We had so much fun thinking up and creating the 30 Hot Male Actors Under 30 in 2016 and then the 30 Hot Female Actresses Under 30 in 2016 that we decided to bring you a brand new one! We’re looking at the youngsters in Tinseltown and the mark they’re already making on such a competitive industry.

Here are the 20 Hot Male Actors under 20 in 2016:

1 – Dylan Minnette

Date of Birth: December 29, 1996 

17 year old Dylan Minnette was born in Indiana and is both a musician and an actor best known for his roles as Zach Cooper in Goosebumps and the son of Jack Shepherd in the smash hit show, Lost.

There’s the Goosebumps movie to catch him out in and there’s also one more film for 2016 – A Man in the Dark. You’ll also find Stephan Lang and Jane Levy in it too.

2 – Jacob Lofland

Date of Birth: July 30, 1999 

He was born in Arkansas and is now just shy of 20 but Jacob Lofland is well known for his part in Mud as Neckbone, and also for the role of Aris in Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials.

Free State of Jones is the first movie in 2016 you should check out if you want to see more of him. Plus it also stars Matthew McConaughey which is never a bad thing right? It looks like a pretty intense movie so if you’re looking for something a little more light-hearted, why not take a peek at North instead. This drama-romance-adventure movie has got Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son, Patrick in it too.

3 – Asa Butterfield

Date of Birth: April 1, 1997

He might have been born on April Fool’s Day but there’s nothing funny or jokey about Asa Butterfield, the 18 year old actor from Islington, London in England. If you’ve ever seen the film, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, you’ll know exactly who he is. He was the little boy in question.

2016 is going to be a very busy year for this little Hollywood young’un and there are three movies set for release. Arrivals, The Space Between Us and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiars.

Date of Birth: July 21, 1997 

This child actor was shot to fame when he appeared in Modern Family as the part of Manny Delgado and a few years later, in 2012, he then wrote and released a book which of course, helped him greatly in the fame department!

He’s still carrying on with Modern Family for 2016 and there’s a few movies you’ll see him pop up in. El Americano: The Movie is the one we are most excited for and he plays the part of Cuco, the main part in fact, a Mexican parrot on a big adventure. We do love a good animated movie!

There’s just one movie out in 2016 starring this guy, an action-adventure called Warrior’s Gate.

8 – Jaden Smith

Date of Birth: July 8, 1998 

When you have one of the world’s best actors as your dad, it’s no wonder you go into acting yourself. Let’s face it, when your dad is as cool as Will Smith, you could pretty much do whatever you wanted… Right?

We fell in love with Jaden Smith a hundred times over the years but especially in that movie with his Dad, The Pursuit of Happyness.

You’ll see him in the TV series Brothers in Atlanta for 2016 – you should definitely give it a watch!

You’ll probably have spotted Ian Nelson in Teen Wolf and also in the The Hunger Games too. He played one of the male tributes from District 3.

Another cutie just in the 20 and under bracket, Cody Christian is an American actor who was seen in both Pretty Little Liars and Teen Wolf. In fact, he’s still in the latter, playing the part of Theo Raeken.

In fact, that’s where you’ll see him for 2016 but you’ll also catch a glimpse of him if you watch Killing Animals, a movie we’ve mentioned a few times so far.

Date of Birth: December 26, 1995

Did you see the hit TV show Homeland? Timothée Chalamet was in that and he was also in the 2014 movie, Intersellar (which we loved). There’s plenty of time to keep checking him out too.

Not just an actor but a singer too, Luke Benward has been in a few films over the years, and TV shows too, things like Good Luck Charlie for the Disney Channel, and he was also in the 2014 movie Cloud 9.

There are actually three movies coming out over the next year starring this Hollywood hunk, Measure of a Man, Skate God and Fog City, all of which look pretty interesting. There’s also another movie announced (but no release date yet) called 16 South.

18 – Owen Vaccaro

One of the very youngest on this list, but one of the actors that definitely shows great promise as he matures, is Owen Vaccaro. He’s been in just one movie so far, Daddy’s Home with Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg and Linda Cardellini.

There are two movies coming out in 2016 starring this adorable little cutie. Rom is currently being filmed and is a sci-fi flick but we’re more excited for Mother’s Day which will also star Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, Julia Roberts, Jack Whitehall and a whole bunch of great film-names. We’re actually SUPER excited for this film!

---

19 – Forrest Goodluck

Date of Birth: April, 1998

You may remember Forrest Goodluck from the 2015 movie The Revenant in which he played Hawk. He’s actually from the same place that Breaking Bad was set – Alberquerque and the big movie was his first role, one he actually auditioned for at just 15 years of age.

There doesn’t appear to be much on the horizon so far for this little starlet but we predict big things for his future. Just you wait and see – he’ll be a big deal for sure.

20 – Tony Revolori

Date of Birth: April 28, 1996 

He’s 19 years old (and soon to be 20 in fact) and American actor, Tony Revolori is already making quite the difference to the movie business and is well known for his part in The Grand Budapest Hotel as Zero Moustafa.

We’re very excited for the imminent release of The 5th Wave also starring Chloe Grace Moretz plus Nick Robinson is also making an appearance. Table 19 is another one you should keep your eyes peeled for, a movie that also stars Anna Kendrick, Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe from Friends) and Stephan Marchant among others.
