The List: Hot Actors Under 30

We profile these talented young up-and-comers of the acting world. 

Mia Wasikowska

For many, Mia Wasikowska arrived overnight with a bang as the lead in Tim Burton’s hallucinogenic Alice in Wonderland.

But this talented twenty year old Australian native was already making quite a name for herself in Australian films like Paul Goldman’s Suburban Mayhem and most notably in the acclaimed HBO drama series In Treatment as Sophie, a troubled patient of Gabriel Byrne’s psychiatrist.

The List: Scariest Characters on Screen

These cinematic scarers are sure to send a tingle down your spine.

Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) - The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Anthony Hopkins mesmerises as one the most hauntingly iconic monsters in cinematic history in this classic 1991 chiller (he reprised the role a decade later in Hannibal and the following year in Red Dragon).

On The Red Carpet: Rachael Taylor

Camera flashes blinded as ‘It Girl’ Rachael Taylor posed with fellow cast members at the world premiere of the much anticipated local flick Cedar Boys, only four months after the release of the similarly themed The Combination.

Having a rapidly ascending star like Taylor (who left the defunct local soapie Headlands behind to make the leap to Hollywood in Transformers) in a small budget film is a double edged sword; the cache of a media darling may attract attention but it can also outshine other cast members.

Star Interview: Jamie Bell

It's not easy being a child star - just ask Jamie Bell.

Little more than a decade ago he burst into the spotlight in the feel-good smash hit Billy Elliot, charming audiences around the world as the dancing boy wonder.

Hot Preview: Abe Lincoln - Bloody Fangtastic!

Just when you thought not another bloody drop could be squeezed out of the well-juiced carcas that is the vampire genre (boom tish) along comes this genre blaster. Politics and vamps may sound like strange bedfellows but the newly released, strangely bloodless teaser for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter still has me salivating. Catch a glimpse of Abe whippin' some civil war era undead butt here......
