20 Actors Between 20-25 to Watch until They’re 30

This week I was thinking about making a compilation of 20 actors (women and men) between the ages of 20-25 to keep track until they’re 30. I tried writing the post today, but it turns out I don’t have many names. Ha! First, some of the people I was considering adding to the list are 26, or not even 20… or are already in their 30s, which is great for them since I thought they were in their 20s… not so good for my list.
At the moment though, I have 8 actresses already picked out. However, I’m missing 2 more actresses. And I’m missing all of the guys (10). HAHAHAHA. So I need help. Leave a comment with some names of young actors/actresses.
Just some things to keep in mind…
- must be between 20-25, can also be turning 20 this year.
- must have more than one or two films on her/his CV.
- too much TV and only 1 film doesn’t count.
- award recognition is nice, but not mandatory.
As I add the people in single posts, I’ll be adding their names here and linking.

[...] this issue. If you visit the site, you already knew that I was going to add Yu Aoi to my list of Actors to Watch Until They’re 30, right? The issue here was which position I would place her… well, you’d be surprised [...]
on Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Ayase Haruka and Tabe Mikako are my two favorite. and maybe Kaho and of course Yu Aoi. You shlod check them if you hadnt knew them.
on Saturday, September 26th, 2009
Holy, Kaho is only 18??? xD
I’ve seen all of them on something (except for Kaho… only on the Canon commercials xD).

[...] I decided to add Juri Ueno once and for all, well because Julz already spoiled my fun. LOL And just to make you look, I won’t tell you I’ve placed Juri, you’ll have to check the list. [...]

You should watch Tennen Kokekko with Kaho, if you like Linda linda linda, and teen movies than Tennen Kokekko is surely for you.
Juri is a good choose i like her tooo
on Monday, September 28th, 2009
will check out Kaho then~~~
by the way, you don’t need to put a “-” in the URL field if you don’t have one. You can just leave it blank.

Amy,
You should watch Kaho in Otomen that is just getting fansubbed. Really kawaii in it.
—
My two favorite under 25 actresses are Ueno Juri and Aoi Yu, so I am not sure who the number one is. Maybe Chinese or Korean? Maybe Miyazaki Aoi? I will be interested to see who it is, because I have no idea.
BTW, I do like Ayase Haruka and Tabe Mikako, I just don’t know if I consider them to be great yet.
on Tuesday, September 29th, 2009
Hey, Bill~
hooray for rarely-fansubbed fansubbed projects xD!
Sadly no Korean youngsters here. I don’t watch much Korean films, and the ones I even considered, were nearly 30. A similar thing with my Chinese possible picks, they were already in their late 20s.
But Chang Yung Yung made it! LOL
Anyway, this list is a whole mix. I think I have some Canadian, English and American… etc etc. My list of actors is what worries me the most, hahaha. So if you have the same of young actors that looked promising – don’t be afraid to list them here.

[...] Placing #9, there’s Ines Efron. Born in 1985 in Argentina – shot to fame when she played Alex on XXY, as a 15-year-old kid struggling with the issues of being intersexual. The movie was good, but her choice of role is what sets her apart from among her Latin American peers. [...]

[...] Oh, Jamie, Jamie Jamie. You were Billy Elliot, I had a huge crush on you – I think you dated Evan Rachel Wood, and also pissed away your charisma by saying you didn’t wanna do a film related to a musical ever, unless it’s something like Moulin Rouge! 2 — which is in itself a very bad idea.

¿Dónde está Keira Knightley?, no sé que hace inés efron mejor hubieras puesto a ximena sariñaña total actúa en las películas de su padre. Ellen page es buena pero mejor que Yu Aoi (no lo creo), y Paul Dano es el mejor de su generación.
on Saturday, January 9th, 2010
no es mejor q, es basado en popularidad/proyectos/habilidad.
Ellen Page tiene x standard una carrera mas reconocida que…
nunca he visto a ximena sarinana en una pelicula.
Y los roles de Knightley ya me aburrieron, estoy esperando q haga algo nuevo.
on Tuesday, January 12th, 2010
Pero tu misma te contradices me dices que es basado en popularidad/proyectos/habilidad (eso quiere decir más reconocimiento) entonces Keira Knightley le gana a muchas de tu lista y también fue nominada al oscar ¿en qué quedamos?, por lo menos debiste incluirla. Ximena sariñaña siempre actua de niña rica, así que gran cosa no hace, mejor está de cantante aunque se alucine la Norah Jones de latinoamerica.
on Tuesday, January 12th, 2010
dime 2 proyectos interesantes de Keira del 2009 o q viene en el 2010, q hayan sonado x su popularidad… o por la critica. Bueno en el 2008 hizo The Duchess q tuvo mixed reviews, The Edge of Love… En el 2009, no saco nada muy importante. Lo mas importante q tiene es el remake de My Fair Lady.
4 años atras, cuando Knightley tenia 21, ella pudo haber estado en el top3 de 20 actores entre 20-25 para chekear hasta sus 30.
Sarinana se cree Norah Jones? LOL, su debut fue bastante aceptable. Algo diferente a lo que generalmente sale de la region.
on Friday, January 15th, 2010
Está bien, me convenciste, Keira no tiene nada interesante a futuro.
on Friday, January 15th, 2010
si me dices mas nombres, mas chere la discusion xD

Se va estrenar la nueva de Tim Burton, chequea a la nueva actriz (Mia Wasikowska), me parece que tiene potencial, pero nadie la conoce. Bueno ojalá que con esta película despegue su carrera y se haga más popular, así seguirá saliendo en nuevos proyectos, porque al final eso es lo que cuenta. Y hablando de actores y actrices ¿quiénes son tus preferidos?, sin importar edad, religión, nacionalidad, etc.
on Monday, January 18th, 2010
tenemos “algunos” posts de Mia
xD
bueno, mi actriz favorita atm es Yu Aoi, especialmente xq no hay mucho fandom… o sea, no hay muchos fans q hablen de su carrera o se molesten en subtitular sus peliculas o traducir sus entrevistas.
algunas otras peliculas q veo o trato de mantener en mi radar x sus actores como Marion Cotillard, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, Natalie Portman, Michelle Williams, Anne Hathaway, Carly Pope, Brad Pitt, Gabriel Garcia Bernal, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, bueno… Meryl xD, Johnny Depp, Nicole Kidman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Zooey Deschanel – muchos de mi lista d top20… y bueno, me encantan Greta Garbo xD y Joan Crawford jaja.
Pero, bueno… tmb se puede decir q veo otros proyectos xq quienes estan frente y detras d camaras… Joss Whedon, Bryan Fuller, Ryan Murphy, Alfonso Cuaron, Lars Von Trier, Tim Burton, y ahora ultimo Shunji Iwai y Tetsuya Nakashima xD
on Tuesday, January 19th, 2010
Me mataste de risa sobre Yu Aoi y que eres su fan porque no tiene muchos por el mundo. En mi caso, mis preferidos son: Kang-ho Song, Tadanobu Asano, Isabelle Huppert, etc.
What is your opinion?
