Top 10 Child Actor Performances

The Top Ten
1 Anna Paquin - The Piano

Won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

2 Natalie Portman - Leon

Should be first

3 Christian Bale - Empire of the Sun
4 Kirsten Dunst - Interview with the Vampire

She played as the little girl who is forced not to grow up because her life ended when she became a vampire. Dunst manage to make her character so sad but at the same time disturbing. Simply, one of the best performance ever, by a young girl or by actresses in general.

5 River Phoenix - Stand By Me

My all time favorite movie and a brilliant performance by River. We lost him too early. He makes me cry every time I watch the movie.

A favourite movie with a memorable performance from one of my favourite actors.

6 Leonardo DiCaprio - What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
7 Keisha Castle-Hughes - Whale Rider
8 Justin Henry - Kramer vs. Kramer

Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

9 Jean-Pierre Leaud - The 400 Blows
10 Macaulay Culkin - Home Alone
The Contenders
11 Tina Marjorino - When A Man Loves a Woman
12 Kirsten Dunst - Little Women
13 Haley Joel Osment - The Sixth Sense

I honestly thought he was better than Bruce Willis in this movie

14 David Bradley - Kes
15 James Bentley - The Others
16 Danny Lloyd - The Shining

Steals the show from the likes of Jack Nicholson, and that's no easy task

17 Linda Blair - The Exorcist
18 Chloe Grace Moretz - Let Me In
19 Anna Chlumsky - My Girl

I think she looked beautiful and adorable in that character cause at least she made me feel for her

20 Abigail Breslin - Little Miss Sunshine
21 Jodie Foster - Taxi Driver
22 Dakota Fanning - Man On Fire
23 Lindsay Lohan - The Parent Trap
24 Dakota Fanning - Uptown Girls
25 Jamie Bell - Billy Elliot
