Kat Graham
For someone who got her big break on The CW's The Vampire Diaries, Kat is pretty skeptical of the vampires-are-so-hot-now thing. "I just think, When were they not?" she says. "What about Dracula and Buffy?" If fangs ever do fall out of favor, she's set. Born in Switzerland but raised in L.A., the 22-year-old is a triple threat: She's a former backup dancer and an accomplished singer who released a single ("Sassy") last year and has toured with the Black Eyed Peas. Kat—who speaks four languages—plans to continue to broaden her repertoire. "As a black girl in Hollywood, I want to break barriers," she says. "To do everything from a Tyler Perry film to a Sucker Punch." —AMANDA FITZSIMONS
