5. Jim Sturgess
Jim Sturgess is a great actor who has proven himself time and time again with strong supporting performances in a wealth of up-market productions, and after starring in The Wachowski's Cloud Atlas last year, it's about time he ascended to the next level of super-stardom, entering the Hollywood A-list by taking on Han Solo. He's got the rough around the edges look down perfect, and has played in a variety of roles that make it clear he can assume the classic anti-hero effortlessly. Of course, he's British, which might annoy a few purist fans who will want an American to play the role, but with his countless performances that warranted an American accent, has Sturgess not proven by now his flawless ability to mimic the accent?
