Biography
Academy Award® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal won a BAFTA and National Board of Review award for his poignant performance as 'Jack Twist' in Ang Lee's timeless classic Brokeback Mountain. Gyllenhaal was starring in Duncan Jones' critically acclaimed sci-fi thriller Source Code and Ed Zwick's Love and Other Drugs, for which he received a Golden Globe® nomination for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical."
Working with some of Hollywood's greatest filmmakers, Gyllenhaal has also starred in Richard Kelly's cult hit Donnie Darko, Jim Sheridan's Brothers, David Fincher's Zodiac, Sam Mendes' Jarhead, John Madden's Proof, Miguel Arteta's The Good Girl, Brad Silberling's Moonlight Mile, Nicole Holofcener's Lovely and Amazing, and Joe Johnston's October Sky.
Gyllenhaal made his U.S. stage debut starring in If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet for the Roundabout Theatre Company. His first theatre performance in 2002, in which he starred in Kenneth Lonergan's revival of This is Our Youth, on London's West End brought him an Evening Standard Theater Award for "Outstanding Newcomer."
