Early life and background

[edit]

Lerman was born in Beverly Hills, California.[2] His mother, Lisa (née Goldman), works as his manager, and his father, Larry Lerman, is a businessman and orthotist.[3][4] He has an older sister and an older brother.[5][6][7]

Lerman is Jewish,[8][9][10] and had a Bar Mitzvah ceremony.[11][12][13] His grandparents were born in four different countries. His paternal grandfather, Max Lerman, was born in Berlin, in 1927, to a Polish Jewish family; they left Germany in the 1930s because of the Nazi regime, and lived in Shanghai until the end of World War II.[14][15] His paternal grandmother, Mina (née Schwartz), was born in Mexico City, to Russian Jewish parents.[15][16][17][18] His maternal grandfather was a Polish Jewish immigrant, and his maternal grandmother was born in Los Angeles, also to a Jewish immigrant family.[14] On his mother's side he is a relative, by marriage, of twin singers Evan and Jaron Lowenstein.[19][20]

Lerman has stated that he is a "black sheep" in his household because he is an actor, while most of his relatives work in the medical profession.[21] His family owns and operates an orthotics and prosthetics company which was founded by his great-grandfather in 1915.[4][22] He attended Beverly Hills High School.[23][24] In 2010, he applied to study creative writing at New York University, but postponed his attendance.[25]

Career

[edit]

Early work (2000–2008)

[edit]

Lerman had a passion for movies from a young age, though he started acting "just for fun" and "to do something to get out of school".[26] He began auditioning for roles in the late 1990s, and first appeared in commercials.[27][28] He made his film debut in 2000's The Patriot, playing William Martin, one of the lead character's children. The same year, he appeared in What Women Want. In 2001's Riding in Cars with Boys, he played the son of the main character. Lerman has stated that while appearing in his earliest roles as a child, he did not have "any conscious awareness of what I was doing or what was going on"[26] and "didn't have a good experience".[6]

In 2003, Lerman played nine-year-old Luke Chandler in the CBS made-for-television film A Painted House, based on the early life of author John Grisham and set in Black Oak, Arkansas in the early 1950s. A Painted House was filmed in Lepanto and Clarksdale, Mississippi, in 2002.[29][30] A review in the Boston Globe described Lerman as a "promising newcomer"[31] with the Telegraph-Herald commenting on the character having been "quietly and effectively played".[32] For the role, he was nominated for the Young Artist Award for Best Performance by a Leading Young Actor in a television production, and tied with Calum Worthy for the win.[33] He next appeared in the 2004 thriller film The Butterfly Effect, portraying a seven-year-old version of character Evan Treborn.[34] digitallyOBSESSED's reviewer described Lerman as "definitely a child actor to watch".[35]

Lerman had quit acting for a "year or so" in the early 2000s, when he was ten.[6] He made a "conscious decision" to embrace acting as a profession when he was twelve, having developed an interest in the filmmaking process.[26] In 2004, he was cast in the television series Jack & Bobby, playing one of the title roles, Robert "Bobby" McCallister, a 12-year-old "extremely bright social misfit"[36] in Missouri who was destined to become President of the United States as an adult. The show ran on The WB Television Network during the 2004–2005 season, receiving some positive reviews but low ratings,[37][38] and was subsequently canceled. Lerman was nominated for another Young Artist Award for his performance, tying with Jack DeSena for the win.[39][40] Lerman has stated that he "started taking things seriously" about his career after appearing on the show.[41] The Boston Herald's reviewer mentioned that Lerman's performance had a "blend of vulnerability and strength",[42] while Entertainment Weekly's reviewer had noted that "Lerman lends Bobby a bedraggled optimism".[43]

Continuing his film work, Lerman had his first starring role in a motion picture, playing Roy Eberhardt in the children's adventure Hoot; his character moves to Florida from Montana and attempts to save endangered burrowing owls. Lerman stated that the film's message is "that you can be any age and make a difference".[39] Hoot began filming in July 2005 in South Florida, opened on May 5, 2006, and won him a third Young Artist Award, this time for Best Performance in a Feature Film – Leading Young Actor (2007).[44] The Washington Post's reviewer commented that "Lerman shows some life as Roy" though his role was "an anomaly in a sea of insipidity",[45] while the San Francisco Chronicle's reviewer disliked Lerman's performance.[46]

In 2007, Lerman appeared in the thriller The Number 23, in which he played the son of Walter Sparrow, a man who becomes obsessed with numerology. That year, he also appeared in the critically acclaimed western remake 3:10 to Yuma, playing William Evans, a teenager who looks up to criminal Ben Wade while shunning his father; Lerman's character did not exist in the original version of the story. Lerman received positive reviews for his work,[47] and was again nominated for the Young Artist Award – Best Performance in a Feature Film – Leading Young Actor (2008). It was the second consecutive year he received a nomination in that category, although this time he did not win.[48][49] USA Today stated that he was among the film's "best supporting players",[50] while Rolling Stone gave Lerman a "shout-out"[51] and Newsday stated that he delivers a "credibly explicit note".[52]

In 2008, Lerman co-starred in the comedy Meet Bill as a teenager mentored by Bill. Meet Bill was filmed in 2006, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2007, and received a theatrical release on April 4, 2008. Hollywood.com stated that, though the film was uneven, Lerman "displays a supreme confidence".[53] In 2009, he appeared in the science fiction film Gamer, as Simon, a teenage gamer who controls one of the characters in a video game played with live human subjects.[54] Also that year, Lerman had a leading role in the comedy My One and Only, playing a teenage character based on actor George Hamilton – depicted as an aspiring writer who, after his parents split, accompanies his mother and brother on a cross-country trip, eventually arriving in Hollywood.[55][56] Bloomberg's reviewer described Lerman as appealing,[57] with the Los Angeles Times' Betsy Sharkey stating that the character "captures the ease with which an angry teen will use a growing vocabulary to wound a parent".[58]

Anderson's 3D film version of The Three Musketeers, which was released in the U.S. on October 21, 2011.[62] Lerman was cast in the role without having to audition.[63] He took the role because The Three Musketeers was one of the only books his paternal grandfather had taken with him when he "had to leave his home... as a young kid" in the 1930s.[64] Lerman trained in sword fighting for three months and wore hair extensions to portray d'Artagnan, whom he has described as "the most different character to me that I've ever played".[26][65] The film received negative reviews, with Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune writing that "Lerman already has done solid work... but he's a blank slate here."[66][67]

Lerman starred in a film adaptation of Stephen Chbosky's novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower, playing the lead role, Charlie; filming took place in 2011, and the movie was released in September 2012.[68] Lerman has described the film as a "life epic, and stated that he had been "torturing [himself] for... a few months in order to get inside Charlie's head."[26] The movie received positive reviews, as did Lerman's performance. Leonard Maltin wrote that Lerman and his co-stars were "soulful" and "lift this film above the norm for coming-of-age stories"[69][70] while Christy Lemire of the Associated Press wrote that, by the film's end, Lerman "bust[s] out, show[s] some range and reveal[s] he can really, truly act".[71] For his performance, Lerman was nominated for several awards, including Best Young Actor/Actress by the Broadcast Film Critics Association, and won a Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie Actor: Drama.[72]

Lerman at the world premiere of Fury in October 2014

Lerman played the lead, Marcus Messner, in Indignation, an adaptation of Philip Roth's 2008 novel of the same name, directed by James Schamus; his character is a student who faces antisemitism and sexual repression while coming of age at a 1950s Ohio college.[88] Filming began in June 2015. Indignation premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, and was theatrically released in July 2016. It received positive reviews for both the film itself and Lerman's performance, with Tim Grierson of ScreenDaily writing that Lerman's work "seethes with his character's burgeoning arrogance and cynicism" and David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter stating that Lerman gives "a performance of tremendous focus, maturity and depth of feeling, with exciting flashes of the umbrage that gives the film its title".[89][90] Lerman also served as one of the film's executive producers, receiving his first such credit.[89][91]
