Favourite performances from a Child

[Laice07]

Most child actors, stink. Not its there fault, but they just don't have enough experience in the business. But there are exceptions.

In no order:

-Keisha Castle Hughes (Whale Rider)

-Haley Joel Osment(6th Sense, Secondhand Lions)

-Kenny Highmore(Finding Neverland)

-Edward Furlong (Terminator 2: Judgement Day)

-Dakota Fanning (I am Sam)

-The kids from Terms of Endearment(forgot their names)

-Drew Barrymore(E.T)

-Henry Thomas(E.T)

-Linda Blair (Exorcist)

-Macauly Culkin and Elijah Wood (The good Son)

-Leonardo Dicaprio (This Boy's Life, Whats Eating Gilbert Grape)

-River Phoenix(Stand by Me)

-Carrie Henn in Aliens

-Natalie Portman(The Proffesional)

EDIT: How I forgot about Portman and Hughes is insane, they're on here now.

So who are your favourites?

Nobody comes close to Keisha Castle Hughes in "Whale Rider", although Natalie Portman in "The Professional" gets an honorable mention.
