Andrew Garfield
The Social Network star is something of a prodigal son. He was born in LaLaLand but brought up in England. Now he's back and kicking showbiz butt, landing the role of Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man. Welcome home, indeed!
As royal wedding fever heats up, keep clicking to see the latest batch of Brits invading U.S. pop culture.
Emilia Clarke
You may not recognize her yet but it won't be long. The English actress stars in HBO's new series, Game of Thrones, debuting April 17. Described as the Sopranos gone medieval, the show and its stars are earning major buzz. Capice?
Henry Cavill
Proving you don't have to come from Krypton (or Smallville) to be one of America's leading superheroes, Cavill beat out the competition to land the title role in Superman: Man of Steel. It's the best possible consolation prize for the 27-year-old actor who lost the role of Twilight's Edward Cullen because he was deemed too old.
Jessie J
Having fun is universal. Just ask Jessie, who co-wrote Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A." Now, she's released her own album, Who You Are, and recently made her TV debut on Saturday Night Live. Up next? She's reportedly in talks to write a musical.
Jamie Bell
Jamie got his first big break at 14 in the movie Billy Elliott. He's played a lot of supporting characters since then but will get another shot at marquee billing later this year as the lead in Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn. Not too shabby.
Rosie Huntington-Whitley
She's the Victoria's Secret model plucked to replace Megan Fox as Shia LaBeouf's love interest in the upcoming Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Can she act? That's not really the point now is it?
Adele
Technically, it's the singer's second tour of duty in the U.S. But Adele's making such a big splash here with her sophomore album, 21, that even Britney Spears has suggested a cross-continental collaboration with Adele, Rihanna and Lady Gaga. To which we say, bring it!
Florence Welch
Red carpet watchers couldn't turn on the TV this season without seeing Florence and her frilly, floral English style popping up at everything from the Grammys to the Oscars. Then there are her chart-topping singles, which have played on Glee and the trailer for Eat, Pray, Love and earned Florence and the Machine a Best New Artist Grammy nomination this year. We can't wait to see what she does next.
Alex Pettyfer
His movies, Beastly and I Am Number Four, haven't exactly killed at the box office. And then there was the breakup with his girlfriend and Glee star Dianna Agron. But we're not counting this British hottie out just yet.
