He is the lead singer of "30 Seconds to Mars". That's where his fame came from originally.

His appearance in movies has always been a weird "let's shove this famous guy from one media into this other one for publicity" kinda thing. Then for some reason he just stayed doing movies and here we are.

Well, yeah, he and the guy from Live (the music band) both had cameos in Fight Club. also Meatloaf. also Brad Pitt is college pals with Sheryl Crow. I'm sure I could notice more, but I'm not interested in deep diving shit that reminds me of pretty mediocre times from High School, and largely falls flat as my adult life faced FAR more bullshit than disaffected 20 year old's in the 90's could have ever dared dream, my 20's was defined by terror attacks, mass war, economic meltdown and the slow burn of manufactured consent pulling us all the way into fascism.

I had no idea he was in a band. Dude was from My So Called Life.

Never heard of that show. Always knew him from the band growing up and was surprised as hell to learn he did film.

How old are you? That might have something to do with it. I'm 42, so Jared Leto was pretty famous for me in 1994

32

It's absolutely an age thing. Show was before my time but grew up in the heyday of 30 Seconds to Mars

Interesting perspective. I'm 33 and I watched My So Called Life religiously. I forgot he was in it, I know him most from Dallas Buyer's Club in a supporting role. I've never heard of 30 seconds to Mars until now (but if you name a song I'd probably have a light bulb moment and recognize the song, not the band)
