The weird thing with Jared Leto is that I’ve never felt he’s been very successful, yet he’s always had bunch of people hyping him. I can’t think of him being a leading actor in anything I’ve ever seen. He’s always been lower down the bill. You look at all his award nominations on IMDb and 90% of them are “supporting actor”.
So why is he a name? I always put it down to him being involved with the “right” people in Hollywood. Those people obviously being very wrong.
I mean… he’s had plenty of starring roles, and his acting has won him both awards and acclaim. Requiem for a Dream, Mr. Nobody, Dallas Buyers Club, House of Gucci, The Little Things - and that’s not including his clunkers. He’s still an in-demand actor with 30 years of work behind him. Not everyone makes a career that good in Hollywood.
I think he’s an asshole. But he’s a talented asshole.
He was great in that as well. I didn’t include it because he wasn’t in the ads for the movie, and so “we” weren’t sold a seat based on his participation, but good callout.
He is the lead singer of “30 Seconds to Mars”. That’s where his fame came from originally.
His appearance in movies has always been a weird “let’s shove this famous guy from one media into this other one for publicity” kinda thing. Then for some reason he just stayed doing movies and here we are.
Well, yeah, he and the guy from Live (the music band) both had cameos in Fight Club. also Meatloaf. also Brad Pitt is college pals with Sheryl Crow. I’m sure I could notice more, but I’m not interested in deep diving shit that reminds me of pretty mediocre times from High School, and largely falls flat as my adult life faced FAR more bullshit than disaffected 20 year old’s in the 90’s could have ever dared dream, my 20’s was defined by terror attacks, mass war, economic meltdown and the slow burn of manufactured consent pulling us all the way into fascism.
Interesting perspective. I’m 33 and I watched My So Called Life religiously. I forgot he was in it, I know him most from Dallas Buyer’s Club in a supporting role. I’ve never heard of 30 seconds to Mars until now (but if you name a song I’d probably have a light bulb moment and recognize the song, not the band)
Hollywood is a network of interlocking blackmail. They all know each other’s dirty little secrets and Leto has a sex cult island he’s using as a honey pot to get a bit more dirt on other people then they do on him.

For which he won his oscar for Actor in a supporting role
Supporting role behind Lady Gaga and Adam Driver
Nominated at Golden Gloves and SAG awards for best supporting role.
I’ll give you Requiem and Mr Nobody, however there’s no denying he doesn’t carry films in general. He’s an award winning supporting actor.
Lord of war was great
and Bladerunner 2049.
The Ryan Gosling film with Harrison Ford.
Aren’t you proving my point?

I had no idea he was in a band. Dude was from My So Called Life.
Jordan Catalano
Never heard of that show. Always knew him from the band growing up and was surprised as hell to learn he did film.
How old are you? That might have something to do with it. I’m 42, so Jared Leto was pretty famous for me in 1994
32
It’s absolutely an age thing. Show was before my time but grew up in the heyday of 30 Seconds to Mars

It’s Morbin time.
I think there’s a couple reasons. He did make some really good music, and he has a very recognizable face in that he kind of looks like Jesus lol
His music completely passed me by. I’ve only ever known him as an actor.
I think you could be right there. He’s maybe just well connected
