20 Best Actors 25 And Under - Katie
Holmes It's very odd to get the feeling from watching someone a girl as cute as Katie Holmes that this is someone who's never looked in the mirror. But that's the sense her acting gives you; she's that natural and there's that sort of absence of vanity in the way she'll contort her features in a dubious expression or wipe the hair out of her face. Like most actresses her age, she hasn't played roles that demanded extraordinary things from her. "Dawson's Creek" certainly doesn't. But she always comes through as true and believable, without ever resorting to cliche or reaching for melodrama. She's had very good taste in her material and the company she keeps, too. "Disturbing Behavior" and "Teaching Mrs. Tingle" were predictable choices (and her least successful), but her debut film was remarkable, challenging "The Ice Storm", and her newest is L.A. Confidential writer/director Curtis Hanson's "Wonder Boys", in which she plays a college girl infatuated with a professor played by Michael Douglas. In between those films she chose to do the very hip, funny, daring "Go" with Swingers director Doug Liman. "Dawson's Creek" creator Kevin Williamson may have been going out on a limb to claim that Katie would become a surefire future Oscar winner, but he is not wrong to have faith in her instinct for substance and reality in the characters she brings to life. Other actors included on the list were Tobey Maguire (co-star in The Ice Storm and Wonder Boys), Kate Winslet, Thora Birch, Heath Ledger, Drew Barrymore, Christina Ricci (co-star in The Ice Storm), Elijah Wood (co-star in The Ice Storm), Natalie Portman, Kirsten Dunst, Joshua Jackson (co-star in Dawson's Creek), Jula Stiles, Dominique Swain, Wes Bently, Freddie Prinze Jr., Giovanni Ribisi, Jonathan Jackson, Angelina Jolie, Leonardo DiCaprio and Rachael Leigh Cook (guest starred on Dawson's Creek) |
