Hollywood is wishing a lot upon these stars

Their ubiquity made us wonder: Who else leads that list? Using casting and search data from Movie Insider and IMDb, we analyzed actors’ recent starring film roles, upcoming projects and page views. Our ranking includes Oscar winners, action stars, and character actors, though there are some big gaps in our findings. The movie business still skews white and male, and so does this list. There also are two men who have been accused of abusive behavior toward women, which doesn’t seem to have diminished their ability to find work.

But there’s reason to expect progress: Haddish, one of three women and three actors of color to make our top 10, was relatively unknown just last summer.

“What stands out is that this group of actors is truly cross-generational, a mix of old-school and new-school, with some representing multiple decades in the business, alongside dynamic young stars that are relatively early in their careers,” Dergarabedian says.

Franco

Franco starred in “The Disaster Artist” and won a Golden Globe for actor in a comedy. In May, he played a warlord in “Future World,” which was savaged by critics on Rotten Tomatoes.

He has a handful of indie projects geared up for the next year, including action drama “Blood Heist.” And he’ll lend his voice as James in “Naya Legend of the Golden Dolphin.”
