Josh Hartnett
Josh Hartnett made his film debut in 1998 in Halloween H20: 20 Years Later. He later told HuffPost that he was first offered another horror movie, the terrific 1998 Robert Rodriguez horror film The Faculty:
“The first film that I was offered was ‘The Faculty,’ not ‘Halloween: H20,’” Hartnett explained to HuffPost of his breakthrough gig, joking that he was “a stickler for clarity.”
“Rob Rodriguez gave me my first jump job and they were both Miramax and Dimension at the time. They saw a way to package me and make me sort of their young, new guy. So they said, ‘OK, you can do The Faculty if you do H20 as well.′ So I was shooting them both simultaneously. H20 came out before Faculty, though.”
He added that he “had a great time working with Jamie [Lee Curtis] and I think she’s fantastic.”
He doesn’t do many horror movies now, but was excellent in the horror TV show Penny Dreadful.
