Known for his comedic genius, our favorite part of “Community” on NBC, but he’s also our favorite actor turned rapper (Childish Gambino). Plus, he’s so handsome! And we spotted him in “Magic Mike XXL!” More please!

She most recently opened up about her battle with depression, but this woman is more than her circumstances. She’s an awesome actress and we loved her in “Love Jones” as the beautiful sidekick, but we think she deserves more!

He’s most widely known from “The Wire,” but he’s also played poignant roles in “The Secret Life Of The Bees” and “Red Tails.” Even thought he’s pursuing his music career, we need to see him act a lot more.

He’s a child actor turned handsome hunk and it’s even more apparent in “Chocolate City” where he gyrates his abs and we’re gasping for breath! Give us more of these green eyes, please!

She’s a rising star from “Game Of Thrones,” but in case you haven’t seen the cult classic, then you don’t even know Nathalie! But you should. The whole world should!

14. Nate Parker

He’s like the new Denzel, but doesn’t show up on the big screen nearly enough. We loved him in “The Great Debaters” and adored him in “Beyond The Lights.” We just want more!

15. Amandla Stenberg

You loved her in “The Hunger Games,” but you fell in love with her when she made a YouTube video about cultural appropriation and effectively dropped the mic! Can we see more of her!?
