Not every child actor is a prodigy, as they also face situations and challenges that could lead to their acting being a hundred percent cringe and visually unbelievable.
So today, we are going to be taking a look at a list of my top favorite child actors, or better still, favorite young lead movie..
I know a bunch of you already had this in mind even before it came on the list, but honestly what is not to love above this movie and the once upon a time child prodigy Jaden Smith? as he dishes out a remarkable portrayal of a young black child with a single parent( mother) who struggles to keep up with her job and at the same time caring for her son as they relocate to a new town.
The most memorable thing for me about this movie is the karate skills displayed by our young protagonist, even though he had trouble learning to understand and use it to fend off his bullies initially, but the end result is nothing but spectacular.
I don't know how much familiarity you have towards the show, "Raising Dion", but friends... I'll be lying if I didn't say that the show is superb. Starring another young protagonist who I believe is truly talented. Raising Dion is tv show by Netflix, based on a 2015 comic book and short film,"Raising Dion".
The movie sees our young protagonist, Dion, as he grows through the pain of loosing his father. And even though his mother is always trying be strong for him, he is always there to support her in her weakest moments. And to make matters worse, he suddenly discovers he has super powers....
Ja'siah Young's ability to tell a story by showing with physical expression is marvelous. And playing the role of a child with super powers is something I thought a child his age wouldn't handle. But just like every child actor on this list, he killed the performance...no stress.
Everyone is very familiar with this popular and ridiculously funny family movie, starring the kid wonder of comedy movies Macaulay Culkin as he single handedly immobilized his home invaders. And even though this movie pushed the borders of reality to build on unrealistic events, it was funny still and in all, a breath of fresh air. And Macaulay's childish expression and antiques proved to be just what the doctor prescribed for a blue day.
In the most recent Netflix released sci-fi movie 2022. Time travel was born, and it happened in a movie called, the "Adam Project", starring young star Walker Scobell and Ryan Reynolds as Adam. A pilot from the future who returns to the past to find his wife and stop an evil conspiracy.
The uniqueness of this movie was such that it broke every known rule that has ever been stressed upon by other time travel movies, but it did that with swag, finesse, and with a secret recipe called Walker Scobell. Although Scobell is nothing different from any other child actor you might have come across in several Hollywood movies, he managed to stand out due to his commendable effort in mimicking Ryan Reynolds. And even though he didn't finally become a merk with a mouth, he still had words flying out of his mouth in a manner that only provoked laughter in the audience.
Watching him work was a delight and I am mostly excited to see his future works... hopefully they don't disappoint.
Finally, You may not agree with my choice of actors, but I have chosen them based on me, and with respect to their beauty, childish charms, relatability and need to cause havock. And even though half of the child actors in this list are all grown up, I strongly believe that their movies will forever echo through time as one of the best child actor leads.
