Midwestern-born actor Garrett Hedlund debuted in the mid-2000s with a series of plum roles in A-list features. In the beginning, he seemed typecast as a well-rounded, average American young man, and made particularly strong impressions in that vein with his portrayal of high-school football hero Don Billingsley in Friday_Night_Lights, opposite Billy_Bob_Thornton. Yet Hedlund surprised and delighted his followers with a strong show of versatility thereafter, with effective portrayals as struggling musician Jack Mercer, who joins forces with his siblings to determine the reasons behind his mother's death, in John_Singleton's urban drama Four_Brothers (2005), and as Murtagh in the otherworldly fantasy Eragon (2006). In 2007, Hedlund essayed two very different roles: he joined Jane_Fonda and Lindsay_Lohan in the gentle rural drama Georgia_Rule, then co-starred alongside Kevin_Bacon in the one-man vigilante drama Death_Sentence, about a father who attempts to wreak vengeance on those who rubbed out his family.
