Chris Hemsworth, Alison Lohman, And 71 Other Actors Who Were Once Named Hollywood’s Next Big Star

One prize they’ve awarded since 1978 is the “Star of Tomorrow.” Below are all the actors who have ever won it, some of whom went on to become actual movie stars and others who’ll make you go, “Who?!”

Note: Some years, they skipped the award, while others, they only gave it to one person instead of a “male” and “female” star. Also, sometimes they awarded a similarly titled award instead, like Rising Star. If so, I’ve included those.

Note 2: The photos featured here are of the actors at the convention until you reach 1989. Before 1989 the convention didn’t release photos, so I just used contemporary photos of the actors. OK! Let’s go!
