12 Actors Who Could Be The Breakout Movie Stars Of 2020

3. Tom Burke

The Souvenir Tom Burke

Tom Burke is another actor who's been on the periphery for a long time while racking up more than 50 roles across both TV and lower-budget film.

He came to be known by many with his fantastic performance in The Souvenir earlier this year, but there's one big reason 2020 could be his starmaking year: David freaking Fincher.

Fincher's new Netflix film Mank is currently shooting, and focuses on the troubles of Citizen Kane writer Herman J. Mankiewicz (Gary Oldman) completing the script.

Burke has been cast in the pivotal role of none other than Orson Welles, and even ignoring Burke's strong resemblance to the legendary filmmaker, with Fincher at the helm, there's virtually no chance Burke doesn't give a barnstorming performance.

Depending on the size of Burke's role, he could very well be in the Best Supporting Actor Oscar conversation this time next year.
