Shawn Hatosy

Shawn Hatosy continues to expand upon his already impressive resume by starring in a number of films. He takes a darker turn alongside the likes of Bruce Willis, Sharon Stone, and Justin Timberlake in Universal’s ALPHA DOG (Jan. 12th) which reunites him with his JOHN Q director Nick Cassavetes. The drama recounts the life of Jesse James Hollywood, a drug dealer who became one of the youngest men to be listed on FBI’s Most Wanted.

Also on the horizon is the indie film NOBEL SON in which it is revealed through various twists and turns that Hatosy’s character is the illegitimate son of Nobel Prize-winning researcher Eli Michaelson (Alan Rickman). More recently, he wrapped the drama DISCONNECTED in which he stars opposite Nikki Reed.

Amongst Hatosy’s two dozen plus films are the likes of Robert Rodriguez’s THE FACULTY with Josh Hartnett, Wayne Wang’s ANYWHERE BUT HERE opposite Natalie Portman, IN & OUT with Kevin Kline, THE COOLER which once again paired him with his OUTSIDE PROVIDENCE co-star Alec Baldwin, A GUY THING with Julie Stiles, BORSTAL BOY in which he starred as acclaimed Irish poet Brendan Behan, and SIMPATICO with Jeff Bridges.

Hatosy’s talent has also afforded him the opportunity to work for several actors-turn-directors including his film debut in Jodie Foster’s HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS, Kevin Costner’s THE POSTMAN, and Scott Caan’s CineVegas Critics Award-winner DALLAS 362.

In the realm of critically lauded telefilms, Hatosy most recently starred as John McCain in A & E’s FAITH OF MY FATHERS, as well as in Frank Pierson’s Golden Globe-nominated Showtime drama SOLDIER’S GIRL, and the Emmy-nominated WITNESS PROTECTION for HBO. Also resonating with Emmy-buzz is his recent guest turn as a schizophrenic on John Wells’ ER.

Hatosy is equally adept at performing in front of a live audience. In his most recent stage credit, he landed the coveted role opposite Al Pacino in Lyle Kessler’s “Orphans” at the Greenway Court Theatre in Los Angeles. Hatosy also received accolades for his stage debut as the title role in the La Jolla Playhouse production of “The Collected Works of Billy the Kid.” Off-Broadway, he starred opposite Anna Paquin in the Paul Weitz comedy “Roulette.”
