10 Bintang Muda Hollywood Yang Bersinar

1. Daniel Radcliffe


Age: 19

Daniel Radcliffe was plucked from relative obscurity to take on the Harry Potter role and has made the most of the opportunity. As Potter wraps up, he's clearly just beginning.

2. Miley Cyrus


Age: 16

Though her Hannah Montana character has been Miley Cyrus' main acting venue, Star Currency voters clearly see the potential for her beyond the Disney vehicle, given the brand she's established.

As producer Rick Alvarez notes: "Dakota Fanning is a really special actor, and she's someone, as a child, she lends credibility to a movie, which is rare. You're rarely saying, 'I'm going to see this movie because this child actor is in it,' especially in adult fare."
