Gabriel "Gabe" Nevins (born August 26, 1991) is an actor who is best known for starring in Gus Van Sant’s 2007 film Paranoid Park.

Career

Nevins was cast as the lead of Paranoid Park even though he was auditioning to be a skateboarding extra.[1] The film premiered at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival as one of the 22 films in the competition, and won the special 60th anniversary prize.[2] He was cast as an extra in Wendy and Lucy (2008), Rachel (2010) and Some Days Are Better Than Others (2011). In 2010, he starred in the short film Will.

The photographer Nick Haymes published a collection of photos of Nevins, titled Gabe, in March 2012. It featured photos of him that Haymes had taken since he first met Nevins shortly after the release of Paranoid Park.[3]

Personal life

Nevins attended Rex Putnam High School.[4] Gabe has spiraled out of control and has struggled with mental illness and drug addiction and also homelessness. But, through help from family and friends Gabe has been able to get his life back together and is still occasionally seen with a skate board at some of his favorite skate parks.
