October 13, 2009, 7:45 AM–Our friends with the Movie-Fanatic website have always been very fond of Rupert Grint and supportive of his career, thus it is no surprise to see Rupert featured on their list of Ten Most Underrated Young Actors. Here’s what Jed Medina with tMF had to say:

Playing one of the main characters in the Harry Potter series gave Rupert Grint the kind of world-wide recognition reserved to a chosen few. He is definitely not your usual boy-next-door young star who prefers to play traditional roles given to teens in Hollywood. [...]

His goal to polish his craft by exploring other characters beside Ron Weasley appears to be making headways. He made Driving Lessons in 2006 and this year – two feature films Cherrybomb and Wild Target – will further allow the young actor to prove he has what it takes to suceed in the movie business.

September 13th, 2009, 10:25 PM–While Rupert Grint is busy filming the final installment of the Harry Potter franchise, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the film website   The Movie-Fanatic, took the time to updated the results for their Top 50 Hottest Young Actors poll today. At the present, Rupert ranks number 31 on the poll, and according to the website, stands a good chance at moving up the polls (of course, he will.)

Here’s an excerpt from the update:

Rupert Grint: (current rank: #31) Among Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Grint, I would have to say, Grint appears to me to be the most serious in becoming a truly talented actor. Aside from Harry Potter, Grint played leading roles in two features – Cherrybomb and Wild Target. Grint is apparently attempting to come up with interesting roles, which started in the coming-of-age movie, Driving Lessons where he was terrific playing opposite Julie Walters and Laura Linney.

You can head on over and give your input as to what you think, here!
