Nineteen-year-old Daniel Radcliffe was just 12 when Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone made him a household name, but with five Potter films now under his belt, he's proving to be more than just the most famous wizard in the world. This year, Radcliffe took on the male lead in Equus-a complete departure from anything Harry Potter related. Radcliffe was cast as a the dark character of Alan Strange in the Broadway show, who is put under psychiatric surveillance when he blinds six horses. It called for a 10-minute all-nude scene, received positive reviews from critics and left fans eager to see what Radcliffe will take on (or off!) after the seventh and final Potter film wraps.

WHAT'S NEXT
While the cast has already started shooting the last film, the penultimate Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince hits theatres July 17th.

Shia LeBeouf has come a long way since he won an Emmy for his performance on Even Stevens just six years ago.

WHAT'S NEXT Labeouf's latest film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen hits theatres June 24.

While Penn Badgley had appeared in several WB television series and the 2006 romantic comedy John Tucker Must Die, it wasn't until he was cast as lovable Brooklyn boy Dan Humphrey on Gossip Girl that he became a household name. It's been a career highlight for the young actor, but it's also changed his personal life as well. Badgley has been dating co-star Blake Lively for over a year.

WHAT'S NEXT Badgley and the rest of the Gossip gang have been renewed for another season and his latest film The Stepfather will hit theatres in October.

Cam Gigandet

After playing the despised Kevin Volchok-who ultimately killed Mischa Barton's character-on The OC, Cam Gigandet seems to have nailed the role of the desirable villain. Being cast against the beloved Edward and Bella as the bad vampire in Twilight should have given most Twilighters a reason to loathe him, but he still remains a fan favorite.

WHAT'S NEXT His character didn't survive the first of the Twilight films, but he has nothing to worry about with five films already slated for 2009 release dates.

Ed Westwick

Ed Westwick's mysterious bad boy character on Gossip Girl and adorable real-life British accent have many fans wondering where he's been hiding all this time. Westwick started his career at age six, but didn't break onto the Hollywood scene until he landed the role of Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl in 2008. With a new movie and another season of Gossip Girl on the way, it seems fans won't have to worry about getting enough of his smoldering stare.

WHAT'S NEXT He'll wrap up the last of the 2009 Gossip Girl season and will soon be promoting his latest film S. Darko with co-star Jackson Rathbone.
