Not so much who’s likely to still be regularly working - but who would you want to be? ---

Both **Dakota** and **Elle Fanning**. **Natalie Portman**. **Elijah Wood**. **Zachary Levi**. I was going to say **Jorge Garcia** , but he’s just past the limit at 38. Still, I hope he isn’t headed for an early grave or an empty future. ---

> [@drastic\_quench](#): > > Not so much who’s likely to still be regularly working - but who would you want to be? Chloë Grace Moretz: is it even possible she’ll still be this ahead of the game in decades to come? Probably not. But I can’t help being curious. ---

None of them–that would require my living another 30 years. ---

I am sure I have others but I am going to throw a name out there that may be controversial because a lot of people don’t seem to like him: Shia LaBeouf. He’s picked a bunch of bad movies at times (coughTransformerscough) but he has a very natural acting style. I think he is a good actor and will probably only get better. ---

John Krasinski - He could be on TV forever, but if he continued to improve, there’s no reason he couldn’t be a leading man on the big screen. I can see him stepping into the likable everyman roles Tom Hanks has been cast in for the last 25 years. ---

Oh man, I came in to list JGL, so instead I’ll add Emma Stone. Love her so far in everything I’ve seen her in. ---

Also, [Rosario Dawson](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0206257/) should be getting better parts. ---

> [@Spoke](#): > > Also, [Rosario Dawson](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0206257/) should be getting better parts. I think her parts are just fine, thank you, and they would be sullied if she tried to make them better. 😛
