Forbes has named their top ten actors to watch for in 2012! Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth are all included.

Liam Hemsworth

Hollywood is hot for a new young-adult franchise hit and The Hunger Games is poised to fill that role. Hemsworth, who right now is probably best known as Miley Cyrus’ boyfriend, has a chance to become a big star as Gale in the upcoming series.

Josh Hutcherson

Like Hemsworth, Hutchinson could break big in The Hunger Games. He has a big role as Peeta, Katniss’ partner in the murderous game at the center of the story.

Jennifer Lawrence

Of the three main actors in the upcomingHunger Games movie, Lawrence has the most to win … or lose. The film will only work for fans if Lawrence can achieve the balance of toughness and caring present in her character, Katniss.
