10 Movie Stars Who Are The Most In Demand Actors In Hollywood

Finding an actor who only seeks to get the job done is easy. Finding one dedicated to the job and can help a movie company raise lots of money and earn a good reputation is not. Becoming a superstar in Hollywood is no mean feat. Even established actors face difficulty going for this superstar status.
But that is not to say there are no actors in high demand. A select few have proved themselves a worthy nomination, such as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in both Jumanji movies, San Andreas (2015), and the Fast and Furious franchise to name a few. The Most In Demand Actors can be found here.
For this list, we look at 10 Hollywood actors who have seen a spike in demand. For clarification purposes, this list will include actors who can both act and do voice acting.
