Canadian actor Justin Chatwin was born on October 31, 1982, in Nanaimo, British Columbia. He studied Commerce at the University of British Columbia, and by accident he fell into acting when a friend dared him to join him on an audition. He had a small role in the film "Taking Lives," and soon after Tom Cruise picked Justin to play his son in the Sci-Fi action film "War Of The Worlds." Justin also had major parts in the movies "The Chumscrubber," "Josie and The Pussycats" and "The Invisible" and roles in the television shows "Weeds" and "Smallville," but he is also known as Eddie on the ABC series "Lost." Justin is married to American actress Sarah Charlotte, whom he met while filming "The Chumscrubber."

After regular TV work throughout the early 2000s, Canadian actor Justin Chatwin gained recognition in 2005 for his supporting role as Tom Cruise's son in the Steven Spielberg-directed summer blockbuster War of the Worlds. Chatwin would land his first starring role in a feature film just two years later, with The Invisible. A supernatural thriller helmed by Blade scribe David Goyer, the film cast Chatwin as a ghost in search of his own murderer. Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
