2. Jim Sturgess
The Case For: Jim Sturgess has an interesting body of work. Across The Universe, 21, The Way Back, Upside Down, Cloud Atlas. He picks interesting films, and seems constantly one performance away from breaking through to mega-stardom. He has the looks, the charisma, the credentials, hes basically almost there.
The Case Against: Sturgess isnt that far off. He needs a few more roles where his shirt comes off if he wants to win the sex appeal vote, and he needs to do something about his hair. He could do with cultivating his reputation as a feminist, but hes a real contender. Taking his shirt off a bit more wouldnt hurt either.
