Despite still being a teenager, Danika Yarosh has already been in the showbiz game for a number of years and now looks set to gain international attention starring alongside Tom Cruise in the Jack Reacher sequel.

New Jersey born Yarosh, who turns17 in October, first got a taste of the limelight as a dancer, winning a number of both regional and national competitions as a child - training which eventually led to her casting in the Broadway version of Billy Elliot: The Musical in 2010. From there she hot footed her way onto the small screen, playing the reoccurring character of Holly Herkimer in the US version of Shameless, a role which won her a nomination for Best Performance in a TV Series at the Young Artist Awards. 2016 now looks set to be her year - as well her high profile part in Jack Reacher 2, Yarosh is currently working on the eagerly anticipated TV series Heroes Reborn, a revamp of the 2006 superhero series Heroes which made a household name of Hayden Panettiere.
