Small but mighty, THR’s Young Hollywood 2019 honorees are punching above their weight. From Emmy nominee Asante Blackk to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood scene-stealer Julia Butters, these under-18 actors are gracing tentpoles and auteur projects, filling their Coogan accounts, amassing millions of social media followers and sharing the screen with the likes of Meryl Streep. And while they’re clearly destined for bigger things — with some already stepping into the director’s chair and producer pitch meetings — they relish the kid life, too. Hot tip for adults from Avengers’ Ariana Greenblatt: “Life is too short not to have fun.”
Profiles by Trilby Beresford, Tara Bitran, Kirsten Chuba, Aaron Couch, Ashley Cullins, Mia Galuppo, Katie Kilkenny, Borys Kit, Natalie Jarvey, Bryn Elise Sandberg, Rebecca Sun and Benjamin Svetkey.
