If variety is the spice of life, then Jake Gyllenhaal can already boast of a seasoned career with numerous acclaimed performances. From his Oscar-nominated performance in BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN to his memorable performance as Homer Hickham in OCTOBER SKY, to his Indie Spirit-nominated starring role in DONNIE DARKO (my personal favorite), and then to the wide-eyed innocence of the cult-hit BUBBLE BOY, Gyllenhaal moves easily in and out of the skins of disparate and unique char In 2002, Jake starred opposite Jennifer Aniston in the Sundance-praised and critically-acclaimed, THE GOOD GIRL; with Catherine Keener in LOVELY AND AMAZING; and with a stellar Oscar-studded cast of Dustin Hoffman, Holly Hunter, and Susan Sarandon in MOONLIGHT MILE.
For 2003, Jake expanded his range to co-star in THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, an action movie with Dennis Quaid. Oscar came knocking at the door for the highly accclaimed BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN. Jake can next be seen in the serial killer thriller, ZODIAC. |

O N S T A G E The place where all actors demonstrate their skill is in the theatre, on stage in front of a live audience. No takes to cover up mistakes. No safety net. Jake Gyllenhaal lead last year's charge of film actors who headed for the London stage to practice and hone their craft. Starring with Hayden Christensen and Anna Paquin, Jake appeared in THIS IS OUR YOUTH, a play by Kenneth Lonergan. For his stage debut, Jake won 'Outstanding Newcomer' in the prestigious Evening Standard Theatre Awards. |
