Following his graduation from Fairfield Prep in 1989, he attended Bard College in New York for two years before transferring to Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) in 1991, where he co-founded an improvisational comedy troupe "Mama's Pot Roast".[7] While at WUSTL, Sarsgaard began performing in plays in an offshoot of New York's Actors Studio;[7] His first role was as the servant Laurent in Molière's Tartuffe. In 1993, he graduated with a bachelor's degree in history and moved to New York.[7][8]
Career
1995–1998: Early work
Sarsgaard branched out with guest roles in television productions filmed in New York City, with Law & Order in 1995,[9] and New York Undercover (1997) as well as an appearance in the 1997 HBO special Subway Stories.[10] He appeared in his first film role in Dead Man Walking (1995), where he was cast as a murdered teenager, killed by Sean Penn's character.[11][12]
In 1995, Sarsgaard made his theatrical debut in the Off-Broadway production of Horton Foote's Laura Dennis, which was directed by James Houghton.[13] Ben Brantley of The New York Times wrote: "Mr. Sarsgaard ... emerges as an actor to watch with a performance of breathtaking emotional conviction."[13] The following year he starred in Kingdom of Earth opposite Cynthia Nixon and directed by John Cameron Mitchell.[14] His performance in the play received favorable reviews amongst critics.[15]
His next film roles were in a series of
1999–2002: Worldwide recognition
In 1999, Sarsgaard earned critical recognition in Kimberly Peirce's Boys Don't Cry, where he was cast as notorious killer John Lotter. The film is based on the real-life story of Brandon Teena, who was raped and murdered in 1993 by Lotter and Tom Nissen after they found out that he was a trans man. Boys Don't Cry received overwhelmingly positive acclaim from critics,[22] and his performance was critically well received. According to The Boston Globe, "Peter Sarsgaard ... makes the killer's terrible trajectory not only believable, but grounded in the most mundane clodhopper behavior. He isn't a drooling monster, he's a guy you wouldn't look twice at a bar or a convenience store."[23] A contributor from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer wrote "It's a marvelous performance supported ably by ... Sarsgaard as the unpredictable, sociopathic Lotter."[24] The film was screened at a special presentation at the 2000 Venice Film Festival.[25] In regards to his character, as how Sarsgaard made him "likeable, sympathetic even" was because he wanted the audience "to understand why they would hang out with me. If my character wasn't necessarily likable, I wanted him to be charismatic enough that you weren't going to have a dull time if you were with him."[26] In another interview, Sarsgaard said he felt "empowered" by playing Lotter.[27]
His first leading role was in the 2001 feature
In 2002, Sarsgaard starred in three films,
2003–present: Continued success
2003 marked a significant turning point in Sarsgaard's career when he starred in the feature film
Following the success of Shattered Glass, Sarsgaard starred in several roles. In 2004, he starred in the comedy-drama Garden State, where he played Mark, the sarcastic best friend to Zach Braff's character.[41][42] In the same year, Sarsgaard portrayed Clyde Martin, in the biographical film Kinsey, a movie about the life of Alfred Kinsey, played by Liam Neeson.[43] Kinsey was Sarsgaard's first film role which featured full frontal nudity.[44] Paul Clinton of CNN reported that Sarsgaard's Clyde Martin "stands out" and "confirms that he's without doubt one of the best character actors of his generation."[43] When asked about his kissing scenes with Neeson in Kinsey, Sarsgaard said:
It wasn't as hard as, say, running around with all my gear on in Jarhead. I'd rather go for an awkward moment than physical exertion any day. The only thing that I think [male actors] get freaked out about when they have to do something like kiss a guy in a movie—when to their knowledge they're straight—is that they're afraid they're going to be turned on. And if you're not afraid that you're going to be turned on—meaning that you know what you like—then really it's not that hard.[4]
In 2005, Sarsgaard starred in the drama The Dying Gaul, where he plays Robert Sandrich, a struggling screenwriter who has written a serious love story about a man and his terminally ill partner.[45] The film received favourable reviews.[46] In an interview, Sarsgaard said, he felt like he was playing a character based on Craig Lucas, the director, whom he describes as "elitist in a fun way".[47] Because his character, a screenwriter, is also "elitist," when he sells his soul by compromising his artistic vision, "...the conflict seems bigger. Anyone can sell their soul. Even people with integrity. There's always that temptation to guard against. Which is why it's best to keep as much as possible hidden."[47]
Also in 2005, he had supporting roles in the suspense thriller films The Skeleton Key[48] and Robert Schwentke's Flightplan.[49] In the latter film, Sarsgaard played an air marshall, who is ordered to keep guard of Jodie Foster's character.[49] Flightplan was screened at a special presentation at the 30th annual Toronto International Film Festival in 2005.[47] Despite the mixed reviews,[50] the film was a financial success, earning $223 million worldwide,[21] making it his highest-grossing film to the end of 2008. Sarsgaard's next feature was Jarhead (2005), opposite Jake Gyllenhaal.[6] The movie is based on U.S. Marine Anthony Swofford's 2003 Gulf War memoir of the same name.[6][10]
Sarsgaard hosted
In 2007, he starred in supporting roles in
In 2008, Sarsgaard made his Broadway debut at the Royal Court Theatre of Anton Chekhov's adaptation The Seagull alongside Kristin Scott Thomas, Mackenzie Crook and Carey Mulligan. In the production, he plays, Boris Alexeyevich Trigorin, a tortured writer who drives a rival to suicide and a young lover to ruin.[60][61] For the role, Sarsgaard had been required to speak in a British accent, in which he wanted it to be "less liked by an American audience".[60] Adam Feldman for Time Out praised the production but wrote of Sarsgaard's performance, "Some of the Americans struggle—notably Peter Sarsgaard, who plays Trigorin’s passivity so aggressively that his costars have nothing to work against."[62]
In 2009, Sarsgaard starred alongside Jon Foster and Sienna Miller in the drama The Mysteries of Pittsburgh.[63] It is an adaptation of Michael Chabon's novel of the same name.[64] In the movie, Sarsgaard plays Cleveland, the rebellious bisexual boyfriend of Miller's character. The Mysteries of Pittsburgh premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. His next film appearance was in the thriller Orphan, where he and Vera Farmiga play a married couple who lose a baby and adopt a nine-year-old girl, who is not as innocent as she claims to be.[65][66] Furthermore, in the same year, Sarsgaard starred as David in Lone Scherfig's coming of age film An Education.[67][68] The role required Sarsgaard to speak in a British accent.[67] An Education drew favorable reviews from critics.[69] According to Variety, "Sarsgaard ... marvelously expresses the savoir faire that has such an impact on Jenny [Carey Mulligan]."[70]
Sarsgaard played Mikhail Lvovich Astrov, a country doctor and philosopher, in the
Sarsgaard played a federal agent in the action comedy film Knight and Day, released in June 2010, in which he appeared alongside Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz.[75] In May 2010, it was reported that Sarsgaard would star in Chekhov's play Three Sisters. The production began in January 2011, and Sarsgaard was reunited with Uncle Vanya director Austin Pendleton.[76] In February 2010, it was announced that Sarsgaard had been cast as villain Hector Hammond in the superhero film Green Lantern.[77] The film was released in 2011.[78] He played a supporting role in Woody Allen's drama Blue Jasmine (2013).[79] Sarsgaard also appeared in the American TV series The Killing (2013) as a man on death row perhaps wrongfully convicted for the brutal murder of his wife, a performance which he said included "some of the best acting I have ever done in my life."[80] Sarsgaard appeared in a 2015 Classic Stage Company production of Hamlet in the title role.[81] He portrayed Robert F. Kennedy in Pablo Larraín's Jackie (2016).
Sarsgaard then took a role as Martin Schmidt in the Hulu limited series The Looming Tower (2018), earning a nomination for the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Movie/Miniseries. He returned to television in another Hulu miniseries Dopesick (2021) playing Rick Mountcastle, for which he received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie nomination.[82] Sarsgaard appeared in The Lost Daughter (2021), directed by his wife Maggie Gyllenhaal, and the following year played the role of District Attorney Gil Colson in The Batman (2022). In 2023, he starred opposite Jessica Chastain in the Michel Franco film Memory which premiered at the 80th Venice International Film Festival. Sarsgaard portrayed a man riddled with dementia. He stated, "A lot of time when we see dementia in movies, it's the most extreme stage at the very end and it paralyses us all with fear, and I really didn't want to depict that." For his performance he won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor.[83]
Personal life
In an interview with
Among his most notable romantic relationships, Sarsgaard dated burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese[84] and model and actress Shalom Harlow.[9] Early in his film career, he dated photographer Malerie Marder, a close friend from his days attending Bard College,[7] who had featured Sarsgaard in some of her early work.[85]
Sarsgaard began a romantic relationship with actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, the sister of his close friend Jake Gyllenhaal, in 2002.[86] In April 2006, they announced their engagement, and on May 2, 2009, they married in a small ceremony in Brindisi, Italy.[87][88] They have two daughters, born in October 2006 and April 2012.[89][90]
Sarsgaard is vegan, but says he cooks meat for his children.[91]
In June 2013, Sarsgaard and numerous other celebrities appeared in a video showing support for Chelsea Manning.[92][93]
