Which young actors and actresses have you been so impressed with that you think will go on to be remembered as the finest of their generation?
I define "young" as under 35.
(I'm not into awards much so I don't mean winners but just top actors )
For me:
Caleb Landry Jones has been brilliant in everything I've seen him in. From Three Billboards, Nitram and Friday's Child
Paula Beer - One of the finest actresses around, She has been in Undine, Transit and Frantz
Barry Keoghan - amazing in The Killing of a sacred Deer, also good in Dunkirk.
Daniel Kaluuya - amazing in Sicario and Get Out
Daniel Zolghadri - this kid has something. He's only been in Eighth Grade, Low Tide and the tv series Tales from the Loop. But he has huge screen presence.
Olivia Cooke - brilliant in The Sound of Metal and thoroughbreds.
Helena Zengel - she is only 14 but was scintillating in System Crasher and News of the World
Hayley Lu Richardson - brilliant in The Edge of Seventeen and Columbus
Christopher Abbott - On the Count of Three, It Comes at Night
Mia Wasikowska - steals the screen in so many films - Bergman Island and Stoker etc
Maybe Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson too, as they are genuinely fine actors.
I think there are many more I have forgotten, especially from European and Asian cinema.
Who are yours?
