When people finish watching movies or television shows, they go on about how good the storyline was, how they loved the acting, and wonder who in the world that actor was that was playing in the movie/show. I wonder this, too, and take my curiosity a few steps deeper and search IMBD and Google for information on those oh-so-interesting stars and their acting pasts. Here are three actors/actresses you might or might not have heard of.

     I’ll admit it, I’m a Degrassi fan, and I have been for years. I was always a JT lover, but… then he died. After JT, a new character emerged, the secret, mysterious Eli Goldsworthy. I automatically fell in love with not only Eli, but his real-life persona, Munro Chambers. Munro has played in multiple TV movies and series, such as Murder in the Hamptons, The Latest Buzz, and A Wrinkle in Time. I honestly haven’t seen any of his other work, but I really want to because his work in Degrassi is exceptional.

     January brought with it the premiere of a cheaply produced, intriguing show, House of Anubis on Nickelodeon. The acting in the show wasn’t the best, but the show was pretty good. My favorite character was Fabian, played by Brad Kavanagh. I’m definitely not saying watch this dude on shows or movies, because he’s a crummy actor (he played on the Disney Channel UK’s version of As the Bell Rings, one of the corniest mini-shows in history for Christ’s sake). I’m actually telling you to listen to him sing. And watch House of Anubis because that show is awesome. But, anyways, Brad Kavanagh is an amazing singer, and I was floored when I heard him sing. This unknown actor might not get famous for his down-right awful acting.

     Who knows who Ashley Benson is? That’s what I thought. She’s the girl who plays Hanna in Pretty Little Liars. Does that ring a bell now? I’d hope so. In my opinion, Ashley is an amazing actress. She has stared in the movie Bring it On: In it to Win it as the lead role, Carson, and in a personal favorite, Lifetime’s movie Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal. I didn’t realize this was the same girl until after I checked on IMDB, but now I can honestly say I’ve been a fan for quite a few years, and I recommend watching anything she stars in.

     So these possibly known actors/actresses shouldn’t be hiding under the radar any longer, or at least I hope not, so go and check out their work and become fans. I’m sure they’d love it.
