Asher Angel

Asher Angel is interesting to me because he's a child actor who actually navigated the transition that breaks so many of his peers. Starting at six in Jolene opposite Jessica Chastain is a serious early credit, but it was Andi Mack on Disney Channel that built his audience, and then Billy Batson in Shazam! that put him in front of a much wider crowd. Playing the kid who becomes a superhero across two films, in 2019 and 2023, kept him relevant during the awkward years when many young actors disappear. Born in 2002 in Phoenix, he's still young enough that the most interesting chapters of his career may not be written yet.
