Leto has appeared in both big budget Hollywood films and smaller projects from independent producers and art houses. He later made his film debut in How to Make an American Quilt (1995) and received first notable critical praise for his performance in Prefontaine (1997). He has worked with director David Fincher in Fight Club (1999) and Panic Room (2002). Leto is the lead vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and main songwriter for 30 Seconds to Mars. Leto has also directed music videos, including the MTV Video Music Award nominated “The Kill” (2006), “Kings and Queens” (2009), and “Hurricane” (2010). His parents divorced when he was a child, leaving him in the care of his mother, Constance. “My mom’s father was in the Air Force,” Leto explained, “so moving around a lot was a normal way of life.” His father remarried and died soon after. Leto has two younger half-brothers from his father’s second marriage.
