Josh Hutcherson: 'Hunger' Heartthrob

Child star Josh Hutcherson, who held his own in family fare like The Polar Express and Bridge to Terabethia, showed off some more grown-up chops in 2010's lauded indie The Kids Are All Right. But his career-making turn comes this March with the rabidly anticipated adaptation of Suzanne Collins' teen smash The Hunger Games, in which the 19-year-old plays literary heartthrob Peeta Mellark. But that’s not all: rounding out his breakout year are two other films -- February’s Journey 2: The Mysterious Island and November’s Red Dawn.
