Flickeringmyth.com listed young stars who might wind up being the ‘next big thing’
6) Jamie Campbell Bower – This lad has only been on the scene since 2007, but unlike most of the rising stars, he has strived straight into the film industry and has already performed in two of the greatest franchises of this generation. Although we have yet to see much of this young actor only time will tell if he can find his feet partying with the big boys.
Past: The English actor started out in the TV movie The Dinner Party (2007) and went straight on to act alongside Johnny Depp in the horror musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007). This was followed by a small part in RocknRolla (2008) and a contrasting major role in the Dutch WW2 film Winter in Wartime (2008). He gained mainstream appreciation for portraying the ancient evil vampire Caius Volturi in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, closely followed by appearing in the fan-driven Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1, where he met future fiancée, Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley).
Present: Jamie can currently be seen acting as King Arthur on the historical fantasy TV series Camelot, and in the political thriller Anonymous (2011), where he portrays the Earl of Oxford, who has been scrutinised for centuries as penning Shakespeare’s world famous plays.
Future: Jamie reprises his role as Caius for the final Twilight book adaptation, Breaking Dawn Part 1 and 2. After The Hunger Games, the next most anticipated series of books to be projected onto the big screen next year is The Mortal Instruments and unsurprisingly this young actor has found himself the leading role of Jace Wayland.
