There are 2 actors I think are poised to break out and have Oscar worthy performances. One is James Franco and the other is Mos Def. Both have an undeniable charisma and seem to take their craft very seriously. I remember reading a Franco interview where he was cast in Freaks and Geeks and how he prepared for the role. He traveled across country to the writers old high school and spent a couple of days there. The weird thing is none of this was known or even suggested by the writer. Right now he's doing soap operas on "General Hospital". Why? No one knows for certain. There's a rumor its for some film project but he claims its just for the experience. Supposedly someone said soap-operas are really hard to do and he decided to try it... Oh and his character is named Franco.. real original.
As for Mos Def he is just an awesome character actor. If given the right role I feel he will impress a LOT of people. I get a Jamie Foxx vibe from him and he just needs that "Ray" role to really break out. I would invest in either one of these guys.
