Lou Taylor Pucci emerged as one of the most promising young actors of his generation when Mike Mills’ Thumbsucker premiered at Sundance Film Festival. For his performance as ‘Justin Cobb,’ a compulsive 17-year-old thumbsucker, Pucci received both a Sundance Special Jury Prize for acting and the Best Actor Award at the Berlin Film Festival.Pucci made his feature film debut as a young hitchhiker in Rebecca Miller’s Personal Velocity, which earned the Sundance Grand Jury Prize for Dramatic Film. His motion picture credits also include Evil Dead, the fourth installment in the franchise produced by Sam Raimi; Beginners, re-teaming with Mike Mills, The Music Never Stopped with Oscar winner J.K. Simmons; The Answer Man, opposite Jeff Daniels; Carriers, alongside Chris Pine; Richard Linklater’s Fast Food Nation; and Will Canon’s Brotherhood (Best Narrative Feature, SXSW).The actor has also made a notable impression on the small screen, starring in memorable, recurring roles on “American Horror Story,” “You’re The Worst,” “Falling Water,” and as the tortured hipster Benji in the Netflix hit “You.” Additional television credits include the HBO miniseries “Empire Falls,” working opposite Paul Newman and Ed Harris for director Fred Schepisi, an appearance on “Halt and Catch Fire,” a crossover role between “Chicago PD” and “Law and Order: SVU,” and as an indie rock icon in Green Day’s music video “Jesus of Suburbia.”Pucci grew up in central New Jersey and had little interest in acting until his aunt bribed him to try out for community theater at age 10. Two years later, he appeared on Broadway as Friedrich in “The Sound of Music.”
