12 Actors Who Could Breakout In 2017

12. Tom Taylor - The Dark Tower

Tom Taylor is a true newcomer. Other than a few small roles in TV shows like The Last Kingdom, Legends and Doctor Foster, he hasn't done much. In fact, 2017 marks his first ever film role, and what a role it is.

Taylor will star alongside Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey in the much-anticipated adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower. He'll play Jake Chambers, a young boy who aids Elba's gunslinger in his quest to reach the titular tower. It's a substantial role, not only for this film but for Stephen King's series. If this first film is a hit, Taylor could already have a major franchise on his hands.

Taylor won the coveted role after an international search for the perfect young actor who could hold their own with Elba. The success of The Dark Tower could really go either way but as good or bad as the film may be, Taylor's got a massive chance to showcase his chops.
