Patrick Raymond Fugit (/ˈfjuːɡɪt/;[1] born October 27, 1982) is an American actor. He has appeared in the films Almost Famous (2000), White Oleander (2002), Saved! (2004) and Wristcutters: A Love Story (2006), and portrayed Kyle Barnes in the Cinemax series Outcast. He also played Owen in The Last of Us Part II.
Early life
Fugit was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. His mother, Jan Clark-Fugit, is a dance teacher, and his father, Bruce Fugit, is an electrical engineer.[2][3] Fugit is the oldest of three children: he has a younger sister and a younger brother. Fugit attended East High School. He appeared in a school production of The Twelve Dancing Princesses as the shoemaker when he was in seventh grade. He has been a skateboarder since he was fifteen.[3]
Career
Fugit and his best friend, David Fetzer, formed a folk/rock band "Mushman", in which Fugit plays the guitar and sometimes sings. Fugit studies flamenco guitar, which he played on the Cavedoll song "MAYDAY" and his song "Brennan's Theme" for the ending scene in Wristcutters: A Love Story. Fugit played a young rock-fan-turned-reporter in Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous and claimed that his knowledge of 1970s rock music was nil ("I actually thought Led Zeppelin was one person"). Fugit played an aspiring comic book artist in White Oleander (2002) and a naive drug addict in the dark comedy Spun (2003). His next film, Saved! (2004), was a satirical look at the religious right in high schools. Fugit's character was originally a surfer, but it changed into a skateboarder due to his skateboarding experience.[4] Fugit starred in The Amateurs and played Evra Von in Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant (2009).[5] In 2016, he joined the cast of Cinemax's television series Outcast. In 2020, Fugit was cast in a lead role on ABC's pilot for Thirtysomething(else), a sequel to Thirtysomething.[6]
