For every movie and TV fan out there remembering names of actors and actresses is a type of hobby! It's such a great feeling when we see someone on screen and we can remember his or her name in an instant!
There are some actors and actresses that are globally known by almost everyone. Think of Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro, Will Smith, and Julia Roberts! After all, who hasn't watched Alan J. Pakula's Sophie's Choice, (1982) Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, (1976) Alex Proyas's I, Robot, (2004) and Roger Michell's Notting Hill (1999).
Of course, all of these films are somewhat old. So, there is a certain question being formed. What about more recent films? Can we name all of the actors and actresses that have starred in films and TV shows during the last decade?
Well, while some people can, we have to consider another parameter that enters this equation! Think of someone's age! Most of the times, when an actor or an actress has been in the film industry for about 5 years, he or she cannot be that famous as Brad Pitt! With that in mind, there are people that don't have any idea who Liam Hemsworth is!
So, let's try and name all of these up and coming actors and actresses!
Name this actor
This actor has been around for some years, but he became globally known after his role as Elio in Luca Guadagnino’s adaptation of André Aciman Call Me By Your Name (2017). We’ve also seen him play the bad boy Kyle Scheible in Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird (2017) and the heartbreaking Nic Sheff in Felix van Groeningen’s Beautiful Boy (2018). All of these roles point to this actor’s talent, and we can’t wait to see where he will go from there on! It’s not every day that we learn what inspired someone to follow their dream, but we know that this actor was “inspired to start acting after seeing Heath Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight (2008)” according to IMDB (well who wouldn’t be?!). Remember this actor’s name?
Name this actor
This actor is well known for his portrayal of Archie Andrews in Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s TV Show Riverdale (2016- ). Considering that the TV show is inspired by the Archie comics, this character has to be portrayed as a teen with red hair. It might come as a surprise to us, but according to IMDB, this actor isn’t “a natural red head. The actor, whose natural hair colour is a dark brown, admitted that it took 10 hours in the salon to get that perfect shade of orange” (well with red hair comes great sacrifice!). Remember the name of this famous actor?
Name this actress
There are many roles that have brought to our attention this great actress! Think of Tris in the Divergent (2014) franchise, Aimee in James Ponsoldt’s The Spectacular Now (2013) and Hazel in Josh Boone’s The Fault In Our Stars (2014). While it’s clear to us that she is a natural talent, the actress has stated, according to IMDB, that she “fell into this business by accident. It wasn't something [she] ever aspired to be: an actress. It just happened. It has evolved into an insane passion...a creative outlet. But nothing more. It's [her] hobby... one of the ways [she] expresses [herself] as an artist.” Regardless, we are lucky she entered the business even if it was by accident! Remember her name?
Name this actress
Since we just referred to James Ponsoldt’s The Spectacular Now (2013) there is another actress that we have to mention! Before she became globally famous by her role as Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel in Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck’s Captain Marvel, (2019) she brought to the big screen some other great characters! Think of Grace in Destin Daniel Cretton’s Short Term 12 (2013) and Ma in Lenny Abrahamson’s Room (2015). Regarding her name, the actress has claimed, according to IMDB, that she has “a sister and her name is Mimsy, like from 'Alice in Wonderland', so we've got some strange names in our family.” Remember this actress’ “strange” name?
Name this actress
Another actress with immense talent! We’ve seen her as Carrie White in Kimberly Peirce’s take on Stephen King’s Carrie, (2013) as Patricia in Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria, (2018) and recently as Frances McCullen in Neil Jordan’s Greta (2018). Although she became part of the film industry at a very young age, she is a very down to Earth person (that’s one of the reasons we love her!) According to IMDB, she has claimed that her “mom has always said that if [she] gets a big head, she'll take [her] out of this business as quickly as [she] got into it” (that’s hilarious!). Remember this actress’ name?
Name this actor
This actor has been around for a while, but perhaps his breakthrough role is Erik Killmonger in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther (2018). Before that, we’ve also seen him in Ryan Coogler’s Creed (2015) as Adonis Johnson and in That Awkward Moment (2014) as Mikey! During an interview for the latter, this actor was asked about his costars, and has said according to IMDB that “Zac Efron is my brother right here. We went through the trenches together. Miles Teller is very witty and always has something smart to say. He's a good guy and has become one of my brothers too. It's funny how [we] work on films and build up these friendships off-camera. It's cool” (it is indeed!). Remember the name of this actor?
Name this actor
Well since Shailene Woodley is on this list, this actor couldn’t be left out! He has played in several movies alongside her from the Divergent (2014) franchise as her brother Caleb, to Josh Boone’s The Fault In Our Stars (2014) as her boyfriend Gus. Perhaps our favorite role, however, is Baby in Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver (2017). He has shared a lot with us in his interviews, and according to IMDB in one of them he said: “I don't look at The Fault in Our Stars as a teenage movie. I looked at it like, this is a great script and a good character, and I was excited to do it” (which is a great way to see all roles altogether!). Remember his name?
Name this actress
Any fan of Game Of Thrones (2011- ) knows who this is! This is Sansa Stark, a girl with red hair that has gone through so many things. It goes without saying that this role is this actress’ breakout role. So, we’re not really surprised when we heard that she has stated, according to IMDB, that “getting Game Of Thrones (2011) was amazing. I was 13, on holiday in France, and my mum woke me up saying, ‘Morning Sansa!’ I burst out crying and jumped in the pool” (Well who wouldn’t?!). Besides this role, we have also seen her as Jean Grey in Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) and we can’t wait to see in Simon Kinberg’s Dark Phoenix (2019). Remember her name?
Name this actor
Remember when we said that K. J. Apa has to dye his hair red in order to play Archie Andrews? Well the same thing goes for this actor since according to IMDB he “dyed his hair black for the role of Jughead Jones in [Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s] Riverdale (2016- ) [because] his natural hair color is blond.” If we’ve seen this actor before Riverdale, we know this to be true since as a kid he played Cody in Danny Kallis and Jim Geoghan’s The Suite Life of Zack and Cody (2005-2008) and Ben Geller in Friends (2000-2002). Remember the name of this actor?
Name this actress
We’ve known this actress for some time now mostly thanks to director Joe Wright. He worked with her in Atonement (2007) and then he specifically wanted to work with her in Hanna (2011) so we can see that he sees something in her. According to IMDB, the actress has stated about Joe Wright that “he has a great way of getting the message across, like if [someone is] confused about doing a scene or a certain line or something, he explains it so well and so clearly. He's just fantastic” so we can see that the feeling is mutual! Besides Atonement and Hanna, this actress has also participated in Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird (2017) as Lady Bird and in Josie Rourke’s Mary Queen Of Scots (2018) as Mary Stuart. Remember her name?
Name this actor
There’s only one thing we think about when we see this actor’s face: That’s Mike Wheeler! One of the great actors playing in Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer’s hit Netflix series Stranger Things (2016- ) which we can’t wait to see again in 4 July 2019! According to IMDB, the actor has said about this role that by “playing Mike, [he] accessed feelings [he’]'d never accessed before. [He] emerged a better actor [and he] wants to give [himself] credit for that, more than [he] did at the time” (and we couldn’t agree more!). He has also portrayed Richie Tozier in Andy Muschietti’s It (2017) and we can’t wait to see what else he’ll do next! Remember his name?
Name this actress
We’ve seen this actress a lot recently! From her recurring character Ethel Muggs in Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s Riverdale (2016- ) to her own leading role as Sierra Burgess in Ian Samuels’ Sierra Burgess Is A Loser (2018). Perhaps her most famous role, however, is Barbara Holland in Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer’s Stranger Things (2016- ) even if it’s the smallest! Fans have gone crazy with their love for Barb, and the actress has even claimed on Jimmy Kimmel Live that her mother has called her Barb as well (that’s hilarious!). Remember the name of this famous up and coming actress?
Name this actress
We’ve seen this actress in different roles, but her most famous one has to be Shuri from Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther (2018). She has reprised that role twice: for Anthony Russo and Joe Russo’s Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019). In an interview in STEVE TV Show, she has stated that she doesn’t have a driver’s license, and that after her role as Shuri she has a problem telecommuting because people go up to her all the time and introduce themselves with the Wakanda forever salute (that’s hilarious!). Well she has a great laugh over the whole thing, and her sense of humor is one of the things we love about her! Remember her name?
Name this actor
After talking about Shannon Purser, we can’t leave out this actor! He starred alongside her in Ian Samuels’ Sierra Burges Is A Loser (2018) as Jamey, but this isn’t the only Netflix original film he has done. We’ve also seen him in Susan Johnson’s To All The Boys I’ve Ever Loved Before (2018) as Peter. What’s interesting is that Peter keeps sending little small letters to his fake and later on real girlfriend Lara Jean (Lana Condor) and this actor has also done this in real life. He has claimed on BuzzFeed Celeb that he and his first love used to send each other small love letters throughout the day! Remember the name of this actor?
Name this actor
This actor is known for roles such as Cage in Michael J. Gallagher The Thinning: New World Order (2018) and Daniel Bae in Ry Russo-Young’s The Sun Is Also A Star (2019). According to Wikipedia, however, “his big break came when he was cast in the CW series Riverdale as Reggie Mantle in season 2 (he replaced Ross Butler, who had left the show).” He has made his mark as Reggie, and we hope to get to see him do different things in the future! What we can do for the time being is enjoy his work in Riverdale! Remember the name of this actor?
Name this actor
This actor has done a lot of different roles. We’ve seen him in Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me By Your Name (2017) and Stanley Tucci’s Final Portrait (2017). An earlier and very significant role is his involvement in David Fincher’s The Social Network (2010) in which he played the twin brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. According to IMDB, he has said about the latter that “there were two auditions, one with Aaron Sorkin and one with David Fincher. I was a nervous wreck. I was like, 'Okay, how do I hold the paper without my hands making it shake?'” Seeing him so nervous, even if he has so much talent is very endearing! Remember the name of this actor?
Name this actress
What can we say about this actress other than she is amazing. We’ve seen her change her hair and different types of roles for some time now, and we still love what she does! From her role as Jules in Greg Mottola’s Superbad to her role as Mia in Damien Chazelle’s La La Land (2016) and Abigail in Yorgos Lanthimos’s The Favorite (2018) she’s done it all! She has even commented on how choosing roles feels. According to IMDB, she said: "There's this Ryan Gosling quote that I steal all the time; picking roles is like listening to songs on the radio: There can be a lot of really great songs in a row, but then one comes on that just makes you want to dance.” Well that’s just beautiful! Remember her name?
Name this actor
Now we know that Emma Stone was Gwen Stacy in the previous version of Spiderman. In this Spiderman version, however, in which this actor plays Peter Parker / Spiderman, she’s not included. The actor has already portrayed Spiderman in many films, but he has starred in two: Jon Watts’ Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019). According to IMDB, he has commented on his quick rise to fame by saying: “I think the important thing is to just take in one step at a time. I think if you rush into fame, then that's where it can be really affecting, and if you take it for granted it can be really affecting.” He has an incredible sense of humor and an adorable way of seeing and saying things, so we can’t help but love him! Remember his name?
Name this actress
This actress’ breakthrough role can be no other than Diana / Wonder Woman. She first wore Wonder Woman’s armor in Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, (2016) and ever since she’s reprised that role twice on the big screen: Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman (2017) and Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2017). About working with director Patty Jenkins, this actress has said, according to IMDB, that she “was so privileged to work with an amazingly phenomenal filmmaker, Patty Jenkins. But [they] didn't expect it to be so well received.” Well pleasant surprise or not, we loved Wonder Woman, and we can’t wait for the next one! Remember this actress’ name?
Name this actor
This actor has been famous for a little while now! We’ve seen him in Martin Scorsese’s Hugo (2011) as Hugo Cabret, in Gavin Hood’s Ender’s Game (2013) as Ender Wiggin, in Tim Burton’s Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children as Jake, and in Peter Chelsom’s The Space Between Us (2017) as Gardner Elliot. When asked about acting and what roles he prefers, he stated, according to IMDB, that he “always thinks that trying to push yourself as an actor in a direction that you've never been before, developing characters which are more difficult to get into the head of, or are more interesting and further away from yourself, is always a challenge. But, you want to take up that challenge and try your best.” Remember his name?
Name this actress
This actress is very famous as is her older sister! Although they’ve never worked together thus far, this actress has stated, according to IMDB, that she “would love to work with Marion Cotillard... and [her] sister! It'd be so cool to be on screen interacting with each other one day. It will happen, [she’s] just not sure when.” Well, we hope that day will come soon! Some of the roles that she has brought to life already are Aurora / Sleeping Beauty in Robert Stromberg’s Maleficent, (2014) Alice Dainard in J.J. Abrams’ Super 8, (2011) and Julie in Mike Mills’ 20th Century Women (2016). Remember her name?
Name this actor
Let’s go back to the Divergent franchise (2014) and talk about another one of the actors that had a role in it. This actor played Peter, the guy we’re not sure how to feel about at all times! We’ve also seen him in James Ponsoldt’s The Spectacular Now, (2013) Damien Chazelle’s Whiplash (2014) and Tom Gormican’s That Awkward Moment (2014). When he was asked what he likes about acting, he responded, according to IMDB, that he likes “living in somebody else's pain. It's actually nice when you get to feel that kind of emotion.” Remember the name of this actor?
Name this actor
Let’s go to another actor from Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer Stranger Things (2016- ) universe! This actor plays Lucas Sinclair and this is his breakout role! Before Lucas Sinclair’s role, the actor did some guest starring in TV Shows such as John Bellucci and Ed Redlich’s Unforgettable (2011-2016) and Matthew Miller’s Forever (2014-2015). It goes without saying, therefore, that Stranger Things changed his life! When he was asked about that in an interview on KTLA 5 News, he said that he “can’t remember what his life was before” and that things have changed so much that Drake both recognized and congratulated him at the Golden Globe Ceremony of 2018! Remember this actor’s name?
Name this actress
This character became globally famous with the role of Serena van der Woodsen in Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz’s hit TV Series Gossip Girl (2007-2012). When she was asked what she found most unusual about her involvement in Gossip Girl, she said, according to IMDB, that she “was raised in California, so this whole New York winter thing is completely new for [her]” and that she’s “already justified buying seven coats!” (that’s hilarious!). Prior to her role as Serena, she portrayed Bridget in Ken Kwapis’ The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants (2005) and Sanaa Hamri’s The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants 2 (2008). Lastly, she has also appeared in Paul Feig’s A Simple Favor (2018). Remember her name?
Name this actress
This actress plays Veronica Lodge in Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s TV Show Riverdale (2016- ). Actually this is both her breakout role and her first role as an actress altogether, which is pretty amazing. As she was the on-screen girlfriend of Archie Andrews, a lot of fans hoped that she was K. J. Apa’s girlfriend in real life as well. The truth is, however, that the two of them are only very close friends. According to OSSA, it turns out that the actress isn’t into dating actors in general since “dating people in the industry is tough […] because you’re not necessarily meeting people that you’re similar to.” Regardless, we really enjoy her portrayal of Veronica and we can’t wait to see her in Chris Nelson’s The Pefrect Date (2019). Remember her name?
Name this actor
Almost everyone has heard of this actor the last few years! From his role as Patrick in Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks Of Being A Wallflower (2012) to his roles as Barry Allen / The Flash in Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2017) and Credence Barebone in the Fantastic Beasts And Where to Find Them (2016) franchise. Perhaps one his most unique roles, however, is Kevin in Lynne Ramsay’s We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011). The actor himself has said, according to IMDB, that his “agent sent [him] the script and [he] went into a sort of wrathful, thirsting pursuit. [He] immediately became ravenous.” Well the film was one of a kind! Remember this actor’s name?
Name this actress
We’ve known this character for a while, but lately she has taken on roles that have had a greater impact on her fame. Think of her role as Valkyrie in Taika Waititi’s Thor: Ragnarok, (2017) Josie Radek in Alex Garland’s Annihilation (2018) on the big screen and Charlotte Hale on HBO’s Westworld (2016- ) on TV. When she was asked what’s her breakout role, she stated, according to IMDB, that “the term 'breakout' always makes [her] think of an inmate or some butterfly emerging out of a cocoon” (and we can’t really disagree with her!). Remember the name of this actress?
Name this actress
This actress most likely became globally famous because of her role as Naomi Lapaglia in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf Of Wall Street (2013). When she was asked about that character, she said, according to IMDB: “when I first read it, I thought, I have nothing in common with her. It was a really tricky one to get my head around” and we can understand why! Since then, she has appeared in Craig Gillespie’s I, Tonya (2017) as Tonya, and in Josie Rourke’s Mary Queen Of Scotts (2018) as Queen Elizabeth I. All these roles showcase this actress’ immense talent since we can see how much different they are despite sharing a few common characteristics here and there. Remember the name of this actress?
Name this actor
After the Academy Awards Ceremony this year is there a film buffer out there who doesn’t know who this actor is? He is the guy who won the Oscar for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for his role as Freddie Mercury in Bryan Singer’s Bohemian Rhapsody (2018). When asked about the experience of playing Freddie Mercury while he is about to perform the famous Live Aid performance in 1985, the actor said, according to IMDB, that “it's almost surreal, the closest thing to an out of body experience. It was the greatest adrenaline rush you could ever imagine.” Besides this incredible role, we’ve also seen him as Elliot Alderson in Sam Esmail’s TV series Mr. Robot (2015- ). Remember the name of this actor?
Name this actress
Let’s talk about one of the actresses on Matt Duffer and Ross Duffer’s Stranger Things (2016- )! She’s the youngest one, and she is the one that plays the kid with the telekinetic powers (awesome!). Being on the spotlight of such a role, this actress has had to answer many fun and difficult questions. One time, for example, she was asked about the show’s creators. According to IMDB, she said: “I was so surprised they were such young dudes, movie buffs and socially awkward geeks, but they are my big brothers. I argue [with] and love them!” The set has such a family vibe that we can’t help but love each and every one of those involved! Remember the name of this actress?
Name this actress
This actress became one of our favorites as we watched her grow and develop as a professional in I. Marlene King’s Pretty Little Liars (2010-2017) as Emily Fields. A coming of age TV show with a twist, Pretty Little Liars is known for its effect on teenagers like so many other TV series. When she was asked what was her favorite show as a teenager during an interview for US Weekly she answered Dawson’s Creek (1998-2003) and The O.C. (2003-2007). Besides her role as Emily Fields, we also recently enjoyed her portrayal as Peach Salinger in Greg Berlanti and Sera Gamble’s You (2018- ). Remember the name of this actress?
Name this actor
This actor brought to life one of the greatest superheroes ever when he starred in his own superhero film Black Panther (2018) as T'Challa / Black Panther. The film got the critics’ approval since it received three Academy Awards: Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Best Achievement in Costume Design, and Best Achievement in Production Design. The actor has talked a lot about this film. One of the things his said according to IMDB is that: “You might say that this nation is fantasy. But to have the opportunity to pull from real ideas, real places and real African concepts, and put it inside of this idea of Wakanda - that's a great opportunity to develop what a sense of identity is, especially when you're disconnected from it” (and we couldn’t agree more!). Remember this actor’s name?
Name this actor
Everyone out there that has watched Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz's Gossip Girl (2007-2012) knows who this is! He is the actor that played Dan Humphrey. He was ‘lonely boy’ and other things that perhaps we shouldn’t spoil in case there are people who haven’t had the chance to watch that TV series. Besides Dan Humphrey, this actor has also portrayed Joe Goldberg in Greg Berlanti and Sera Gamble You (2018- ). Overall, this actor is very low-key even if he has had some important roles throughout the years. Perhaps that’s because, according to IMDB, he has stated that he wants “to be an actor. [He] doesn't want to be a celebrity. They are two different things and people have forgotten that they are different.” Remember the name of this actor?
Name this actress
This actress is mostly known for her roles as Elena Gilbert / Katherine Pierce / Amara from Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson TV series The Vampire Diaries (2009-2017). She is the mortal girl that two vampire brothers fall in love with, and she has to choose between the two. When asked how she felt about being on The Vampire Diaries she said according to IMDB: “I was never bored, it never felt stale. I always came to work excited, and looking forward to the next thing I got to do. It was almost like actor boot camp, or a college experience.” Other than this role, we’ve also seen her as Vicki Summers in Todd Strauss-Schulson’s The Final Girls (2015) and Candace in Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks Of Being A Wallflower (2012). Remember her name?
Name this actress
This actress has been around for a few years, and she always seems to surprise us! If we didn’t already know her as Raven / Mystique in Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men First Class (2011), then we certainly got to see her talent in her role as Katniss Everdeen in Gary Ross’ The Hunger Games (2012). We then saw her as Tiffany in David O. Russell's Silver Linings Playbook and most recently as Aurora Lane in Morten Tyldum’s Passengers (2016). When asked about her role as Katniss and the fame it brought to her, according to IMDB she said: “I think about this all the time. But when you get a promotion at your job, you don't go ‘That was too fast. ‘You take it.” Well she does have a point! Remember her name?
Name this actor
And now we reached the heart of the Stranger Things (2016- ) family! We love each and everyone one of the cast members, but this guy has a special place in our hearts! He has a beautiful voice, an incredible sense of humor, and his optimistic view of the world makes us go all fuzzy and warm! His role as Dustin Henderson in Stranger Things is his breakout role, and we hope to watch him grow into an incredible actor! When he was asked during an interview at Jimmy Kimmel about his salary, he said “I just do the acting part. I don’t know anything about the financial part” a statement that makes him even more endearing since we see how down to Earth he is! Remember the name of this actor?
Name this actor
We’ve known this actor for a while! Perhaps our favorite role is his portrayal of Peter / Quicksilver which he initially brought to the big screen in Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days Of Future Past (2014). Since then, he has also been included as Peter / Quicksilver in Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) and he will return once again in Simon Kinberg’s Dark Phoenix (2019). What makes this actor special is his belief that we should always work harder to improve ourselves! According to IMDB, he has stated: “I'm not the best actor I can be, so I'm just working on it. I'm not the quickest reader in the world but when I get an acting book I can read it in two days.” Just like him, we all have to strive for progress! Remember his name?

This actor has done pretty much everything! From biographical films to scifi and action! We’ve seen him as Poe Dameron in J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) and as Santiago 'Pope' Garcia in J.C. Chandor’s Triple Frontier (2019). Perhaps the first role that put him in the spotlight, however, was his portrayal of Llewyn Davis in Ethan Coen and Joel Coen’s Inside Llewyn Davis (2013). About that role, the actor has said according to IMDB: “It was the role of a lifetime. I definitely found the character through the music. I think that's the window into his soul, his only connection with the people outside.” Well we loved it too! Remember the name of this actor?
Name this actress
She was around for a while, but the role that made her stand out was Anastasia Steele in Sam Taylor-Johnson’s Fifty Shades Of Grey (2015). Another role that has placed her in the spotlight is Susie from Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria (2018). When asked why she wanted to become an actress, she said according to IMDB: “I felt so much when I was fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, I felt everything. I didn't understand [myself], I was so happy yet so angry and sad. That was the point when I realized that I needed to tell stories and make characters come alive and I needed to make people cry, and make people angry, and make people happy, and make them laugh” (Well that is a beautiful take on why someone may follow this path!). Remember her name?
Name this actor
Every fan of Jeff Davis’ Teen Wolf (2011-2017) out there will know who this actor is! He is the guy who plays Stiles Stilinski / Nogitsune! Besides that awesome role on TV, we have also seen him on the big screen. Perhaps his most famous role is Thomas from the Maze Runner franchise which he first brought to life back in 2014. When he was asked about selecting roles he said, according to IMDB, that he’s “never offered any sort of roles. [He] needs to audition in a typically lengthy process to receive roles” (Well we’re sure he’ll get there someday!). Remember his name?
Name this actor
Let’s go back to the Divergent franchise one last time! This actor first appeared as Four in Neil Burger’s Divergent (2014) and he returned again both in Robert Schwentke’s Insurgent (2015) and Allegiant (2016). Other than the role of Four, he has also played Will Younger in David M. Rosenthal’s How It Ends (2018) and Ash in Drake Doremus’ Zoe (2018). When asked about his acting choices, he said according to IMDB: “I know I often get a job because of how I look. I hope that I keep the job because of how I act.” Overall, we can’t wait to see what he’ll do next! Remember the name of this actor?

Another famous actress with a famous sister! We’ve seen this actress in Jorge Dorado’s Anna (2013) as Anna Greene, in Todd Strauss-Schulson’s The Final Girls (2015) as Max Cartwright, and in Hannah Fidell’s 6 Years (2015) as Melanie Clark. Perhaps her most famous role, however, is Sam from Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring (2013). The actress has said about the film according to IMDB: “I just hope that it comes as a warning. Just for kids to see how bad things can get with social media and celebrity obsession, that you can't take things this far. Admiration is great, but there is a line not to cross” and we see exactly what she means! Remember her name?
Name this actress
One of the sweetest actresses out there! We’ve seen her in Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris’ Ruby Sparks (2012) as Ruby Sparks, in Michael Dowse’s What if (2013) as Chantry and in Brin Hill’s In Your Eyes (2014) as Rebecca Porter in the past. Most recently, we’ve seen her as Alice Longabaugh in Ethan Coen and Joel Coen’s The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs (2018) and as Clara in The Kindness Of Strangers (2019). When she was asked why she’s kind of reluctant about acting, she claimed according to IMDB: “It's just that actors are all lumped together as this vague mass of fame-hungry, swag-wearing people, and I sometimes [don’t like] being lumped with that group.” Well, we understand, but we love seeing her work, so we can’t wait to see what’s next for her!

An incredible talent with an incredible voice! Her breakout role can be no other but Rachel Berry in Ian Brennan, Brad Falchuk, and Ryan Murphy’s TV series Glee (2009-2015). For six years she amazed us with what she can do, and she still does but in different sets! We’ve also seen her as Valentina Barella in Jeremy Bronson’s The Mayor and as Elise in Garry Marshall’s New Year’s Eve (2011) on the big screen. When asked about her opinion on the film industry, she said according to IMDB: “I think it's important in this industry to not just conform to what people want you to do, and instead stand by what you believe in - that's something I'm very passionate about.” With that in mind, we want to see where her passion will take her!

But I still love doing stand-up and will probably be doing it forever” (Well we certainly hope so!). Remember this actor’s name?

All Marvel fans know this guy especially after his sacrifice in Joss Whedon’s Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2015) as Pietro Maximoff / Quicksilver. We’ve also seen him as Vronsky in Joe Wright’s Anna Karenina (2012) and as Ray Marcus in Tom Ford’s Nocturnal Animals (2016). With all those roles in mind, we can see that this actor does pretty much everything. Actually, according to IMDB, he has claimed that he doesn’t “marry [himself] into any genre. [He] rides on the back of the filmmaker and the character. [He] has to feel that character. [He] has to believe that character” and that is an awesome outlook! Remember the name of this actor?

Since we talked about Pietro Maximoff / Quicksilver, we also have to talk about his sister Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch. This actress has brought to the screen the Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch character two more times in Anthony Russo and Joe Russo’s Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019). Besides that role, we’ve also seen her in Sean Durkin’s Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011) as Martha. She has talked about that character several times. According to IMDB, she has stated that “Sean Durkin really wrote a complex character that really hasn't been written, and that's challenging. It's such a smart way of writing, you totally understand the characters and [she] was just completely obsessed and in love with ‘Martha’ and the script” (Well so were we!). Remember her name?

We will stay in the Marvel cinematic universe for one last actor. We know him as Hank / Beast from Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class (2011). We’ve also seen him in Jonathan Levine’s Warm Bodies (2013) as R and in George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) as Nux. When asked if he wants to continue acting, he said according to IMDB: "Yes, definitely, I love it. I'd like to stick to comedy as it's great fun, or an action movie like ‘Lord Of The Rings’." Well he hasn’t been able to go into Lord Of The Rings, but he got to play the author that wrote the original trilogy books J.R.R. Tolkien in Dome Karukoski’s Tolkien (2019).
