Thomas Dekker

With a list of credits that rivaled most actors of such a young age, Thomas Dekker managed to weather the storm of transition from child actor to adult. Though known mostly to fans as Zach on the cult hit "Heroes" (NBC, 2006-10), Dekker's career began at the age of five. An accomplished and talented musician as well as actor, Dekker won four Young Artist Awards for his film and television work. Starring as John Connor on FOX's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" (2008-09), Dekker quickly became a rising star, due in no small part to the cult audience who embraced the fabled "Terminator" story.
