10 Most Promising Actors Under 25

Jack Gleeson (Born in 1992)

While all the other actors on this list have larger filmographies, no one had a bigger influence on the audience than Jack Gleeson, who played the loathed Joffrey Baratheon in the insanely successful Game of Thrones. The amount of pure hate this character got proves Gleeson’s acting chops, and while he has stated his intention to retire from acting, his performance was too strong not to mention him. Especially seeing how often entertainers go in and out of retirements, maybe when the dust settles in on Joffrey.

Isaac Hempstead Wright (Born in 1999)

Game of Thrones has such a big cast and such high demands from actors not to have multiple cast members on this list. Isaac Hempstead Wright’s character Bran Stark has lived more than the majority of people in Westeros, and he has a very interesting, unique story arch which is a great playground for an actor. Not only did both Isaac and Bran grew older, Bran also had to deal with a lot of different problems, maturing as much as Isaac’s performance.

Nicholas Hamilton (Born in 2000)

There aren’t that many kids in movies today, and when there are, they are mostly pushed in one movie, and when someone stands out in such a movie that receives praise, it’s time to take notice. Nicholas Hamilton is the most memorable family member in the original Captain Fantastic, and he has huge things in front of him with roles in two Stephen King’s adaptations It (2017) and The Dark Tower (2017). He is also the youngest man on this list of actors under 25, as he is 17.

Nick Robinson (Born in 1995)

Another very recognizable young actor on this list despite not having that many roles, Nick Robinson was the lead in the endearing cult favorite The Kings of Summer (2013), and also had a big role in the summer blockbuster The Jurassic World. He is going down the typical road of upcoming male actors with a role in a romantic comedy Everything, Everything (2017) after his part in a teenage action adventure movie The 5th Wave (2016).

Blake Jenner (Born in 1992)

One of the rare actors under 25 that we can easily see as a lead in action and adventure movies as one of the oldest members of this promising group has a strong jock vibe. Jenner was the lead in the oddly enjoyable and surprisingly deep Everybody Want Some!! and is also a valuable, enriching part of The Edge of Seventeen (2016). For years he was amongst the cast of the highly popular teen musical comedy show Glee showing range needed to be in it regardless of what one might think of it.
