Full Justin Theroux Biography
Theroux was born in Washington, D.C., the son of Syphyllis, a journalist and author, and Eugene Theroux, a corporate lawyer. His uncle, Paul, wrote The Mosquito Coast, while his cousin, Louis, is a journalist. Theroux discovered acting while attending Buxton School, a boarding school in Williamstown, MA. He graduated from Bennington College with a double major in visual arts and drama.
Theroux made his film debut in 1996, in Mary Harron's I Shot Andy Warhol. Since then, he has performed both on Broadway, starring in the acclaimed "Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Toward the Somme," numerous off-Broadway productions and in comedies, such as The Baxter, Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, Broken Hearts Club and Zoolander, and darker, more serious fare such as American Psycho. Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle has been his most commercially successful film. He recently appeared in the film versions of the cult TV show Strangers with Candy and Michael Mann's Miami Vice. Theroux starred in David Lynch's films Inland Empire and the widely known Mulholland Drive.
In 2006, he directed his first film, Dedication, which premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. He is a huge fan of the band Deerhoof and chose them to score Dedication. Theroux also had roles in two other films at the festival, the first is Broken English and the other is The Ten, in which he plays Jesus Christ alongside Gretchen Mol. Theroux co-wrote the upcoming Ben Stiller-directed film Tropic Thunder. |
