My favorite currently popular actor!

Jimmy Bennett



This is Jimmy as he appeared (as Jeremiah) in a movie that I'm sure everyone here has seen: 'The Heart is Deceitful Above all Things'.

In 'Heart....' he played a boy who loves heavy metal music and sings "I am the Antichrist". In real life he really does love heavy metal music!

I think he's an exceptionally talented actor with a lot of 'presence', or charisma, plus he has the natural, all-boy look that makes him so appealing.
So...what do you think of him?  Smiley

K,

Jimmy is one of my current favourites.

He's on my list of current favourites and to qualify for that list the actor must be under 15 at the start of the calendar year.

I find it difficult to chose one favourite ahead of another, but if I had to whittle my list down I think Jimmy would be in the top ten.

I think Jimmy is a very talented actor, but it seems there are quite a few who think exactly the opposite. Check out this thread on IMDb:

Here'a a list of my 25 current favourites:

Cole Sprouse [8/92] 9/2000
Dylan Patton [7/92] 3/2002
David Dorfman [2/93] 3/2003
Darian Weiss [11/92] 3/2003
Oliver Davis [7/93] 5/2003
Cayden Boyd  [5/94]  7/2003
Jimmy Bennett  [2/96] 9/2003
Jules-Angelo Bigarnet [12/93]  3/2004
Freddie Highmore [2/92] 5/2004
Jin-Bin Park  [3/95] 8/2004
Chase Ellison  [9/93] 11/2004
Boo Boo Stewart  [1/94] 1/2005
Seung-ho Yu  [8/93] 1/2005
Charlie Trairattana  [1/93] 1/2005
Ryunosuke Kamiki  [5/93] 6/2005
David Beaudoin [2/96] 10/2005
Bobby Coleman  [5/97] 1/2006
Keir Gilchrist [9/92] 2/2006
Adrian Alonso  [4/94] 4/2006
Allen Alvarado  [2/96] 8/2006
Christian Byers  [7/93] 8/2006
Kodi Smit-McPhee [c1996] 8/2006
Mark Indelicato  [7/94] 1/2007
Samuel Patrick Chu [c1994] 3/2007
Max Baldry [1/96] 4/2007

The list is not in order of favouritism but is in order of when the actor was added to the list, from the earliest to most recent additions. All the actors born in 1992 will drop off my list at the start of the new year.

I haven't seen 'The Heart is Deceitful..' yet but I did see Jimmy in 'Hostage'.
He is cute and has mega boy presence.

I checked that imdb thread. This is in line with a point Josephk made
some time ago - that strange hostility many adults show in speaking of
child actors. "I can't STAND that kid!" is a common utterance with them.
Maybe its some kind of macho self-image kind of thing.

I think someone in university should do a thesis on this current phenomenon of "haters" on the Internet. They are pervasive on almost all forums and many blogs.
I feel (as some others do) that the cause might be the anonymity of the Internet, combined with the loss of respect and common decency in this modern world, brings out the worst in some people. It's related in some ways to road rage, I believe.

Oh I've seen "The Hostage" with him, and have to say he wasn't as brilliant as he could be. Well, still have to watch some other works with Jimmy starring =)

Yes, like many young actors Dylan started off as a model, and a particularly eyecatching one at that.
