One the rise for 2012: Domhnall Gleeson and others (INDIEWIRE)

It's hard to know who qualifies for a list like this, but we wanted to lean towards new faces, rather than picking out names you've likely been hearing a lot about recently. Guys like Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling, Tom Hardy, Benjamin Walker (the star of this year's "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter") and Joel Kinnaman (who will be the new "RoboCop") all have parts in big movies on the way, and will form the next wave of stars for sure, but these actors are right behind them. Have a look below, let us know who you think you could break out soon, and stay tuned for our look at the actresses tomorrow. So, in alphabetical order...
