An appealingly scruffy-looking young actor with curly dark hair and piercing
green eyes who co-starred with perky young teen queen Melissa Joan Hart in
the high school-set romantic comedy "Drive Me Crazy" (1999), Adrian Grenier
seemed poised to claim the teen idol crown. Prior roles in such highly-regarded
independents as "Hurricane Streets" (1997) and "The Adventures of Sebastian
Cole" (1999) would point to a more enduring and challenging career in store
for the young actor. Grenier made his feature debut in Hannah Weyer's 1997
independent "Arresting Gena" and that same year played a street punk in "Hurricane
Streets". 1998 saw him take a role as part of superstar Brandon Darrow
(Leonardo DiCaprio)'s entourage in Woody Allen's "Celebrity". Grenier's next
outing was "The Adventures of Sebastian Cole", starring as the title
character.

His portrayal of the confused but good humored young man struggling through
his stepfather Hank's decision to become Henrietta as well as his own
pubescent trials in 1983 upstate New York. The actor impressed critics and
audiences with his charming turn, and proved more than capable of holding
his own onscreen.
Grenier's next project was in quite a different vein from his previous work,
starring as an edgy activist turned dream date to girl-next-door Nicole (Melissa
Joan Hart) in "Drive Me Crazy". He performed well in the film and affected
the perfect detached too-cool-to-care facade that teenage girls expect in a
heartthrob. For his next role in John Waters' "Cecil B Demented", he
portrayed an actor, the leading man in the titular director's latest
schlocky offering "Raving Beauty". Grenier returned to hallowed halls, this
time as a college student gone wrong in James Toback's "Harvard Man" (2001).
Cast opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar, another teen favorite, he played the
eponymous basketball star who falls into a life of compulsive gambling and
drug abuse. |
