16 Actors Who Could Be The Breakout Stars Of 2017
14. Brenton Thwaites
The rising Aussie actor made his U.S. debut with an appearance in 2013's horror hit Oculus, and followed it up with roles in Maleficent, The Giver, Son of a Gun and this year's Gods of Egypt.
Thwaites has snagged the role of a lifetime as Henry Turner, the son of Orlando Bloom's Will Turner, in the upcoming fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film.
Considering that Thwaites is around the same age that Bloom was when he appeared in the first Pirates film, it's clear that this is an attempt to give the franchise a dashing new star, and given that these movies print money no matter how bad they end up being, it'll unquestionably do wonders for his studio cred moving forward.
He also happens to be a pretty great actor, too, if you just forget he was ever anywhere near Gods of Egypt.
