Billy Magnussen's filmography is practically prolific compared to most other actors on this list, with more than 50 roles - primarily in the world of TV - to his name.

In recent years he's also enjoyed a few notable movie roles in the likes of Game Night and Aladdin, but 2020 will categorically be his busiest and most exciting year yet.

Above all else, he's been cast in an unspecified role in No Time to Die, with speculation that he's playing a CIA agent who comes into conflict with 007.

Elsewhere, he's set to play a younger version of Christopher Moltisanti in the Sopranos prequel The Many Saints of Newark, and will appear in Barry Levinson's new drama Harry Haft.

But the biggest boost to Magnussen's career might in fact stem from the recent announcement that he's set to reprise his Aladdin role of Prince Anders for a Disney+ spin-off film.

Even if the movie doesn't hit streaming by the end of 2020, the marketing push will have most certainly begun, with Magnussen's face front-and-center.
