Nick Stahl Biography: This amiable actor started as a child performer and successfully worked his teenage years to develop into an tempting young adult lead and character artist. Texas born Nick Stahl started performing on his local soil of Dallas and found projects in local television commercials and on stage. Noticed by a talent agent, Nick Stahl soon made his mainstream acting debut as Robert Urich's son in the CBS television adventure "Stranger at My Door" (1991) and went on to be seen in "Woman with a Past" (NBC, 1992) before landing his first film role when actor-director Mel Gibson cast him as a distressed young boy who agrees to be tutored by a withdrawn, disfigured former instructor in "The Man Without a Face" (1993). Although the final movie showed little resemblance to the original book, Nick Stahl earned extensive praise for his talent.
Next was the drama "Safe Passage" (1995) with Susan Sarandon, about mother with seven young sons feels like she's losing control of her life and her family. In the Southern Gothic "Eye of God" (1997), he was cast as a young teen who witnessed, or took part in, a killing. The growing talent gave a excellent supporting performance as a insolent teen age boy who becomes convinced something is not right with his peers in the adventure movie "Disturbing Behavior" (1998) starring alongside Katie Holmes. Nick went on to appear in the company of Terrence Malik's stimulated remake of "The Thin Red Line" (1998) starring alongside super hitters Adrien Brody, George Clooney and John Travolta, and exposition and hopeful musician in "Sunset Strip" (2000), a comedy that takes place during 24 hours on Sunset Strip in 1972. Next was the romantic drama "All Forgotten" (2000) Kirsten Dunst, about a young boy who falls in love with a tragic girl who flirts with, and manipulates, her older suitors in 1800's Russia. 2001 proved to be a terrific year for Stahl, who had roles in two celebrated Sundance-screened independent films. In "The Sleepy Time Gal", he played the son of terminally ill writer (Jacqueline Bisset) while "In the Bedroom" cast him as the murdered son of a New England couple. Later that same year, he gave a troubling portrayal of a an abusive friend and sexual predator in the true story of "Bully" ironically playing what would turn out to be one of the last films of long-time child actor Brad Renfro before his death.
Although director Larry Clark liked to exploit his young talent, Stahl was especially outstanding as Bobby Kent, once again proving that he was indisputably a talent to follow in the new generation. Nick Stahl's next assignment came in the form of the objective feature "Taboo" (2002) a terror that centered around a university game that ultimately turned fatal. The following year, Stahl joined Arnold Schwarzenegger for the highly anticipated summer's box office smash hit "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," taking the role of the mature John Connor, imminent leader of the conflict against the earth's mechanical killers. Stahl had the opportunity to work next to Claire Danes during this production. Stahl ended the year with the comedy thriller "Bookies" (2003) with Lukas Haas, and centers on four college friends who become small-time bookies, only to find their world spinning dangerously out of control when their greed attracts the attention of organized crime. Nick Stahl then starred in the wacky HBO series "Carnivale" (2003- ), a depression era production that cast him as Ben Hawkins, a rebel with astounding healing ability who takes shelter among a traveling circus run by an invisible management with ominous plans for him. Stahl then landed the perfect role of Junior Roarke in "That Yellow Bastard", Robert Rodriguez and writer-artist Frank Miller's visually eye-catching adaptation of the writers crime comic book series "Sin City" (2005). After police officer Hartigan (Bruce Willis) takes vicious revenge on the pedophile and child murderer Junior, Stahl successfully played his role as he worked the reminder of the production in heavy body makeup created to match Miller's comic book visualization of the ill, cynical executioner. Nick finished up the year with the dramatic comedy "The Night of the White Pants" (2006) about the patriarch of a distinguished but crumbling Dallas family who is forced to hit the town with his daughter's punk rock boyfriend (Nick Stahl).
Nick Stahl had only one film during 2007, the comedy crime thriller "How To Rob A Bank" (2007) about being caught in the middle of a bank robbery, where a slacker and a bank employee become the ones who arbitrate the intense situation. Starting of the following year, Stahl was cast and hired for the thriller "Quid Pro Quo" (2008), a strange story about a semi-paralyzed radio reporter is sent out to investigate a story that leads him into an odd subculture and on a journey of disturbing self-realization. Staying with the dramatic theme, Nick appeared in "Sleepwalking" (2008) with Charlize Theron. Stahl was then cast in Evan Oppenheimer's thriller "The Speed of Thought" (2008) about a telepath who has been raised in a NSA foster home and helps the government by using his abilities.
