Alien: Romulus is one of the biggest box office hits in the theaters right now, and its cast includes some of Hollywood’s brightest young stars. We can’t wait to see what they do next, and here’s what they’ve been up to in school before finding success in Hollywood.
Cailee Spaeny
Cailee Spaeny never felt at home during her time in school, but she found her footing at the Springfield Little Theatre. She used to take dance classes, vocal lessons, and acting classes six days a week before officially kicking off her Hollywood career during the late 2010s.
David Jonsson
Industry star David Jonsson used to get in trouble in school, but he found his path once he decided to become an actor. He won a scholarship to study at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and started pursuing acting full-time following graduation in 2016.
Archie Renaux
Shadow and Bone star Archie Renaux attended Richard Challoner School and later studied acting at The Unseen Drama School in London. He didn’t see acting as a viable career option, so he spent some time working as an air conditioning engineer but eventually decided to pursue his true passion.
Isabela Merced
Isabela Merced has been acting from a young age, and she skipped several grades in her youth. She was accepted into college at 15 and attended the Fairmount Performing Arts Conservatory before moving to New York to pursue acting full-time.
