Jared Joseph Leto Was Born December 26 1971 In Bossier City Louisiana
Leto has appeared in both big budget Hollywood films and smaller projects from independent producers and art houses. He formed the rock band in 1998 in Los Angeles, California, along with his older brother Shannon Leto. This Is War, the band’s third album, arrived in December 2009. Jared Joseph Leto was born December 26, 1971, in Bossier City, Louisiana. Leto later co-starred with Christina Ricci in The Last of the High Kings and appeared in Switchback. Leto took his first leading role in 1997′s Prefontaine, a biography of 1970′s Olympic hopeful Steve Prefontaine. Critical response praised Leto’s acting; Peter Stack of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote, “With hypnotic blue eyes and dirty blond hair, Leto captures the rock-star style Prefontaine affected, and he looks natural in fiery performances on the track, as well as off, where Pre affected a brash, confrontational style,” while Lisa Alspector of the Chicago Reader felt that “As the driven competitor who learns to make hubris work for him, Jared Leto gives a complex performance that suggests a deep, intriguing interior to the character even as he maintains a convincing one-dimensional facade.” After landing the lead role of a British aristocratic in the 1998 drama Basil, Leto starred in the teen horror film Urband Legend.
