Description

Hm... What's this about?
Young actors that delivered a good performance in an independent film during this past decade. I'll be adding more.
(Have to remember them, check if they're independent, upload photos...)

I tried to stay away from big names (there aren't many anyway!) The ones here that are/became/are becoming more well known are: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Evan Rachel Wood, Abigail Breslin & Paul Dano, and Michael Pitt (is he well known? I'm biased!). And Gael García Bernal, obviously, whom I almost forgot to put up because of that (the obviousness! isn't he big? huge for me).


You can check out my Independent Films list: all the movies mentioned here are listed there and with "proof" of independance.
