TOP 35 Actors and Actresses with or under 35 working today: 2013

Actors and actresses who complete 36 years old this year weren't take in consideration: I know I have to apologize the great Michael Fassbender, Samantha Morton, Jessica Chastain and Tom Hardy. My number 1? Jennifer Lawrence! I must admit it was a difficult decision: Gosling is one of the most brilliant actors working today, but Lawrence shined so bright last year. She proved she is a serious young actress since the first day she appeared in the big-screen: Jennifer Lawrence is a true movie star and the girl of the moment (and she has a damn awesome personality!)
