Since the 2000s, Leto has been nominated for awards for his work in such films as American Psycho (2000), Highway (2002), Lord of War (2005), Lonely Hearts (2006), Chapter 27 (2007), and Mr. Nobody (2009).

Leto wanted to help his family and became a dishwasher at small snack-bar at 12, and he was a doorman at 16. Leto later co-starred with Christina Ricci in The Last of the High Kings and appeared in Switchback. For the role, Leto immersed himself in the runner’s life, meeting with members of the family and Prefontaine’s friends.
