Nick Stahl was born in Harlingen, Texas on December 5, 1979, to Donna
Lynn, a brokerage assistant, and William Kent Stahl, a businessman.
After his mother took him to see a children's play at the age of four,
Nick confidently declared that acting would be his future. Commercials
and community plays followed, two television movies were also released
in the early 90s. The breakthrough he needed came next when he starred
alongside Mel Gibson, who
hand-selected Nick for the role, in
The Man Without a Face (1993).
Nick played Chuck, the little boy who befriends a stranger that was
disfigured in an accident. At age 17 he was cast in
Disturbing Behavior (1998)
and the ensemble film
The Thin Red Line (1998), which
was nominated for Best Picture by the Academy Awards. He has continued
to find success with acting, and though he has been featured in major
studio productions he is still, to date, more widely known for his
edgier and darker indie film roles.
