Emile Davenport Hirsch(born March 13, 1985) is an American television and film actor. He began performing in the late 1990s, appearing in several television films and series, and became known as a film actor after roles inLords of Dogtown,The Emperor's Club,The Girl Next Door,Alpha Dog, andInto the Wild. In 2008, Hirsch starred in [1] Speed RacerandMilk. He participated inSummit on the Summit, an expedition to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro to [2] raise awareness of the need for clean water in the world.

Early life Hirsch was born in Topanga, California. His mother, Margaret Esther (n e Davenport), is a visual artist and teacher [3][4] who designed pop-up books, and his father, David Hirsch, is an entrepreneur, manager, and producer. His older sister, Jenny, introduced him to acting when they were enrolled at the Will Geer Theatricum, a summer drama camp [3] in Topanga. Hirsch was raised in Los Angeles, California, and Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he lived with his [3][5] mother for several years after his parents divorced. He attended Topanga Canyon Elementary School, Paul Revere Middle School and the Academy of Music at Alexander Hamilton High School in Los Angeles. Hirsch was a varsity baseball player who set a California state record in his time at Paul Revere Middle School for the most stolen bases in a season, with 156. "I was pretty good," Hirsch said. Hirsch left Hamilton High School halfway through his senior year in order to pursue his career, later graduating from Beach High School, an independent private high school in Northern California.

Career [5] Hirsch began acting at the age of eight in rural Woodstock, Illinois, appearing in minor roles on television shows and made-for-television films, includingKindred: the Embraced;Sabrina, the Teenage WitchandNYPD Blue. Following his appearance onNYPD Blue, casting directors began singling him out as a serious young actor, leading to a two-episode guest-starring role onER. He made his feature film debut with Jodie Foster's 2002 drama,The [5] Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, where he starred opposite Kieran Culkin in the story of two Catholic school boys. His next feature film role was in the prep school drama,The Emperor's Club, with Kevin Kline, which was released later in 2002. Hirsch's reviews were favorable, and both films received generally positive reviews, but performed only moderately at the box office. Hirsch was subsequently cast opposite Elisha Cuthbert in the 2004 teen comedy,The Girl Next Door, and as a result gained excellent mainstream reviews and wider recognition among teenage audiences. The Mudge Boy, an independent film in which he had starred before makingThe Girl Next Door, was given a limited release in the summer of 2004. Hirsch next appeared with Jeff Daniels and Sigourney Weaver inImaginary Heroes, a drama about a dysfunctional family, which [6][7] received a limited release in February 2005.

Later, in 2005, Hirsch starred with Heath Ledger inLords of Dogtown, a cult favorite by director Catherine Hardwicke; the film, about a number of well-known skaters of the 1970s and their role in the birth of a higher-profile skateboard culture, was released on June 3, 2005. Hirsch played Jay Adams (who some say was the original“Z-Boy”), and was praised by critics for his performance. He subsequently appeared inAlpha Dog, a dark drama starring Justin Timberlake, Anton Yelchin, Bruce Willis, and Sharon Stone in which Hirsch played Hirsch at the 2008 premiere ofSpeed Racer a character based on real-life drug dealer Jesse James Hollywood; the film was shot in 2004 and released on January 12, 2007. Hirsch consulted with Hollywood's real life father before [8] playing the role, and has said that he felt "pretty afraid in my bones most of the time" while filming because of the [9] film's raw characters and dialogue.

Hirsch next played adventurer Christopher McCandless in Sean Penn's critically acclaimed adventure-dramaInto the Wild, released on September 21, 2007. He lost 40 pounds for the role and was noted in reviews as a potential [5][10] Academy Award nominee for the film, also receiving a Screen Actors Guild nomination for best actor. Hirsch [1] had the lead role inSpeed Racer, which was released on May 9, 2008. Hirsch plays gay rights activist Cleve Jones in Gus Van Sant's 2008 Harvey Milk bio-picMilkstarring Sean Penn in the title role. He starred inTaking Woodstock, based on a screenplay of Elliot Tiber's memoirTaking Woodstock, adapted by James Schamus. The film was directed by Academy Award Winning Director Ang Lee. His co-stars are Demetri Martin, Liev Schreiber, Imelda Staunton, Eugene Levy and Henry Goodman.Taking Woodstockwas shot in upstate New York and was released in August 2009.
