Oscar Isaac is one of the most sought after actors in Hollywood right now.

Often compared to 1970s movie stars like Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, Isaac has become known in the past few years for churning out dark, brilliant performances in "Drive", "Inside Llewyn Davis", and 2014's "A Most Violent Year".

For Oscar Isaac, 2015 will be a year for the record books.

After an excellent performance in sci-fi indie "Ex Machina," he will also star in HBO miniseries "Show Me a Hero", and a little movie called "Star Wars". Plus, with a role in an "X-Men" sequel on the horizon, it looks like Oscar Isaac is truly about to become a huge movie star.

See how Oscar Isaac went from class troublemaker to future blockbuster star.
