He cofounded and led the popular\nalternative rock\nband\n30 Seconds to Mars.\nEarly life and career\nMy So-Called Life\nClaire Danes and Jared Leto in the television show\nMy So-Called Life\n(1994–95).\nLeto’s parents divorced shortly after he was born, and he was raised by his mother, who traveled around the country and\ninculcated\nin her children an appreciation for the arts. Leto studied painting at the University of the Arts in\nPhiladelphia\nand filmmaking at the School of Visual Arts in\nNew York City\nbefore moving (1992) to\nLos Angeles\n. He almost immediately began taking guest parts on television shows, including\nCamp Wilder\n(1992–93). Leto’s breakthrough came when he was cast as the slacker heartthrob Jordan Catalano in the critical and later cult favorite series\nMy So-Called Life\n(1994–95), which also starred\nClaire Danes\n.\nLeto made his big-screen debut in a small part in\nHow to Make an American Quilt\n(1995) and then starred as an Irish teenager in the coming-of-age\nmovie\nThe Last of the High Kings\n(1996; American title\nSummer Fling\n). He played the title character in the well-received biopic\nPrefontaine\n(1997), about the American distance runner\nSteve Prefontaine\n, as well as in the period romance\nBasil\n(1998), which he followed up with the slasher movie\nUrban Legend\n(1998). He also appeared in\nTerrence Malick\n’s star-packed war\ndrama\nThe Thin Red Line\n(1998). Leto played club regular Angel Face in the\ncult\nclassic\nFight Club\n(1999) and had major roles in\nGirl, Interrupted\n(1999) and\nAmerican Psycho\n(2000).\nBritannica Quiz\nOscar-Worthy Movie Trivia\nRequiem for a Dream\nand other roles from the 2000s\nWith his acclaimed performance as a heroin addict in\nDarren Aronofsky’s\nRequiem for a Dream\n(2000), Leto gained a reputation for going to exceptional lengths in order to prepare for a role. He lost some 25 pounds (11 kg) and reportedly lived on the streets with junkies in preparation for the film. Leto appeared in the thrillers\nPanic Room\n(2002),\nHighway\n(2002),\nLord of War\n(2005), and\nLonely Hearts\n(2006), and then he put on 60 pounds (27 kg) for his portrayal of\nJohn Lennon\n’s killer,\nMark David Chapman\n, in the widely panned film\nChapter 27\n(2007).\nDallas Buyers Club\nand later roles\nAfter starring in the Belgian drama\nMr. Nobody\n(2009), Leto\nceased\nacting\nfor several years to focus on his\nmusic\ncareer. He returned to the big screen in 2013 with a performance as the AIDS-stricken transgender woman Rayon in\nDallas Buyers Club\n, which brought him both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best supporting actor. Leto followed that triumph with a turn as\nthe Joker\nin the critical and box-office failure\nSuicide Squad\n(2016). He then appeared in\nBlade Runner 2049\n(2017) and\nThe Outsider\n(2018). His credits from 2021 included\nThe Little Things\n, in which he portrayed a\nserial killer\n, and\nHouse of Gucci\n, a true-crime drama about a family and its luxury fashion brand. Leto later appeared in the limited TV series\nWeCrashed\n(2022), which explores the rise and fall of\nWeWork\n, a company that promoted shared office space. He then starred as a scientist who becomes a vampire in\nMorbius\n(2022), a\nhorror film\nbased on a\nMarvel Comics\ncharacter.\nQuick Facts\nIn full:\nJared Joseph Leto\nMovies\/Tv Shows (Acted In):\n\"Panic Room\" (2002)\n\"Prefontaine\" (1997)\n\"Switchback\" (1997)\n\"The Outsider\" (2018)\n\"Black and White\" (1999)\n\"How to Make an American Quilt\" (1995)\n\"The Last of the High Kings\" (1996)\n\"Blade Runner 2049\" (2017)\n\"Lonely Hearts\" (2006)\n\"Sunset Strip\" (2000)\n\"My So-Called Life\" (1994–1995)\n\"American Psycho\" (2000)\n\"Highway\" (2002)\n\"Suicide Squad\" (2016)\n\"Urban Legend\" (1998)\n\"Girl, Interrupted\" (1999)\n\"Fight Club\" (1999)\n\"Almost Home\" (1993)\n\"Rebel Highway\" (1994)\n\"Alexander\" (2004)\n\"Camp Wilder\" (1992–1993)\n\"The Thin Red Line\" (1998)\n\"Lord of War\" (2005)\n\"Chapter 27\" (2007)\n\"Dallas Buyers Club\" (2013)\n\"Mr. Nobody\" (2009)\n\"Basil\" (1998)\n\"Requiem for a Dream\" (2000)\nMovies\/Tv Shows (Directed):\n\"A Day in the Life of America\" (2019)\n\"Into the Wild\" (2014–2015)\n\"Beyond the Horizon\" (2015)\n\"Artifact\" (2012)\nMovies\/Tv Shows (Writing\/Creator):\n\"Into the Wild\" (2014–2015)\n30 Seconds to Mars\nLeto started the band 30 Seconds to\nMars\nin 1998 with his elder brother, drummer Shannon Leto.

Leto studied painting at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and filmmaking at the School of Visual Arts in New York City before moving (1992) to Los Angeles . He almost immediately began taking guest parts on television shows, including Camp Wilder (1992–93). Leto’s breakthrough came when he was cast as the slacker heartthrob Jordan Catalano in the critical and later cult favorite series My So-Called Life (1994–95), which also starred Claire Danes . Leto made his big-screen debut in a small part in How to Make an American Quilt (1995) and then starred as an Irish teenager in the coming-of-age movie The Last of the High Kings (1996; American title Summer Fling ). He played the title character in the well-received biopic Prefontaine (1997), about the American distance runner Steve Prefontaine , as well as in the period romance Basil (1998), which he followed up with the slasher movie Urban Legend (1998). He also appeared in Terrence Malick ’s star-packed war drama The Thin Red Line (1998). Leto played club regular Angel Face in the cult classic Fight Club (1999) and had major roles in Girl, Interrupted (1999) and American Psycho (2000). Britannica Quiz Oscar-Worthy Movie Trivia Requiem for a Dream and other roles from the 2000s With his acclaimed performance as a heroin addict in Darren Aronofsky’s Requiem for a Dream (2000), Leto gained a reputation for going to exceptional lengths in order to prepare for a role. He lost some 25 pounds (11 kg) and reportedly lived on the streets with junkies in preparation for the film. Leto appeared in the thrillers Panic Room (2002), Highway (2002), Lord of War (2005), and Lonely Hearts (2006), and then he put on 60 pounds (27 kg) for his portrayal of John Lennon ’s killer, Mark David Chapman , in the widely panned film Chapter 27 (2007). Dallas Buyers Club and later roles After starring in the Belgian drama Mr. Nobody (2009), Leto ceased acting for several years to focus on his music career. He returned to the big screen in 2013 with a performance as the AIDS-stricken transgender woman Rayon in Dallas Buyers Club , which brought him both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best supporting actor. Leto followed that triumph with a turn as the Joker in the critical and box-office failure Suicide Squad (2016). He then appeared in Blade Runner 2049 (2017) and The Outsider (2018). His credits from 2021 included The Little Things , in which he portrayed a serial killer , and House of Gucci , a true-crime drama about a family and its luxury fashion brand. Leto later appeared in the limited TV series WeCrashed (2022), which explores the rise and fall of WeWork , a company that promoted shared office space. He then starred as a scientist who becomes a vampire in Morbius (2022), a horror film based on a Marvel Comics character.
