6. Dylan Minnette
This past year, IMDb fans saw a couple of notable child stars transition into more mature on-screen roles. And arguably most notable among them is Dylan Minnette, who found himself at the center of one of TV's most talked about series of the year. Having appeared in smaller roles on shows like "Lost" and "Scandal," Minnette played Clay Jensen in "13 Reasons Why." The character and his storyline drew strong reviews from fans and critics, in addition to marked criticism from educators and health officials over the show's dark and heavy content. Nevertheless, the Netflix series was a breakout hit among IMDb fans, who helped make Minnette No. 1 on STARmeter this past spring.
