2023 has given us countless amazing film performances—and some of them came from young actors who are still paving their way in Hollywood. From Cailee Spaeny to Nicholas Galitzine, here are five of the biggest rising stars to break into the movie industry this year.
Cailee Spaeny
Spaeny won the Volpi Cup for best actress at the Venice Film Festival for her leading turn in Sofia Copolla’s Priscilla, and we can’t wait to see what she’ll do next.
Archie Madekwe
From Jacob Elordi to Barry Keoghan, Saltburn starred several young actors who already made a name for themselves in Hollywood. Archie Madekwe was definitely the film’s biggest “discovery”, and we’ve also seen him in Gran Turismo and Beau Is Afraid this year.
Nicholas Galitzine
Nicholas Galitzine knocked it out of the park with roles in two fan-favorite movies this year: Bottoms and Red, White & Royal Blue, and will next appear in The Idea of You alongside Anne Hathaway.
Dominic Sessa
Dominic Sessa made his acting debut in Alexander Payne’s acclaimed film The Holdovers and managed to stand his ground to Paul Giamatti and Da’Vine Joy Randolph.
Myha’la Herrold
After getting her big break with the British series Industry, Myha’la Herrold is getting ready to take Hollywood by storm after starring in Dumb Money and Leave the World Behind.
