Strange...I never heard of any of them until I heard about them being cast in Star Wars.
Seems to me that there are far better actors among their contemporaries...
darn, I was hoping IMDB had some kind of age-based search.

I knew who Ewan McGregor was before, and I've seen one or two movies with him on it before I've seen episode 1. I knew who Natalie Portman was. I don't remember knowing who Hayden was before episode 2. But that dosen't mean they are good or bad actors. McGregor is a good actor, real good, one of the best around nowadays. Natalie Portman is ok. Hayden Christiensen looks like a mediocre actor... The fact that you didn't know about them dosen't mean they are bad actors. The best actors around are mostly unknown.
