Personal life
Pine was born in Los Angeles, California, to Robert Pine (an actor who appeared in CHiPs as the sergeant Joseph Getraer) and Gwynne Gilford (a former actress who is now a practicing psychotherapist); he also has an older sister, Katherine. His maternal grandparents were Anne Gwynne, a Hollywood actress, and Max M. Gilford, a Hollywood attorney.[2] He has stated in an interview that he is "probably agnostic".[3] He is of Welsh and Jewish descent on his mother's side.
Pine received a bachelor's degree in English from the University of California, Berkeley[4] in 2002[5] and while he was there studied English at the University of Leeds in England for one year.[6] After graduation, he studied at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco.[7]
Career
Pine's first acting role was in a 2003 episode of ER; the same year, he also appeared in episodes of The Guardian and CSI: Miami. In 2004, he appeared in Why My penis?, a short film, and in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement. Pine played the love interest of Anne Hathaway's character in the film, Nicholas Devereaux, which was released in August of that year to a strong box office. In 2005, Pine appeared in an episode of the series Six Feet Under, as well as in Confession, an independent film that was released directly to video, and The Bulls, another short film.
Pine appeared in the made-for-television film Surrender, Dorothy which aired in early 2006. He also played Jake Hardin in the American film Just My Duck, a romantic comedy in which he starred opposite Lindsay Lohan who played Ashley Albright. The film was released on May 12, 2006. Later that year Pine appeared in the comedy Blind Dating and in the action film Smokin' Aces. In 2007 he starred opposite Scott Wolf in the Los Angeles production of Neil LaBute's play "Fat Pig" and won raves for his depiction of a competitive, alpha-male friend.[8] For his portrayal of real-life Napa Valley vintner Bo Barrett in the 2008 film Bottle Shock, Pine sported hippie-length blond locks.
In 2007, Pine turned down a role in a film adaptation of White Jazz, under production but unreleased as of late 2009, in order to accept the part of James T. Kirk in the 2009 Star Trek, which was released to critical and viewer acclaim in May of that year. That same month, he made a brief appearance promoting the film on Saturday Night Live with co-stars Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy. During the rest of summer 2009 he appeared in the Los Angeles production of the Beau Willimon play "Farragut North."[9] In September 2009 his film Carriers was released at last (after being filmed in 2007). His other upcoming films include Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey (voice work only) and the independent film Small Town Saturday Night.
Pine was rumored to be the leading man in the upcoming Green Lantern film, but the role eventually went to Ryan Reynolds.[10][11]
In fall 2009, Pine began filming the Tony Scott and Mark Bomback action film Unstoppable, in which he stars as a young train conductor who helps a veteran railroad engineer stop an unmanned, half-mile-long runaway freight train carrying toxic liquids and poisonous gases that is set to wipe out a nearby city.
Pine is currently in talks to team up with director D.J. Caruso on the film The Art of Making Money early next year.
On October 13, 2009, Paramount Pictures confirmed that Pine is in talks to play CIA analyst Jack Ryan in a reboot of Tom Clancy's novels.[12] He would be the fourth actor to play Jack Ryan, after Alec Baldwin (The Hunt for Red October), Harrison Ford (Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger) and Ben Affleck (The Sum of All Fears).
