Who's the best child actor?

Post by Revan »

Whom is it? I don't really have an opinion really. Because they're all awful...

Um, Hermione. Yeah, she was pretty good with the know-it-all thing.

Well not the kid who played Ron. He's got about two facial expressions, surprised and aghast. Which come to think of it, are really just the same look. Like he stepped in something nasty.

Haley Joel is good :D
What about that little girl in Mrs. Doubtfire? She's so cute!!!

The best all-time child actor may have been Jodie Foster. She gets my vote at any rate.

Can't think of any current female child actor off the top of my head. Kirsten Dunst wowed me way back in Interview With The Vampire; she's quite grown up now, of course, but she still wows me! :D

By the way, Merinaz, it just struck me...Canteloupe...of Doom? That's hilarious! :lol:

Er... We're talking about the child actors in HP...

I think the actor that plays Malfoy is the best... though that doesn't mean to say that he is a good actor...

I like the kid that plays Ron: he looks exactly like some of the villagers in The Seven Samurai... Almost like a an over-acting emoticon!

I think the actor who plays Ron is about as good at making face expressions as a Haruchai...

lol, Darth

I would have to say the kid who plays Malfoy...Daniel Radcliffe is a close second for me. They are getting better though, you gotta admit!

Dakota Fanning, is an amazing little actress. She has an extremely mature grasp of the importance of a fully developed character. Some things that we don't see in many adult actors today. I definitely tip my hat to Ms. Fanning, as the best child actor I have yet seen.

I think Hermione has gotten better. She was terrible in the first movie...terrible.

Remember the kid that played the Boy on AMERICAN GOTHIC (I thin kthe actor may have been Lucas Black)? He was also in Slingblade! Now THAT's a great kid actor....

What happened to him?!!!
