Patrick Fugit

Ever since a child, Patrick Fugit has always been fascinated by acting. He even participated in the production of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, appearing as a shoemaker when he was in the seventh grade. When he got older, he was lucky enough to be cast on Almost Famous as its lead star. Despite having zero knowledge of ‘70s music, Fugit did well. Mind you, that same movie launched the career of Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Kate Hudson, who took supporting roles.

What was unfortunate is that Fugit appeared to have been a one-hit-wonder. While he was critically praised for Almost Famous, people would barely remember his name now and might even be surprised that he has been given credit in several popular TV series like House, ER, and the leading role in Outcast. Until the actor lands another breakthrough, Fugit might stay in the list of actors who somehow got overshadowed. With his talents, we believe he could make a good one soon.
