Beyond film
Stahl's 1996 role was Puck, in Benjamin Britten's opera A Midsummer Night's Dream, which was staged at The Metropolitan Opera in New York.
A role that slipped away
In Terminator Salvation, the part of John Connor went to Christian Bale rather than Stahl, who did not return to play that character again.
Big break
Mel Gibson directed and co-starred in The Man Without a Face, a 1993 film that helped boost Stahl's career when he was 13.
