It takes talent to make vapidity complex. Chang did just that while stealing jewelry (and our attention) in Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring.

He has a charming energy as Shailene Woodley's love interest in The Spectacular Now. We can't wait to see what he does as her nemesis in 2014's Divergent.

Her icy turn as the best friend who betrays Elle Fanning in Ginger & Rosa was so devastating that we're willing to forget about Beautiful Creatures. (And psst: She's Jane Campion's daughter.)

The United States of Tara alum can break your heart with a smile and make you laugh with a wince. Do not miss her unflinching performance in the upcoming indie Short Term 12.

The cerebral Spanish-German actor, who delivered a memorable turn in Inglourious Basterds, is kicking it into high gear with the racing drama Rush and The Fifth Estate.

He's popped up in The Lone Ranger, World War Z, and Iron Man 3. Now all the powerful actor needs is a lead role of his own.

The playwright behind the buzzy Off Broadway drama Really Really is writing for Ryan Murphy's new series, Open, in development at HBO. And he has a deal with ABC Studios, where he's developing a new series produced by Shonda Rhimes.
