Biography
Two-time Academy award® nominee Jeremy Renner starred in the 2010 Best Picture winner "The Hurt Locker," directed by Kathryn Bigelow. Winner of six Academy Awards® and inspired by true events, "The Hurt Locker" is the story of a bomb disposal team in Baghdad who has volunteered for one of the world's most dangerous jobs. In his role as the self-assured Sgt. James, Renner was awarded the Breakthrough Actor Award at the Hollywood Film Festival, the Spotlight Award at the Savannah Film Festival and received Best Actor nominations from the 2008 BAFTA Awards and Independent Spirit Awards. For "The Hurt Locker," Renner also garnered nominations for Breakthrough Actor and Best Ensemble Performance at the Gotham Awards, nominations for Leading Actor and Best Ensemble from the SAG Awards, and of course, a nomination as Best Actor by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The following year Renner was nominated for an Academy Award® as Best Supporting Actor for his role in "The Town," directed by Ben Affleck for Warner Bros. An adaptation of the Chuck Hogan novel Prince of Thieves, the film centers on a thief (Affleck) and his best friend and member of his gang (Renner), and was released in the fall of 2010. For his role in The Town Renner was also honored with Supporting Actor nominations from both the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Golden Globes.
In December 2011 Renner co-starred in "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" opposite Tom Cruise for Paramount Pictures and directed by Brad Bird and in the spring of 2012 Renner starred as Hawkeye in Joss Whedon's "The Avengers." The actor next starred in "The Bourne Legacy", a new installment of the popular Bourne franchise and followed that up with "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters." Additional films include "The Immigrant" with Marion Cotillard and Joaquin Phoenix for director James Gray and The Weinstein Company and "American Hustle," the David O'Russell directed film with Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence for Sony.
He and partner Don Handfield have formed The Combine, a production company that is creating, developing and producing high-quality, character-driven content for mainstream audiences. Their more recent feature, "Kill The Messenger," starred Renner as journalist Gary Webb and was released by Focus Features in 2013. Yet more recent for The Combine was "Knightfall," a tale of the Knights of Templar for The History Channel, which Renner produced.
Renner starred in the second installment of "The Avengers: Age of Ultron," which was released in May 2015. In July 2015, Renner reprised his role as William Brandt in "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation." He also appeared in "Captain America: Civil War" and co-starred with Amy Adams in the Denis Villenueve feature "Story of your Life."
In 2007, Renner was seen in three different features, including "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" for Warner Bros, directed by Andrew Dominik, in which Renner starred alongside Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck, as a key member of James' gang, "Wood Hide." He also starred in "28 Weeks Later," the highly anticipated sequel to "28 Days Later," and "Take," opposite Minnie Driver.
In 2006 he also starred in the acclaimed independent film "12 and Holding" (Independent Spirit Award Nominee – John Cassavetes Award), demonstrating his dramatic range playing "Gus," a firefighter who moves to a new town after the haunting loss of a young girl in a fire.
Other film credits included the independent film "Neo Ned" which screened at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival and swept the feature film category at the 11th Annual Palm Beach International Film Festival in 2006. "Neo Ned" was awarded Best Feature Film, Best Director and the Best Actor Award went to Renner. The film was also awarded the Outstanding Achievement in Filmmaking, Best Feature Film Award at the Newport Beach Film Festival in April 2006. These awards come after winning the Audience Award at the Slamdance, Sarasota and Ashland film festivals.
Renner also starred opposite Academy Award® winner Charlize Theron in Warner Bros' North Country, starred opposite Julia Stiles in "A Little Trip to Heaven," in "The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things," "Love Comes to the Executioner," "Lords of Dogtown" for helmer Catherine Hardwicke, and, in the summer of 2003, "S.W.A.T." opposite Colin Farrell and Samuel L. Jackson for Columbia Pictures. The role that initially put Renner on the map and earned the actor an Independent Spirit Award nomination was his portrayal of "Jeffrey Dahmer" in the indie hit "Dahmer.
With a background in theater, Renner starred in and also co-directed "Search and Destroy," which was produced by Barry Levinson and received stellar reviews.
