Hannah Marks not only stars in Banana Split, but she co-wrote the film alongside Joey Power, with whom she wrote After Everything. Per Marks, Banana Split is inspired by her own teenage heartbreak.
However, before she became the next filmmaker to watch, Marks was a child star born and raised in Los Angeles, Calif. You may recognize the 27-year-old actress from her work in Accepted, Weeds, The Amazing Spider-Man, Necessary Roughness and more.
She's likely best known for her role as Amanda Brotzman in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Her next project, Mark, Mary & Some Other People, will feature Ben Rosenfield, Hayley Law and Gillian Jacobs.
If you think you've seen Liana Liberato before, trust your gut! According to Liberato's bio on IMDB, she has been working professionally since she was 9-years-old.

From there, Liberato went on to star in notable films, including If I Stay, The Best of Me, Novitiate, To the Bone and more. She also starred in the Hulu thriller Light as a Feather.
Ok, ok. Dylan Sprouse may not be an up-and-comer per say, but Banana Split does mark one of his bigger projects since his return to acting in 2017.
Sprouse, alongside twin brother Cole Sprouse, rose to fame in his childhood for his roles in Big Daddy, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, The Suite Life on Deck and more.
Sprouse took a brief step back from the limelight to focus on his studies at New York University. He'll appear next in the After sequel, titled After We Collided.

She's since starred in A Girl Named Jo.
