2008 Portrait Top 30 Under 30 as chosen by YOU!
By Angela Lee

This year's top 30 was BIG and boy do we mean BIG! With an ASTOUNDING 120 000+ votes, up to the last hour of voting we were hanging onto the edge of our seats to see who would take out the coveted #1 position. For over two months it was a battle between fandoms as fans loyally supported their favourite nominees and now finally we are proud to present to you the 2008 Portrait Top 30 Under 30 as chosen entirely by YOU!


  30. Life's Carnival Ride: Carrie Underwood
Born: March 10, 1983


Despite a brief and whirlwind romance with ”Gossip Girl” star Chace Crawford, at the end of last year, Carrie is happy to be single and enjoy life at the current moment. And really who can blame her? Carrie is a nice sweet girl that knows what she wants and has the world at her feet at the moment as a result of her success, and there appears to be no slowing down anytime soon!

What's Next: Carrie's just released "Just a Dream" the 4th single off her album ”Carnival Ride”. She is also touring the States in September right through til December. You may have also spotted Carrie recently in Vitamin Water commercials alongside 50 Cent.


  29. Honor In Her Life: Jessica Alba
Born: April 28, 1981


Jessica Alba has had a good year, not only did she appear in the comedy The Love Guru, alongside Mike Myers, but more significantly, she gave birth to her first child Honor Marie Warren on June 7, with partner Cash Warren by her side

What's Next: Obviously we won't be seeing much of Jessica on the big screen now that Honor's been born, but Jessica has signed up for Sin City 2. Otherwise, Jessica is enjoying being a mom and recently revealed that she's relearning Spanish in order to share her heritage with her daughter. Aww.


  28. Girl Wonder:  Kristen Bell
Born: July 18, 1980


After ”Veronica Mars” was cancelled last year, the show's lead, Kristen Bell managed to pick herself up nicely and find work. That's probably an understatement actually, because not only did she score the narrating gig as the elusive "Gossip Girl" on the hit television series, she also landed a gig on ”Heroes”, and even managed to make a few films including the hilarious Forgetting Sarah Marshall. With the amount of work she's been doing, you have to wonder if she has a few clones up her sleeve to help her out or something! But if you think she's been busy now, check out what she has lined up for the future!

What's Next: Kristen will continue to narrate as ”Gossip Girl”, which returns to the CW on September 1. She will also be in a few episodes in the third season of ”Heroes” (sources suggest at least five) but will only be a guest star not a regular. Kristen's also just finished filming the Disney romantic comedy When In Rome alongside the spunky Josh Duhamel and real life beau Dax Shepherd, and has agreed to play the lead in the film adaptation of Meg Cabot (author of the Princess Diaries series)'s novel The Queen of Babble should it be picked up by a production company.  Fans are also still waiting for the release of her films Fanboys, Antique, and Serious Moonlight. A little birdie also suggests that SuperBell may have even more projects up her sleeve!


  27. Causing a Riot: Paramore
Hayley (Vocals), Jeremy (Bass), Josh (Guitar), Zac (Drums)


If you want catchy punk songs with a touch of pop and a whole lot of attitude and raw energy, then Paramore is definitely the band for you! Yet underneath all the sass is an underlying meaning. For example, listen carefully to the lyrics of the smash hit "Misery Business", and you'll realise that you'll be able to relate. Depth that you can sing along to – we like that!

What's Next: The Final RIOT! Tour this month, alongside Jack's Mannequin, Phantom Planet, and Paper Route. The band will also tour with John Mayer. In October, the band will be playing in Mexico alongside Nine Inch Nails, Stone Temple Pilots, Flaming Lips, The Kooks, and MGMT.

    26. In Demand: Shia LaBeouf
Born: June 11, 1986


Last year when Shia made the top 30, we dubbed him the "New IT Boy" and boy were we right! Highlights include starring in the latest Indiana Jones film with Harrison Ford. Hot in demand at the moment, Shia has become a mega movie star in his own right, with an array of films set for release in the next two years.

What's Next: Some of the many films that you can catch Shia in include New York I Love You, The Dark Fields, Eagle Eye, The Last Man, and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

  25. In the Spotlight: Britney Spears
Born: December 2, 1981


It's been a rough year for Britney from meltdowns to custody battles, but you guys believe that the old Britney is still somewhere down there and continue to root for her and have voted her into the Top 30. But it hasn't all been constant drama for Britney this year. Her two guest appearances on the comedy ”How I Met Your Mother” was praised by television critics, and she also managed to do a cameo for the Pussycat Dolls' comeback single "When I Grow Up".

What's Next: It is said that Britney is working on a new album. There are also rumours floating about that she's filming scenes for Madonna's upcoming "Sticky and Sweet" tour.


  24. With Dignity - Hilary Duff
Born: September 28, 1987


It isn't easy growing up in the spotlight but unlike some of her fellow Hollywood starlets, Hilary still manages to be a positive example that growing up doesn't necessarily mean growing out of control. And with her array of projects from her perfume and clothing line, to her music and acting career, Hilary shows that you really can have it all without falling apart. Is there a more positive role model for teenage girls today in Young Hollywood than Miss Duff?

What's Next: As well as the follow-up album to Dignity, Hilary fans can also look forward to seeing much of the Duffster on the big screen, with the following films lined up for release in the next year or so – Stay Cool with Winona Ryder and Sean Astin, War Inc with John Cusack, Greta with Ellen Burstyn, Safety Glass with Amanda Peet, and the animated Foodfight with Eva Longoria.


  23. More than Just a Pretty Face - Jesse McCartney
Born: April 9, 1987


It'd be easy to write Jesse McCartney off as just another boy-bander gone solo or even dub him as a Justin Timberlake wannabe, but since the release of his recent album Departure, Jesse has shown that he's more than just a pretty face and has a lot of talent. This latest album is a lot edgier and shows Jesse breaking away from traditional pop, and mixing it up a little with a more urban sound. Jesse also co-wrote most of the tracks on Departure as well. Showing his growth as an artist, Jesse has branched out and even penned songs for other fellow music artists. Did you know he co-wrote Leona Lewis's "Bleeding Love" with One Republic leader singer Ryan Tedder? Pretty impressive huh!

What's Next: Jesse is touring with Jordin Sparks this month. He also provides the voice of Terrence in the upcoming Disney Tinkerbell movie.

  22. Pop/Rock Fun: Push Play


CJ Baran (Lead Vocals/Rhythm Guitar/Keyboard –February 13, 1990), Steve Scarola (Guitar/Keyboards/Background Vocals – May 8, 1990), Nick DeTurris (Bass – December 19, 1989), Derek Ries (Drums – April 11, 1990)

While there seems to be an emergence of young teenage boy pop acts at the moment, what distinguishes Push Play from the rest of the pack is their ability not to take themselves too seriously, as shown by their infectious, fun lyrics. Their debut album Deserted released in December 2007, is full of these including the song "Plastique" - 'I'm not made of plastic, Got to get out, and be drastic, 'Cause what I got, baby what I've got is real'.

What's Next: You can check the guys out throughout the States on "The Push Play Rock the States Tour 08".

  21.The Bad Boy - Cam Gigadent
Born: August 16, 1982


"I was meant to play the bad guy, for always and ever," Cam Gigadent once said. Considering he has the role convincingly down to a tee, as shown by his work on ”The OC”, and ”Never Back Down”, it would certainly be strange to see him in a nice guy role. Lucky for us, Cam's villain streak continues when the much anticipated Twilight is released at the end of year, in which Cam plays the nasty James.

What's Next: At this year's Annual Young Hollywood Awards, Cam was awarded the "One to Watch" award, and he definitely will be the one to watch with the amount of films he has set for release in the upcoming future – Twilight, The Unborn, Pinkville, Pandorum, Kid Cannabis, Silver Cord, and Making Change.

Note: Yes, we realize Cam should have been included with the Twilight cast rather then separately. Due to an oversight we didn’t actually realize he was part of the cast until it was too late to change the poll.


  20. You Know You Love Them – Cast of Gossip Girl


Blake Lively (Serena Van Der Woodsen – August 25, 1987), Leighton Meester (Blair Waldorf – April 9, 1986), Chace Crawford (Nate Archibald – July 18, 1985), Penn Badgly (Dan Humphrey – November 1, 1986), Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass - June 27, 1987), Taylor Momsen (Jenny Humphrey – July 26, 1993), Jessica Szhor (Vanessa Abrams – March 31, 1985), Connor Paolo (Eric Van Der Woodsen –July 11, 1990)

If there was anything that was a breakout hit on the small screen this year, it was without a doubt the CW's addictive drama Gossip Girl. From virtual unknowns over a year ago, this young and beautiful cast is now gracing the covers of magazines all over the world and are source of constant media and paparazzi attention, because yes we truly do love them. ;)

What's Next: The juicy 2nd season of ”Gossip Girl” starts on the CW September 1, so mark that in your diaries! Queen B Leighton Meester has Killer Movie up her sleeve. She'll also be reprising her role of Justine Chaplin in the new season of ”Entourage”.  Golden girl Blake Lively has an array of films set for release including The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, New York I Love You, and Elvis and Annabella.  While Chace Crawford has The Haunting of Molly Hartley next up on his resume, and Penn Badgley has The Stepfather and Forever Strong.  Ed Westwick has two films set for release – 100 Feet, and S.Darko alongside James Lafferty (One Tree Hill). Taylor Momsen is awaiting the release of her film Doubting Thomas, and has also signed up with IMG Models on a one year contract. While Connor Paolo can be seen in Camp Hope and Favorite Son.

  19. Smallville's Darling: Allison Mack
Born: July 29, 1982


When rumours started flying about as to who would be returning for season 8 of ”Smallville”, it was interesting to note that fans were more concerned about Clark's best friend and confidant Chloe Sullivan, not returning over his sweetheart Lana Lang. The fans passionate rallying for Chloe demonstrates just how pivotal Chloe and Allison are to show and just how far they've come along. No one could have ever predicted just how adored Allison's character would have become and her popularity is a testament to the warmth and dimension that Allison brings to the character.

What's Next:  Allison fans can breathe a sigh of relief because Chloe will be returning in Season 8 of ”Smallville”. Additionally, she is also in talks to direct an episode but nothing has been confirmed yet.


  18. Poptastic: NLT


V Sevan (September 1, 1988), Travis Garland (July 26, 1989), JJ Thorne (July 13, 1989), Kevin McHale (June 14, 1988)

Who says pop is dead? This funky quartet shows that pop is anything but! Influenced by an array of respectable musicians from the likes of Justin Timberlake to John Mayer to Lauryn Hill, from Coldplay to the Beatles, NLT (Not Like Them) produce a sound that is full of poppy goodness mixed with a bit of RnB and Hip Hop.

What's Next: They may be a new band, with their debut album dropping sometime soon, but fans can't wait to hear more music from these guys!

  17. On Her Own Terms: Kelly Clarkson
Born: April 24, 1980


The release of last year's My December may not have broken records but it is a record that Kelly has proud to have made. Rumours have floated around on what exactly happened between Kelly and her record company bosses but Kelly has managed to emerge from it unscathed and eager to move onto her next album. It isn't' just her music that Kelly isn't afraid to stand up and fight for, but also her image. Kelly knows that she's never going to be the pretty prom queen blonde and accepts who she is and isn't afraid to slam those who suggest otherwise.  A strong female who isn't afraid to fight for what she believes in is what truly makes Kelly an Idol, as much as she dislikes the tag.

What's Next: Rumours have been floating about that Kelly's next album could be released before Christmas, which makes fans pray that this is true. Otherwise, Kelly will be touring with Reba McIntyre for their "Two Worlds, Two Voices" tour.


  16. Far From Odd: Panic at the Disco


Brendan Urie (Vocals/Rhythm Guitar/Keyboard/Piano/Accordian/Organ – April 12, 1987), Ryan Rose (Vocals/Lead Guitar/Lyrics/Keyboard/Piano/Accordian/Organ – August 30, 1986), Jon Walker (Vocals/Bass – September 17, 1985), Spencer Smith (Drums/Percussion – September 2, 1987)

Well these guys have certainly proved their critics wrong and broken out of the Fall Out Boy comparisons when they released their 2nd album Pretty Odd, earlier this year. But these guys are anything than odd! Yes they have an eclectic musical sound that has now allowed them to be recognised in their own right rather than via comparisons. Their infectious hit "Nine in the Afternoon" is one of those songs that just put a smile on your face as soon as you hear it.

What's Next: This month the guys take their world tour over to Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. In October they will be touring alongside Plain White Ts and Dashboard Confessional.


  15. The Up-and-Comer: Garrett Hedlund
Born: September 3, 1984


He's yet to become an A-List celebrity, but this young actor has certainly made an impression with our readers in order to take out 15th position. If he looks familiar, you may have seen Garrett in films such as Troy, Friday Night Lights, Eragon, Four Brothers, and more recently, playing Lindsay Lohan's love interest in Georgia Rule.

What's Next: As far as we know, this up and coming actor doesn't have any upcoming projects publicly confirmed, but it is rumoured to be starring as Louis in Hectic.

  14. Still Going Strong: Avril Lavigne
Born: September 27, 1984


Despite the fact that her latest album The Best Damn Thing was released last year, the album is still going strong with Avril still cranking out singles from it and currently touring around the world in honour of it. Last year when Avril made our list, we mentioned that she'd like to have her own clothing line, and it looks like Avril's come in true with that wish with the launch of her clothing line Abbey Dawn just last month.

What's Next: Currently Avril is on tour right through til November. And with the launch of Abbey Dawn, no doubt that will also keep her busy!

  13. Breaking Out: Miley Cyrus
Born: November 23, 1992


2008 has been a big year for Hannah Montana alter-ego Miley Cyrus. She released her debut album, letting fans see who Miley Cyrus is rather than Hannah Montana, and also began work on the ”Hannah Montana” movie. The ”Hannah Montana” empire and merchandise range has grown and even continues to grow all over the world. It's hard to believe that at the face of it all is just a 15 year old girl. The Vanity Fair controversy reminded us that , but ever the young woman that she has broken into during this past year, Miley has admitted her mistakes and has moved past it.

What's Next: As well as filming the ”Hannah Montana” movie, it is believed that the third season of ”Hannah Montana” will begin shooting later this month.  Miley is also squeezing in time to promote her album Breakout. She also has two films set for release later this year – Bolt and Further Adventures in Babysitting. And if that wasn't enough to keep Miley going, she has also said that she is in talks to write an autobiography in the next year.

  12. Grounded: Ashley Leggat
Born: September 26, 1986


Making our list for the second year running, it's not hard to see why when Ashley is a nice and charming young lady. Unlike other actresses her age, in her spare time, the ”Life With Derek” star can be found studying or dancing, demonstrating that she's a young woman with a firm head on her shoulders, planning ahead for the future and considering alternative possibilities in life.

What's Next: Ashley has finished filming The Jerk Theory, so keep your eyes out for that!


  11. All About the Music: Alexz Johnson
Born: November 4, 1986


It was a sad day when it was announced that ”Instant Star” would be ending with its 4th season. Although it jump started her career, lead actress Alexz Johnson knew that it was time to move onto bigger and brighter things, namely her long awaited music career that she had put on hold during ”Instant Star’. "I got to make the record I've wanted to make for the last four years and it was so worth it. And good things take time you know?" Alexz told alexz-johnson.net in an exclusive interview a few months ago.

What's Next: The release of her much anticipated debut album. It will be interesting to hear Alexz 's style of music rather than Jude Harrison's. At this point in time Alexz is hoping that it will be released this year, if not early next year and is eager to start touring for it. She has no plans currently to go back to television, but is interested in the idea of her music being used in films.

  10. From Brothers to Fathers: Hanson


Isaac Hanson (guitar – November 17, 1980), Taylor Hanson (Keyboard, Lead Vocals – March 14, 1983), Zac Hanson (Drums – October 22, 1985)

These brothers have defied critics and proved that they're not just another one hit wonder boy band. It's been over 10 years since they burst onto the music scene and over time these guys have managed to move away from commercial pop and transferred to meaningful independent music. While they were once squeaky long haired young teenage boys, the guys have grown up to be mature young men all married with their own families now. They even have their own company – 3CG Records. They have certainly proved their harshest critics wrong and demonstrated that if you persevere and stick to what you love and believe in, you will succeed.

What's Next: Last year the guys released their album The Walk and managed to juggle touring with family. With Isaac's wife giving birth to their second child last month and Zac's wife giving birth to their first child back in May, it would be safe to assume that the guys are concentrating on their own little families at the present moment.

  9. Little Miss Sunshine: Abigail Breslin
Born: April 14, 1996


From the adorably inquisitive Maya in Definitely, Maybe, to  Zoe in No Reservations, and of course Olive in Little Miss Sunshine, there's no doubt that there's a special quality about Abigail Breslin that makes viewers smile when she lights up the screen. Past and present co-stars have nothing but praise for this Nim's Island star, proving that she truly is a Little Miss Sunshine.

What's Next:  The movie adaptation of Jodi Picoult's novel My Sister's Keeper, due for release next year.

  8. The Cool Kids: Cast of High School Musical


Zac Efron (Troy Bolton – October 18, 1987), Vanessa Hudgens (Gabriella Montez – December 14, 1988), Ashley Tisdale (Sharpay Evans – July 2, 1985), Lucas Grabeel (Ryan Evans – November 23, 1984), Corbin Bleu (Chad Danforth – February 21, 1989), Monique Coleman (Taylor McKessie – November 13, 1981), Christopher Warren Jnr (Zeke Baylor – January 15, 1990), Kaycee Stroh (Martha Cox – May 29, 1984), Olesya Rulin (Kelsi Nielsen – March 17, 1986), Ryne Sanborne (Jason Cross – February 3, 1989)

Everyone wants a piece of these guys at the moment, with this talented cast appearing everywhere from films to music! The countdown is on til the release of the final (sob!) instalment of the High School Musical series. By the way these guys have skyrocketed into fame; something tells us that it will be a very long time until the mania over these guys dies down – which is a good thing for fans as it means that we'll see a lot more of them on screen even if it isn't as our beloved characters from East High.   

What's Next: You can catch the whole cast with the release of High School Musical 3: Senior Year in cinemas in upcoming months. Zac Efron has a few movies up his sleeve such as 17 Again, and Me and Orson Welles. Rumours are also still floating around about the Footloose remake. Vanessa Hudgens released her second album Identified last month and is set to start touring this month to promote it. As well as her various spokes model commitments, Vanessa can also be seen in the upcoming film Rock On. As well as working on his second album, Corbin Bleu fans can also get a taste of him in the upcoming film Freestyles. Now done with the Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Ashley Tisdale is focusing on her film career, beginning with Picture This and They Came From Upstairs. While Lucas Grabeel can be seen in the upcoming Milk, Lock and Roll Forever, The Adventures of Food Boy, College Road Trip, and is rumoured to be in Release.

  7. A Perfect Gentleman: Jared Padalecki
Born: July 19, 1982


What draws you to Jared Padalecki is that you know that he can be the sweet, sensitive, and perfect boyfriend (think Dean Forrester on ”Gilmore Girls”) but know that he has a backbone and can fight for what he believes in (think Sam on “Supernatural”). And even when he is a jerk (think Cheaper by the Dozen), we still can't help but love him anyway. Sure these may be the characters he's played and Jared is a separate person to them, but in real life Jared is just as lovable as his characters (his nice guy persona he attributes to hailing from Texas and thus the land of the perfect Southern gentleman) and girls are still in love with him.

What's Next: The demon hunting continues into its 4th season when ”Supernatural” returns to the CW on September 18. Jared is also in the films Home for Christmas – due out later this year, and the Friday 13th remake alongside Ryan Hansen (”Veronica Mars”), which is set for release next February.


  6. All Grown Up - Cast of One Tree Hill


Chad Michael Murray (Lucas Scott – August 24, 1981), James Lafferty (Nathan Scott – July 25, 1985), Hilarie Burton (Peyton Sawyer – July 1, 1982), Bethany Joy Galeotti (Haley James Scott – April 2, 1981), Sophia Bush (Brooke Davis – July 8, 1982), Lee Norris ( Marvin 'Mouth' McFadden – September 25, 1981), Jackson Brundage (Jamie Scott – November 20, 2001)

There was a bit of scepticism when it was announced that ”One Tree Hill” would be skipping ahead four years when it returned for its 5th season at the start of this year. But this daring move has paid off with ratings higher than ever and its fan base growing larger and larger. The characters may be all grown up but that doesn't stop fans from tuning in to not only see their favourite actors actually play closer to their actual age, but still being able to relate to storylines and themes that matter  to them in their own lives. The jump ahead has given the show a fresh and revived vibe that no one could have initially predicted.

What's Next: Season six premieres on the CW on September 1. Behind the scenes, Chad Michael Murray is set to write at least one episode, while Bethany Joy Galeotti is also set to direct, so fans are eagerly anticipating that. Outside of Tree Hill, Hilarie Burton can be seen in the upcoming films The Secret Life of Bees, and The Sacrifice. Hilarie is also set to make an appearance on the new HBO comedy sketch show based on the British Little Britain, while James Lafferty will be in the prequel to the Donnie Darko film, entitled S.Darko. Fans are still patiently waiting for Bethany Joy Galeotti's music to be released because that girl has an amazing voice! While Sophia Bush fans are awaiting the release of her films The Narrows, and Table For Three. Additionally, Lee Norris also has a film coming out titled Blood Done Sign My Name.


  5. Whirlwind of Talent: Bonnie Wright
Born: February 17, 1991


She started off with a "Good luck" to Harry in the first Harry Potter film, but since then Ginny Weasley's portrayer, Bonnie Wright has become a star in her own right. This young actress's talent exceeds acting, as she also plays the piano and recorder. She also does ballet, modern, and African dances, as well as demonstrating her sporty side through surfing, soccer, rounders, and tennis. Bonnie also loves to do accents and is known for her Cockney, Yorkshire, and Australian accents. Phew! Like we said, she's just a whirlwind of talent!

What's Next: You can catch more of Bonnie when Harry Potter and the Half-Blooded Prince is comes out on November 21. Then there's the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in 2010.

  4. Beyond Hermione: Emma Watson
Born: April 15, 1990


Hermione Granger is all grown up now, as is her portrayer Emma Watson. When Emma made our Top 30 last year, we dubbed her the "smart girl" and mentioned that Emma would love to go to university but wouldn't know what to study since there are so many options out there! There are also many sides to Emma and she's more than "the girl who plays Hermione Granger on Harry Potter. As well as her intelligence (she scored 8A*s and 2 As in her GSCEs back in 2006), Emma is also known for being environmentally conscious and supports the "Wild Trout Trust". She was even nominated for the "Greenest Star Award" at the "Disney Playhouse – Playing for the Planet".

What's Next: Harry Potter and the Half-Blooded Prince is set for release on November 21. Then there's the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in 2010. Emma fans also have the films Napoleon and Betsy, The Tale of Desperaux, and Ballet Shoes (which will be limitedly released in certain US cinemas on August 26, before being available on DVD on September 2 in the States) to look forward to as well.

  3. Going Deeper: The Jonas Brothers
Kevin Jonas (Guitar/Backing Vocals – November 5, 1987), Joe Jonas (Lead vocals/Percussion & Keyboards – August 15, 1989), Nick Jonas (Lead vocals/Percussion & Keyboards – September 16, 1992),


With their infectious pop hits, it's hard to resist the temptation that is the Jonas Brothers. Although the boys sound has slightly matured on their new album and getting a bit more personal with songs about experiences they've had since the last album, the bouncy pop essence that we love so much is still there. This last year we've seen them go deeper not just musically wise but also career wise with their roles in the film Camp Rock. But at the end of the day, despite all these changes and it's good to see that the boys remain grounded and stick to their roots – it's all about the music and brotherhood for them.

What's Next: Their next album A Little Longer drops August 12, which will be made from 100% recyclable materials (how cool is that?). The boys will also be busy with their "Burnin' Up" tour.

  2. Rockin' Around the World: Tokio Hotel
Bill Kaulitz (vocals – September 1, 1989), Tom Kaulitz (guitar – September 1, 1989), Georg Listing (bass – March 31, 1987), Gustav Schafer (drums – September 8, 1988)


Since the release of their first single "Durch den Monsun" back in 2005, this German rock quartet's popularity has just risen and risen. If you already not familiar with them now, you soon will be because this band is set for international domination set to spread the "Tokio fever". They're Germany's most successful band at present and have sold almost three million DVDs and records in Germany alone and most of them aren't even 21 yet!

What's Next: World domination. Oh and plenty more touring.


   1. Move Over Harry Potter: Cast of Twilight
Robert Pattison (Edward Cullen – May 13, 1986 ), Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan – April 9, 1990), Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen - February 21, 1987), Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black - February  11, 1992),  Jackson Rathbone (Jasper Hale - December 21, 1984), Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale - May 17, 1988),  Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen – March 15, 1985), Michael Welch (Mike Newton - July 25, 1987), Christian Serratos  (Angela Webber – September 21, 1990), Anna Kendrick  (Jessica Stanley – August 9, 1985), Justin Chon (Eric Yorkie) Cam Gigadent (James – August 16, 1982), Rachelle Lefevre (Victoria – February 1, 1979), Edi Gathegi (Laurent – March 10, 1979).


We knew that Twilight was going to be BIG but we never realised just how big this novel-turned-movie would become! Despite the fact that the film isn't realised until December, there is so much anticipation for this movie to come out that it's bound to give the Harry Potter franchise a run for its money and you'll soon all be going "Harry Who?" For months now, this talented cast have been the centre of attention with everyone intrigued and wanting to know more about them.
Twilight fans are definitely loyal – just one week into voting the cast of Twilight had already taken out 44% of the votes! It's probably no surprise that they've come out on top in the end. And if you thought the fan base was big now, just wait until this modern day vampire love story actually hits cinemas and the rest of the world becomes enraptured with it – the fan base will surely multiply even more!


What's Next: Twilight is set to hit screens on December 12 so no doubt that fans will be queuing up to catch these stars in action. Additionally, Kristen Stewart has a few more movies set for release such as Yellow Hankerchief, What Just Happened? Adventureland, and Welcome to the Rileys. Her on-screen leading man, Robert Pattison can be seen in the upcoming films How To Be, Little Ashes, and The Summer House.

Kellan Lutz is in the upcoming Generation Kill, while Rachelle Lefevre can be seen in American Summer.  Anna Kendrick fans are still waiting for the release of her film The Marc Pease Experiment, while Justin Chon fans can look forward to the release of  Crossing Over.
