Where you’ve seen him: Small parts in Troy (2004) and Friday Night Lights (2004) have led to featured roles in 2005′s Four Brothers (as Mark Wahlberg’s youngest brother) and 2007′s Georgia Rule (as Lindsay Lohan’s small-town crush).

Big in 2010 because: The 25-year-old beat out countless hopefuls to land the lead in Tron Legacy (slated for Dec. 2010), Disney’s $150 million sequel to 1982′s Tron — the eye-popping trailer alone caused a major stir at Comic-Con.

I’m so happy he’s starting to get some recognition. I commented on the article, just in case EW is keeping an eye on them. If he gets a lot of positive comments, maybe they’ll plan more coverage of him.

BTW – I think the Feb 2010 issue of Empire magazine that comes out Dec. 26th is going to have a feature on Tron Legacy,
