Nick Stahl

After an impressive feature film debut at the age of twelve, Nick Stahl has continued to display a broad range of talent. Stahl was seen in the independent feature film Burning Palms opposite Zoe Saldana, and also Sleepwalking for Overture Films playing the lead role opposite Charlize Theron, AnnaSophia Robb, and Dennis Hopper.

Over the past few years, Stahl has completed work in the feature films Quid Pro Quo opposite Vera Formiga, and Sin City opposite Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba and directed by Robert Rodriquez. He also starred on HBO's critically acclaimed series Carnivale, as Ben Hawkins.

Born in Harlington, Texas and raised in Dallas, Stahl started to perform in children's plays at the age of four. His first professional role was at the age of ten in the television movie Stranger at My Door with Robert Urich. He followed with another movie of the week, A Woman with a Past, opposite Pamela Reed.

Shortly thereafter, he received the coveted role of the young boy in The Man Without a Face, who brings out the love in a physically and emotionally scarred man (played by Mel Gibson). Gibson gave him the role over thousands of others after being impressed by his screen test.

Each one of the roles he has played in his professional career has displayed impressive range and diversity - the ultimate goal that actors many times his age find difficult to achieve.
