Michael Fassbender
Age: 34
Occupation: Actor
Previous TIME 100 appearances: 0
He broke out of a very crowded field to steal the show in Quentin Tarantino's 2009 film Inglourious Basterds. But in 2011, Irish actor Fassbender will both achieve heartthrob status and play against type: he can be currently seen in theaters as Mr. Rochester in the latest version of Jane Eyre, and will hit screens later this year as a young Magneto in X-Men: First Class and as Carl Jung in David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method.
