. There were also a number of sorry failures, however, including Alpha Dog and The Invisible…�
