Greatest Young Actors

The Top Ten
1 Heath Ledger Heath Andrew Ledger was an Australian actor and director. After performing roles in Australian television and film during the 1990s, Ledger left for the United States in 1998 to develop his film career.

There is no words for the talent that Heath had, in all of his movies he showed his ability to change his whole manner and personality... Everybody knows he is the BEST!

I like to believe that God wasn't trying to punish us. He, simply, wanted to be closer to the amazing man.

Um... I don't know. I mean he was one of the best, but the best? Nah... I think he deserves 2# and Jake Gyllenhaal 3#.

He was such a talented person. Too bad he left us

2 Jake Gyllenhaal Jacob Benjamin "Jake" Gyllenhaal (born December 19, 1980) is an American actor, known for his work in films like "Donnie Darko", "Brokeback Mountain", "Prisoners" and "Nightcrawler". He is the son of director Stephen Gyllenhaal and producer/screenwriter Naomi Foner. Jake and his sister Maggie have been acting since childhood.

His best one was probably Brokeback Mountain, which is one of my all time favorites.

3 Jesse Eisenberg Jesse Adam Eisenberg is an American actor, author, playwright, and humorist. He made his television debut with the short-lived comedy-drama series Get Real.

I hope they make another concentration camp for people like him.

This guy stinks so bad, I can smell him across the Atlantic.

4 Joseph Gordon-Levitt Joseph Leonard Gordon-Levitt is an American actor, filmmaker, singer, and entrepreneur. He has received various accolades, including nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for his leading performances in 500 Days of Summer and 50/50.

6 Elijah Wood Elijah Jordan Wood is an American actor, voice actor, DJ, and producer. He is best known for his role as Frodo Baggins in Peter Jackson's epic film trilogy The Lord of the Rings.

Loved his acting in Lord of the Rings. Okay, I don't really know any other films he has made but... Good, though

7 Daniel Radcliffe Daniel Jacob Radcliffe is an English actor who rose to prominence as the title character in the Harry Potter film series.

Daniel radcliffe is a great actor with immense talents. He is handsome, caring, kind, understanding and magnificent. He should be the 1st. He is great compared to the other actors of his age. LOVE YOU!

8 Chloe Grace Moretz Chloë Grace Moretz is an American actress and model. She began her acting career in 2004 at the age of seven, and her first award nomination came the following year for The Amityville Horror.

The Contenders
11 Suraj Sharma

The most impressive, sassy, stupendous and handsome guy I have ever seen in my whole life! SURAJ FOR LIFE.. I wish him success in all his endeavors.. Love you like crazy SURAJ SHARMA! Can't wait to watch MDA

Well, need I say anything about this young, heart-throb of Life of Pi fame! Total element of selfless acting and so forth... Love this lil guy! So much

Dudes seriously? He should be up there. He is just amazing!

Unbelievable performance in LIfe of Pi. Great going

12 Dylan O'Brien Dylan O'Brien is an American actor. He is known for his lead role as Thomas in the dystopian science-fiction adventure trilogy The Maze Runner and for his role as Stiles Stilinski in the MTV television series Teen Wolf.

He is the best! He should have been number 1! And Maze Runner is the best movie EVER made! DYLAN O'BRIEN!

13 Dane DeHaan
14 Michael Cera

he's absolutely funny guy

15 River Phoenix River Jude Phoenix, born River Jude Bottom (August 23, 1970 – October 31, 1993) was an American actor, musician, and activist. He was the older brother of Rain Phoenix, Joaquin Phoenix, Liberty Phoenix and Summer Phoenix.

He was the most talented young actor of all time. He was very mature and wise in his roles. A beautiful person whose raw acting talent alone deserves him a position on this list.

16 Andrew Garfield Andrew Russell Garfield is a British-American actor. Born in Los Angeles, California and raised in Epsom, Surrey, Garfield began his career on the UK stage and in television productions. He's best known for The Amazing Spider-Man films, and The Social Network (a film about the founding of Facebook), in 2021 he returned as Spider-Man in Spider-Man No Way Home. Garfield intentionally said he wasn't in the movie, claiming that the leaked footage was "photoshop" and that he wasn't the "werewolf", however, when the movie was released said claims ended up being proven false. Proving that he was lying probably as part of a Non-Disclosure Agreement thing most likely.

Last time I voted for Dane Dehaan but I am voting for Andrew because I think he is a good actor I love him in The Amazing Spider Man series. Next time I will most likley vote for James Franco. (and yes all the people I vote for act in some Spider Man movies Spider Man biggest fan! )
