While a major handful of our home grown talent are finding success on both sides of the pond that trend looks set to continue as a string of actors, actresses and directors are already making a name for themselves.
Hollywood, the home of cinema, was awash with billboard adverts for the big blockbusters of the summer earlier this year with the likes of Robert Downey Jr, Will Smith and Christian Bale all promoting their movies.
But amongst them was fresh faced Brit Ben Barnes who has made a real name for himself this summer as Prince Caspian in the second instalment of the Chronicles of Narnia franchise.
Director of Narnia Andrew Adamson had searched for over a year for the right actor to play Caspian and just one month after seeing Barnes in an audition he was in New Zealand getting to grips with swordsplay and horse riding.
Poster-boy for the film Prince Caspian toppled Ironman to top the US box office and has grossed over $417 million at the global box office, making it one of the most successful films of the summer.
With two films, Bigga Than Ben and Easy Virtue, due for release in the next few weeks and The Picture of Doran Grey and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader more success seems to be on the horizon for Barnes.
Despite starting her career in 2005 Hayley Atwell 's career kicked into life earlier this year when she landed a role in Woody Allen's Cassandra's Dream alongside Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor.
