Page "Jared Leto" Paragraph 9

After the critical success of Requiem for a Dream, Leto's next role was as the lead character in 2002's Highway.

Set in 1994, Leto is caught with a gangster's wife and flee to Seattle with his best friend Jake Gyllenhaal in the week preceding Kurt Cobain's suicide.

He was nominated for a Video Premiere Award for his performance.

In 2002, Leto worked again with director David Fincher in Panic Room, playing a villain who terrorizes Jodie Foster.

The film grossed over $ 30 million in its opening weekend in the United States, the best performance of a film Leto has appeared in to date.

He was also in Phone Booth, playing an actor in a theater production of Drockula.

He and Colin Farrell's character have a quick scene in an alley.

The scene was deleted from the film, but restored when the film was aired on television.
