James LeGros made his feature film debut in Solar Babies (1986); three years
later, James LeGros' career received a major boost when he co-starred in Gus
Van Sant's acclaimed Drugstore Cowboy. James LeGros subsequently carved out
a niche for himself in a wide variety of independent and mainstream films.
James LeGros' other notable projects during the early to mid-'90s included
The Rapture (1991), Cameron Crowe's Singles (1992), My New Gun (1992), and
Todd Haynes' Safe (1995). James LeGros did particularly fine work for Tom Di
Cillo in Living in Oblivion (1995), playing an obnoxious, narcissistic movie
star reportedly modeled after Brad Pitt, an actor to whom LeGros is
frequently compared thanks to his chiseled blonde looks. Unlike Pitt, James
LeGros has continued to do his strongest work in independent films,
appearing in such efforts as Wishful Thinking (1997), The Myth of
Fingerprints (1997), L.A. Without a Map (1998), and Jump, the last of which
was shown at the 1999 Los Angeles Independent Film Festival. |
