Young Actors: 6 Unknowns Who Stole Our Attention
Everyone has that secret pipe dream of being discovered. Sipping a latte at Starbucks, someone tells you you're perfect for the small indie film he's making and you should be in it. (This dude usually looks like Jason Schwartzman, by the way.) The movie blows up, and suddenly you're fielding calls from Coppolas left and right--and you have an energy drink named after you. That's how my dream goes anyway, with a dramatic montage scrambled in there somewhere in which I try to not "let it all go to my head." This basically happened to Gabourey Sidibie, who went to a random casting call, only to be hired almost immediately afterwards. The film became Precious, and received a standing ovation at Sundance, as well as Oprah basically demanding everyone in the world see it (and we dare you to challenge Oprah).
In the spirit of unknown awesome actors, here are our five favorite kids who lived our dream.
