Biography

Josh Hartnett is an American actor who broke through on television before becoming a teen idol in late-1990s films. Born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, he began his career on the ABC drama series Cracker, then starred in Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998) and The Faculty (1998), followed by The Virgin Suicides (1999) and, in 2001, Pearl Harbor, O and Black Hawk Down. He worked steadily through the 2000s in Hollywood Homicide (2003), Wicker Park (2004), Lucky Number Slevin (2006), The Black Dahlia (2006) and 30 Days of Night (2007), and played Ethan Chandler on the Showtime series Penny Dreadful from 2014 to 2016. His later career brought a resurgence, with Ernest Lawrence in Oppenheimer (2023) and a serial killer in Trap (2024), plus appearances in Black Mirror and The Bear.
