Soleil Moon Frye
Soleil Moon Frye had spunk in Punky Brewster, but she now has a lot more to look forward to. The majority of Frye’s extensive CV consists of voice acting parts in programs like The Proud Family, Bratz, and Planet Sheen. Her most illustrious in-person recurring role was in Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.
Eric Lloyd
In the 1994 Christmas classic The Santa Clause, he never ceased believing in Santa, but Eric Lloyd’s Hollywood career lacked the same allure. The young actor came back for the follow-up films and scored a number of bit parts in both cinema and television, but he never truly got that breakthrough role. As the lead vocalist and guitarist for the band Radiomason, he also dabbles in music.
Emma Watson
These Harry Potter youngsters are special in some way. It’s not very shocking. We saw each of them mature after first meeting them as child performers. Emma Watson is one of the most socially aware people working for a better world, in addition to being a style icon in Hollywood. She graduated from Brown University, continues to be cast in big parts in Hollywood, has emerged as a vocal advocate for equal rights, and was appointed a UN Women goodwill ambassador.
Shia LaBeouf
These days, Shia LeBeouf is synonymous with the word “mad,” so it’s hard to blame you. The performer seemed to have taken a side trip into lunatic territory. He has engaged in violent altercations with regular people and has recently played dubious parts in movies. It’s incredible to think that LeBeouf was one of the hottest movie stars just a few years ago. His promising early parts developed into A-list billing in an unpopular new Indiana Jones film, followed by the unpopular Michael Bay Transformers films. Perhaps LeBeouf has always taken underwhelming parts.
Michelle Trachtenberg
Are you familiar with Harriet the Spy? If so, you could have an obscure memory of a geeky brunette. Trachtenberg, however, has lost that innocent appearance, which has enabled her to land several high-profile parts in television series over the years, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 17 Again, Mercy, and Gossip Girl.
