Lou Taylor Pucci Biography
At the age of ten, Lou Taylor Pucci had no serious interest in acting, but his aunt saw that he had quite a talent for the art. She bribed him to appear in a community theater production of +Oliver, kicking off a career that would soon land him on Broadway in a production of +The Sound of Music. By the age of 15, he had a small part in the independent film Personal_Velocity:_Three_Portraits. The minor role caught the eye of agent Billy Lazarus, who subsequently took Pucci on as a client. Pucci took his first leading role in 2005's Thumbsucker, the first feature film by music video director Mike_Mills. His sensitive and humorous portrayal of a 17-year-old boy's struggle to grow up was extremely well received, garnering praise from critics and audiences alike. Leading up to this auspicious debut, the young actor had a supporting part in another indie film called The_Chumscrubber, a darkly comic tale about the dysfunction of suburbia. The same year, he could be seen performing alongside such greats as Paul_Newman, Ed_Harris, and Philip_Seymour_Hoffman in the Golden Globe Award-winning HBO mini series Empire_Falls. 2006 found Pucci reluctant to slow down, joining the cast of director Martin_Hynes' second feature film The Go-Getter, as well as Richard_Linklater's film adaptation of Eric_Schlosser's best-selling book Fast_Food_Nation. He also signed on to appear in Donnie_Darko director Richard_Kelly's futuristic ensemble film Southland_Tales. Cammila Albertson, Rovi
