Emma Watson, Evan Rachel Wood and Lindsay Lohan.

Absolutely. Watson, the blindingly brilliant and beautiful Hermione Granger of the "Harry Potter" movies looks to be as prodigiously talented as Kate Winslet. Wood, right now on screen in "Across the Universe" (see two posts down) and "King of California" is likewise talented. And as I also posted recently, Lohan possesses enviable gifts. I sincerely hope her extracurricular behavior will not sabotage her career.

How'd they leave out Scarlett Johansoon? Some of the pics suck, too. That's Keira Knightley? Awful pic of Evan Rachel Wood, too. Don't know about TV generating all that many screen gems - Jennifer Aniston is almost invisible on film. Watching for her in "She's The One", it took me most of an hour to realize she was even in the film because Cameron Diaz so owned the screen. Tee vee people often can't bring it for movies.

I know this is a digression, but I disagree with JDM about Jennifer Aniston. She was terrific in THE GOOD GIRL.

There is a young actress who resembls Sara Paxton who appeared on one of the Law and Order shows who knocked me out. I have been trying to catch a rerun of the episode so I could go through the cast list and figure out her identity but I haven't come across the episode again.

This highlights a major complaint I have about TV credits...those movie style credits at the beginning of shows that simply list guest stars names but don't connect them with their characters are extrememly frustrating. I'm sure that many people would have more names in response to your question but,like me, just don;t know who they are. This seems incredibly dumb on the part of producers. There might be actors we'd follow to spinoffs and movies if we knew that they played some of our favorite supporting or guest characters on TV.

But I'd have to add the Fanning sisters and Tyler James Williams to your list. Poor Pablo Santos seemed destined for greta things. Joseph Gordon-Levit just misses your age cut but I think he is definitely oe to watch. He's maybe the best young actor to come out of TV since Giovanni Ribisi. Jeremy Suarez may become the most under-appreciated and under-used TV talent since the excellent physical comedy skills and timing of Jaleel White were wasted in the service of the awful scripts of "Family Matters".

Though the jury's still out, I think Hayden Panatierre shows great potential. And what ever happened to Frankie Muniz, who showed so much promise early on?

Vanessa Hudgens.
She needs to be evaluated justly.

Jena Malone. Definitely. Scarily smart, wise with her movie choices, subtle. The next Jodie Foster.

Thomas Sangster, from Love Actually and Nanny McPhee. An amazing face, which conveys emotions subtly and perfectly.

Keke Palmer (Akeelah and the Bee). She's intelligent and really connects with her characters' emotions. And she can sing beautifully, which I didn't know till I watched the DVD extras.

Mark Indelicato (Justin Suarez on Ugly Betty). Funny and just over-the-top enough for Ugly Betty, but he can dial it down a bit too. Fun to watch at the Tonys.

Nikki Blonsky from Hairspray, and maybe also Taylor Parks from Hairspray (little Inez). And I agree with Elijah Kelley as well.

Daniel Radcliffe. He can do more than Harry Potter (see him in David Copperfield, pre-Potter) and he's got quite a range.

I agree with earlier mentions of Emma Watson, Evan Rachel Wood, Tyler James Williams, and Lindsay Lohan if she can get herself together and get enough help that she can use her extraordinary talent.

I was going to put Kristen Bell, but she's two years over your cut-off.

Shoot, Carrie. I was all set to nominate the sublime Zooey Deschanel, but she's 27. Otherwise, Moviefone's list is just about perfect.

Just last night, I saw a movie called "Dreamland" on Lifetime. It looked like a theatrical release, but I don't know anything about the movie's history. I mention it here because the lead actress, Agnes Bruckner, really impressed me. A remarkably alive face, very intelligent and with the too-rare ability to convey simultaneous conflicting emotions. Also, a heartening willingness to look less than perfect, both in behavior and appearance. She never seemed to be pleading for the audience to like her, which was refreshing, nor did she ever seem to apologize for being smart or (occasionally) difficult.

Now these are all traits that Hollywood has a genius for stamping out as fast as possible, but if she gets lucky with directors, and maintains some level of protective orneriness, she struck me as an under-25 (she's 22, according to IMDb) who might do some really memorable work. If nothing else, I now very much want to see "Blue Car," a movie she made with David Straithairn from a few years back that I've almost watched a few times on cable.
