Abigail Breslin as Valentine Wiggin

Abigail Kathleen Breslin was born on April 14, 1996 in New York City.  She started her acting career when she was three years old in a Toys 'R Us commercial.  Abigail has gone on to star in Little Miss Sunshine, Nim's Island, and My Sister's Keeper.  Even from a young age, the adults that she worked with on set couldn't believe her level of purpose during filming. Abigail has also voiced a role in Rango and was nominated for a Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a Voice-Over Role Young Actress.

Her next big film about to hit the big screen is Ender's Game, in which she plays Valentine Wiggin, the gentle sister of the main character, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin.  Valentine acts mostly as the one thing preventing Ender from completely letting go of his past when he moves on to the Battle School.  She had always been his favorite sibling (compared to Peter, that's not surprising) and they had always cared deeply for each other.  But while Ender is away, Valentine becomes closer to Peter in a way that she never thought possible.

I am curious to see how Abigail Breslin tackles this role.  She has to be sweet and gentle, but firm enough to steer Peter in the other direction when he goes on one of his rants.  I hope she won't go too far in the passive direction, because Valentine is a strong person who has to make some hard decisions.  But, she can't go too far in the other direction either.  She was rejected by the Battle School for being too compassionate. However, there is more to her than what meets the eye.
