The best and worse child actors (movies and/or TV)

One kid I don’t know much about is a girl on the Sprout Channel. Her name is “Bean”, and she has blue hair. I’m guessimg that she’s maybe 10, but I really don’t have a clue. It’s not her acting that amazes me… She really doesn’t act so much as she rattles off lines perfectly. Never a misstep, like a miniature female version of Ryan Seacrest.

She never pauses, never slips up, stutters, or pauses in any of her blazing fast, almost machine-like delivery. I am truly amazed by her. (and Ryan Seacrest, for that matter)

He’s so adorable in that. Cute without being overly precious.

Best and worst from The Bad News Bears in this scene: Tanner Boyle (Chris Barnes) and Timmy Lupus (Quinn Smith).

I thought that Noley Thornton was adorable. I remember she was in a Heidi movie and also appeared on Star Trek TNG.

Just thought of another: Madeline Carroll is a good young actress. She’s been in several things, but I know her mostly from Swing Vote with Kevin Costner, and Flipped, a sweet coming-of-age movie from Rob Reiner a couple of years ago.

Danny Lloyd (Danny Torrance in The Shining (original film)). Excellent performance.
