Where You've Seen Him: As a confused Catholic schoolboy in The Dangerous Minds of Altar Boys. Next month he'll play a badass prep-school student in The Emperor's Club.
Why We Picked Him: Isn't it obvious? Just look at his intense eyes. On a nonsuperficial level, we thought his performance in Altar Boys was practically Oscar-worthy.
Comic Genius: Like his Altar Boys character, Emile, 17, is into drawing cartoons. One of his inspirations: The Far Side by Gary Larson. "I have a weird sense of humor," he admits. This public school senior also writes screenplays, Saturday Night Live-type sketches, and rap/poetry.
The Most Interesting Thing About Him: "The fact that I won't tell you the most interesting thing about me you'll just have to wonder." Ooh, how mysterious.
