I’ve been most starstruck
by “I met Kenan Thompson
at upfronts and he was very
kind. I’ve been watching him
on SNL my whole life.”MAXWELL JENKINS 14
Known for
Lost in SpaceNo one is as uniquely pre-
pared for juggling Hollywood
and high school as Jenkins,
who started performing in
his family’s Chicago circus
at the age of 3, and next
stars in 2020’s Good Joe Bell
alongside Connie Britton and
Mark Wahlberg. The Lost
in Space star was inspired
to act by E.T. — and worked
with the film’s star Henry
Thomas on ABC’s Betrayal
— but he’s torn when asked
if he’d want to play Elliott in
a reboot. “They should never
do that because you should
never remake E.T., but if they
did I would definitely be
very interested.”
How I spent my first
acting paycheck “I save all
my paychecks for college.
Except I bought one thing,
a new guitar. It’s a Gretsch
and I named her Jupiter.”NOAH JUPE 14
Known for
A Quiet PlaceAfter parts in Suburbicon
and Wonder, Jupe had his
breakout as John Krasinski
and Emily Blunt’s onscreen
son in A Quiet Place. The
London-born actor reprises
his role in the upcoming
sequel — but first he’ll
appear as a young Shia
LaBeouf in Honey Boy and
opposite heavyweights
Matt Damon and Christian
Bale in Ford v Ferrari, both
slated for November. He’s
also starring on HBO’s new
David E. Kelley series, The
Undoing, alongside Nicole
Kidman and Hugh Grant.
Best acting advice I’ve
been given “ ‘Arrive late
and leave early.’ I tried that
on set, but it didn’t go well.”suit) took to prank-calling

She’ll star opposite Angelina
Jolie in The One and Only
Ivan, voice Young Velma in
Scoob and don her dancing
shoes for Jon Chu’s adap-
tation of the Lin-Manuel
Miranda musical In the
Heights: “My whole mom’s
side is Puerto Rican,” she
says, “so it was really great
to embrace that culture.”

GRIFFIN DAVIS 12
Known for Jojo RabbitThe London-born Griffin
Davis has only one role under
his belt, but it’s a big one
as the lead in Taika Waititi’s
satire Jojo Rabbit. Palling
around with his imaginary
friend Hitler (Waititi), Griffin
Davis is in every scene of the
Nazi Germany-set film and
beat out many child stars in
an extensive casting search
for the Fox Searchlight proj-
ect, premiering in September
at the Toronto Film Festival.
My advice for adults
“Stop arguing, because we
can hear you.”ARICA HIMMEL 14
Known for Mixed-ish“I just love the thrill of being
someone else,” says the NYC
native, who got hooked on
acting while performing off-
Broadway at 11. Now, she’s
starring as young Rainbow
Johnson on Black-ish spinoff
Mixed-ish, which premieres
Sept. 24 on ABC. After learn-
ing she had the role, Himmel
met with Tracee Ellis Ross,
who plays the character on
Black-ish, and rewatched
episodes of the series. “They
discuss issues that need to
be discussed, even though itcharacters. At 12 she was sitting in on casting
sessions. Little earned $48.7 million at the
global box office (on a $20 million budget),
and Martin has set up two other projects as
a producer — Amari and the Night Brothers
and StepMonster.
So how can you produce when you can’t
legally drive a car? The answer: There are
adults in the room. Martin’s company, Genius
Productions, is run with her parents, Joshua
and Carol, whereas Brown will be produc-
ing Enola Holmes with older sister Paige.
“Collectively, as a family, [the Martins] have
realized that the future is forging your own
path and controlling the type of projects you
want,” notes Lopez. “They aren’t just waiting
for the phone to ring for another acting job.”
