Timothée Chalamet Career
Timothée Chalamet began his acting career as a child artist appearing in a number of commercials and also acted in the two horror short films, ‘Sweet Tooth’ and ‘Clown’, in 2008.
In 2009, he made his television debut playing murder victim Eric Foley in the episode ‘Pledge’ of the long-running television series ‘Law & Order’, followed by a minor role in the made-for-television film ‘Loving Leah’.
He made his stage debut in 2011, playing 12 years old sexually curious boy Nicholas in the Off-Broadway play ‘The Talls’, which is a coming-of-age comedy set in the 1970s. His excellent acting in the play was praised by the chief theatre critic of ‘New York Daily News’.
In 2012, he bagged two recurring roles: playing Luke in the drama series ‘Royal Pains’ and Finn Walden in the spy-thriller series ‘Homeland’. For the latter, he shared a nomination for a ‘Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series’ with the rest of the cast.
He made his feature film debut with a small role in the Jason Reitman-directed drama film ‘Men, Women & Children’, which was a critical and commercial failure. The same year, he received positive reviews for playing the younger version of Sam, the co-lead in the comedy film ‘Worst Friends’, which had limited theatrical release.
However, his biggest role that year was portraying younger Tom Cooper, the son of the lead character played by Matthew McConaughey, in Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster sci-fi movie ‘Interstellar’. The film was a huge success at the box office and also received praise from critics for exceptional performance from the cast.
In Andrew Droz Palermo’s 2015 fantasy-thriller ‘One & Two’, he played one of the leads, 16-year-old Zac who, along with his sister Eva, discovers supernatural abilities when their mother fall ill. Later that year, he portrayed the younger version of Stephen Elliott, the character played by James Franco, in Pamela Romanowsky’s crime thriller ‘The Adderall Diaries’, and Charlie Cooper in the Christmas comedy ‘Love the Coopers’.
He returned to stage in February 2016 after being handpicked by playwright and director John Patrick Shanley and producer Scott Rudin to play Jim Quinn in the autobiographical play ‘Prodigal Son’ at Manhattan Theatre Club. His portrayal of a young Shanley, a misfit Bronx kid in a prestigious New Hampshire prep school set in 1963, earned rave reviews from critics and won him many awards and nominations.
In 2016, he played the troubled student Billy opposite Lily Rabe in the independent film ‘Miss Stevens’. Comparing him to James Dean, Stephen Holden of ‘The New York Times’ stated that he did not see a better performance of the climactic speech from ‘Death of a Salesman’.
His breakthrough role was starring as Elio Perlman, a 17-year-old Italian boy in the 1980s who falls in love with his father’s assistant Oliver, in the 2017 coming-of-age drama film ‘Call Me by Your Name’. His hard work of learning to speak Italian, play the guitar and the piano paid off as he received nomination in the ‘Best Actor’ category in many prestigious awards events, including ‘Golden Globe’ and ‘Oscar’.
Later in 2017, he received positive reviews for portraying Daniel Middleton in the film ‘Hot Summer Nights’ and Kyle Scheible in Greta Gerwig’s critically acclaimed solo directorial debut, ‘Lady Bird’. The same year, he appeared alongside Christian Bale as soldier Philippe DeJardin in Scott Cooper’s ‘Hostiles’.
In 2018, he will portray methamphetamine addicted boy Nic Sheff in the upcoming drama film ‘Beautiful Boy’ based on the memoir of the same name by David Sheff. He is also slated to co-star with Selena Gomez in the Woody Allen film ‘A Rainy Day in New York’ and would play Henry V of England in David Michôd’s film ‘The King’.
