first acting gig as a fake perp for
police training exercises by then he was
living in San Francisco and studying at
the American Conservatory Theater
however he wanted to pursue acting work
more vigilantly
so he relocated to Los Angeles in 1993
while there he took various odd jobs on
movie sets but his most impressive
acting work came when he co-directed and
starred in the play Search and Destroy
he began working more frequently and in
1995 Renner finally found himself in
front of a film camera as an
underachieving student in the cult hit
national lampoon’s senior trip I am
concerned about julissa he wouldn’t wake
up one day and realize that you wasted
all of your high school years studying
and you’re gonna wake up and realize
you’re a loser he then won work on
several television shows including a
recurring role on the Buffy the Vampire
Slayer spin-off angel in 1999 despite
his newfound success he was still
supplementing his income by renovating
houses Renner made his breakthrough in
2002 by landing a starring role as the

to a mental hospital and then falls in
love with a black girl he believes to be
the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler no

me too okay though his career was
already on the rise it was his role as a
bomb specialist in Kathryn Bigelow’s
