Emile Hirsch
He is quite good at finding quality projects in which to demonstrate his unusual interpretive level. Emile Hirsch’s career is going from strength to strength, like a raging hurricane.
Born on March 13, 1985 in Topanga (California), Emile Davenport Hirsch began as a television actor at the age of 8, when he made TV movies such as Gargantua or Houdini , where he was the famous escapist as a child. He then became a regular presence in series like Sabrina, the things of witches , NYPD Blue and even had a character in two episodes of ER .
He made his film debut alongside Jodie Foster , as the protagonist of The Dangerous Lives of the Altar Boys , where he was Francis Doyle, a teenager who draws a comic that turns his adventures in a Catholic school into superhero adventures. He then was one of Kevin Kline ‘s students in The Emperors Club .
Except for the fact that he took part in the teen comedy The Neighbor Next Door , which had a certain impact, Emile Hirsch has taken great care from the beginning when it comes to choosing films of interest. He appeared in the dysfunctional family drama Imaginary Heroes , was a surfer in Lords of Dogtown – based on a true story – and played a transcript of ill-fated drug dealer Jesse James Hollywood in Alpha Dog . During filming he fell in love with his co-star Amanda Seyfried , with whom he had been dating for a while.
Emile Hirsch stood out thanks to Sean Penn , who directed him in the remarkable Into the Wild , a recreation of the authentic journey of Christopher McCandless, a young man who travels alone to Mount McKinley, in Alaska, in search of meaning for his existence. He went on to lose nearly 45 pounds for the role. Right after, he repeated with Penn, although this time the latter played the lead in My Name is Harvey Milk , while Hirsch was the gay rights activist Cleve Jones.
Emile Hirsch became a racing driver in the blockbuster Speed Racer , an adaptation of the Japanese animated series Meteoro filmed by the Wachowski brothers, which did not have the expected impact. He also took orders from Ang Lee who made him a soldier just back from Vietnam in Destination: Woodstock .
Aware of his enormous interpretative capacity, lately his directorial services of diverse fur are being disputed. He has shot Killer Joe , with veteran William Friedkin , and Chris Gorak ‘s The Darkest Hour . He has also signed the prestigious Oliver Stone for Savages .
