BIOGRAPHY OF PETER SARSGAARD
Born in Belleville, Illinois, the March 7, 1971, Peter Sarsgaard he lived the first years of his life, often moving from one part of the country to another, due to the constant job changes of his father, an engineer of Danish origins. His childhood dream was a brilliant football career and for this reason he decided to take dance lessons to improve his body coordination; unfortunately the various injuries on the playing field forced him to abandon football. Thus he turns his interest in the theater, founding “Mam’s Pot Roast”, a comedy improvisation company. While attending Washington University in St. Louis, where he studies history, he performs in plays and collaborates with the Actors Studio in New York, where he will move after graduation.
Followed by some theatrical performances in some off-Broadway shows, but they do not allow him to sustain himself as he should, so he starts working on TV, appearing in some episodes of even successful series, such as Law & Order in 1995. In the same year he made his cinema debut in Dead Man Walking – Sentenced to death (1995), where she plays one of the victims of Sean Penn. In 1997 he was in the cast of the successful film The Iron Mask (1998) as the son of Athos (John Malkovich).

In 2003 he found Sevigny in The inventor of fairy tales, whose performance earned him a Golden Globe and Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, as well as a National Society of Film Critics Award win. These are the first awards that the actor wins in his candidacy and are followed, after only one year, by a nomination in the same category for Kinsey (2004) of Bill Condon. Fame begins to interest his name and confirms it in 2005, an intense year for the actor, who is at the cinema with four works: the dramatic The Dying Gaul, the thriller Fightplan – Mystery in flight, horror The Skeleton Key and the war bio-pic Jarhead. In 2007 he is in the cast of Rendition – Illegal detention with Reese Witherspoon, Meryl Streep, Alan Arkin and many others. He begins to receive more and more important roles, from that of protagonist in The Pittsburg Mysteries (2008) to the one next to Penélope Cruz is Ben Kingsley in Lessons of love (2008).
