ACTORS STARS OF TOMORROW
that with a year-long acting class before nabbing a prime role opposite Paddy Considine in Shan Khan’s contemporary thriller Honour. Shot on the Isle of Man and in Lon-
don from a screenplay that was on the Brit List of best unproduced screen- plays, Honour sees Hart in the juicy part of a girl on the run, in fear of her life from an honour killing. “I had just graduated and this was
my first role. I could hardly believe it,” she says. “I am very new to all this. All I can hope is that it keeps going this well.” Contact Kate Bryden, Gordon and French

GEORGE MACKAY Just 21, George MacKay has been grac- ing screens for over a decade, ever since a casting director spotted him as a 10-year-old on a visit to his London school. The result was a part in PJ Hog- an’s Peter Pan, eight months in Aus- tralia, and the beginnings of a passion. “As I learned more about it, it became
more and more what I wanted to do,” says MacKay. “Now it’s impossible to think of doing anything else.” MacKay is widely regarded as a film-
star-in-waiting. “He’s just so talented,” says one casting director. “It’s not a question of ‘if ’, but ‘when’.” His parts have been growing in stat-
ure as well. MacKay has been cast oppo- site Saoirse Ronan and fellow Star of Tomorrow Tom Holland in Kevin Mac- donald’s How I Live Now, and has shot the lead in indie project Private Peaceful for director Pat O’Connor with Richard Griffiths and Frances de la Tour. He is also set to appear in the TV
film Best Of Men, about the founding of the Paralympics, and in the low-budget film Breakfast With Jonny Wilkinson, based on a play at the Menier Chocolate Factory. “I just want to work consistently and try as many things as I can,” he says.
