16 Actors Who Could Be The Breakout Stars Of 2017

3. Kelly Marie Tran

Power Rangers Movie Pink

Kelly Marie Tran is best known for her work on CollegeHumour, but has impressively snagged a role in Star Wars: Episode VIII, a part that John Boyega curiously described as "the new lead" of the series.

There's been a lot of speculation about whether Boyega misspoke, is trolling the press or is in fact telling the truth, as other rumours suggest that she plays a supporting role as a resistance fighter who helps Finn escape from Kylo Ren.

Either way, it seems that she's going to get some substantial screen time in the movie, and as first major credits go, it's damn-near impossible to get more impressive than this.
