Emile Davenport Hirsch (born March 13 1985) is an American television and film actor.

Early life

Hirsch was born in Topanga, California to an industrial consultant father and a pop-up book artist mother; his parents are now divorced and he lives with his father. He has a sister, Jenny, who is also an actress. Hirsch attended the Hamilton High School Academy of Music in Los Angeles and is good friends with actor Andrew Keegan.

Career

Hirsch began acting in the late 1990s, appearing in many minor roles on television shows or made-for-television films, including Kindred: the Embraced, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and NYPD Blue. He made his film debut with the 2002 drama, The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys
, where he starred opposite Kieran Culkin in the story of two Catholic school boys. His next role was in the prep school drama, The Emperor's Club
, which was released later in 2002. Both films received generally positive reviews, but performed only moderately at the box office.

Hirsch was subsequently cast opposite Elisha Cuthbert in the 2004 teen comedy, The Girl Next Door
, which led to recognition by teenage audiences. The Mudge Boy
, an independent film that he had starred in before making Girl Next Door, was given a limited release in the summer of 2004. Hirsch next appeared in Imaginary Heroes
, a drama about a dysfunctional family, which received a limited release in February 2005 but failed to reach a wider audience, despite mostly positive reviews.

Hirsch's latest film, Lords of Dogtown
, about a number of well-known skaters of the 1970s, was released in June 2005 but had also performed poorly at the box office. His next role will be in Alpha Dog
, a dark drama about drug dealer Jesse James Hollywood.
