Full Lukas Haas Biography
Haas was born in West Hollywood, California, the son of Berthold Haas, a painter, and singer/songwriter Emily Tracy. He has twin brothers, Simon Jakoway, an artist/musician, and Nikolai Johannes Haas, a musician/artist. At the age of five, he was discovered in his kindergarten by casting director Marjorie Simkin.
Lukas Haas’ career has spanned more than twenty years during which time he has appeared in more than thirty-six feature films, as well as a number of television shows and acclaimed theater productions.
Lukas’ career was launched in 1984, when, at the age of seven, he landed the titled role of ‘Samuel’ opposite Harrison Ford in the Peter Weir film, Witness. His performance as the Amish child who is the sole witness to an undercover cop’s murder won the hearts of moviegoers and the acclaim of the critics. Young Lukas soon landed starring roles in such films as Lady In White, The Wizard of Loneliness, and Alan and Naomi, which was co-written by his mother, Emily Tracy Haas.
Lukas was subsequently nominated for an Emmy for his portrayal of AIDS victim, Ryan White, in the controversial TV movie, The Ryan White Story. He continued to distinguish himself in film in starring roles opposite some of the most celebrated actors and directors of our time including: Jessica Lang in The Music Box, for director Costa Gravas, Robert Duvall (who Lukas first starred opposite one year earlier in Convicts) and Laura Dern in Rambling Rose, and John C. Reilly and Winona Ryder in Boys.
On stage in 1988, Lukas performed alongside Steve Martin and Robin Williams in Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot” at Lincoln Center in New York City for director Mike Nichols. |
