Jodelle Ferland
Jodelle Ferland was only 12 years old when she landed the role of Alessa, the vengeful, isolated spirit in "Silent Hill" (2006), and her uncanny maturity and sparkling intelligence helped make the video game adaptation a surprise success. Though she was a new face for American audiences, Ferland was already a seasoned actress, having worked in her native Canada since she was just 2. With other roles in such high-profile projects as the blockbuster "Twilight" series, Terry Gilliam's oddball fantasy "Tideland" (2004) and the clever stop-motion spookfest "ParaNorman" (2012), Ferland established herself as a keenly talented actress and a horror genre mainstay.
