Britt Robertson: Girl of the Moment

Britt Robertson is only 25 years old, but her stellar résumé suggests otherwise. In 2010, she landed her first lead role in the TV series Life Unexpected. A year later, she starred in another series, The Secret Circle. Then came supporting roles in Under the Dome and Cake; the lead in the new Nicholas Sparks adaptation, The Longest Ride; and, come May 22, she’s starring alongside arguably the most famous male actor in Hollywood—yes, George Clooney—in Disney’s new film, Tomorrowland. Although she’s a seasoned actress with looks to boot, April Webster and Alyssa Weisberg, casting directors for Tomorrowland, say it’s the North Carolina native’s down-to-earth attitude that gives her star power. “She has a little bit of that tomboy quality we were looking for in this role and a strong sense of self and wonder,” says Weisberg. “And she has a great sense of humor,” adds Webster. “She brings a sense of joy when she’s on set.”
