10 Up and Coming Movies Stars Who Are Going to be Huge

9. Jack O’Connell

Our British readers will immediately recognize Jack O’Connell as the angry, troubled youth James Cook from the popular TV show Skins, but he has since broken into the film industry and is now developing quite a reputation. Similarly to Cook, he is often cast as a troubled “Jack the Lad” type, but he has shown that he is a skilled and versatile actor, having won the BAFTA for Rising Star in 2014 for playing war hero Louis Zamperini in Angelina Jolie’s Unbroken. The 25-year-old has also put in impressive performances in independent films Starred Up and ’71, as well as 2014’s blockbuster 300: Rise of an Empire. Now that he is getting international recognition and has managed to somewhat shake the “bad boy” label that he’s received for his roles and personal life, O’Connell is set to become a star.
