Casey Affleck

Though still very young, Casey Affleck has stepped up as one of the lead actors of his generation, giving Awards-worthy performances in many of his recent films. Intelligent, intense and, when he needs to be, downright creepy, Affleck has been getting A-list attention over the last year, putting him (along with Leonardo DiCaprio, James Franco, Ryan Gosling and Christian Bale) at the top of many of today's list for actors in their 30s. With Cogan's Trade, a new movie from director Andrew Dominik, around the corner, look for Casey's stock to continue to rise. He already has five arguably classic performances under his belt - more than most actors ever accomplish.
