Braeden Lemasters

Braeden scored 5 major prime time network guest roles in 2008, including top shows "Cold Case," "Law and Order: SVU" and "Ghost Whisperer." We’ll see more of him in 2009 with 3 movie roles on the way.

 

Luke Benward

After taking 2007 off, Luke shot back into the results this year with the comedy adventure "Minutemen." The movie was a ratings winner with Disney Channel and Luke was a poll winner with his first top 10 victory.

Jake T. Austin

Jake debuted in the top 20 last year and now reaches the top 10 with his growing fan base from "Wizards of Waverly Place." With the success of "Hotel for Dogs" as 2009 begins, we’re sure he’ll do well in the next poll too.

Nathan Gamble

For Nathan’s 3rd year in the poll, he had a piece of the action in two of 2008’s biggest movie hits: "The Dark Knight" and "Marley & Me." We also saw our youngest top 10 finisher in two big TV shows, "House MD" and “Ghost Whisperer."

Freddie Highmore

How can you top Freddie’s movie career with so many starring roles? How about two starring roles, playing twins in "The Spiderwick Chronicles." How about five years in a row in the AFTI top 10, the longest current winning streak!

 

Kåre Hedebrant

Kåre’s brooding performance helped lead Sweden’s "Let the Right One In" to huge success with critics and audiences. Whatever the future holds for Kåre, he’ll long be remembered for this vampire classic.

Jimmy Bennett

This is Jimmy’s third year in the top 10, 5th year as an AFTI finalist, and for 2008 it’s his highest ranking yet. After two major films in 2008, we look forward to one of his biggest roles yet, in the new Star Trek movie on the way.

Nat Wolff

The Naked Brothers Band grew from a quirky TV movie to a quirky TV series, and now they have become a real life story too. Nat Wolff led the rockers through a multi city tour with his singing and songwriting talent.

Chase Ellison

Chase has been voted into the AFTI poll for 4 years in a row, but this is his first trip to the top 10. He’s been busy in movies like "Towelhead" and "Fireflies in the Garden," and in 2009 he’ll have a big role in "The Tooth Fairy."

Cole Sprouse

Some of our AFTI poll winners weren’t even born when Cole first showed up 12 years ago. Since then, he’s topped the poll once and finished in the top 10 three times. The Suite Life’s move to the high seas has been good.

Emile Berling

International voters have often put favorites in AFTI’s top 10, and this year for the first time our number 1 goes to a non-English speaker. Emile’s powerful, dramatic performance impressed our French voters in great numbers. Congratulations Emile for a stunning and overwhelming victory!
