Raised in Bossier City, Louisiana, Leto's artistic journey began with a focus on visual arts and led to his enrollment at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. However, it was the world of acting that first brought him into the public eye. His breakthrough role came in 1994 when he starred as Jordan Catalano in the critically acclaimed television series My So-Called Life. This opened doors for him in Hollywood, leading him to feature in several successful films including Requiem for a Dream and Fight Club. In addition to his acting career, Leto is the lead vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and main songwriter for Thirty Seconds to Mars, a band he formed in 1998 with his older brother Shannon Leto. The band has released five studio albums and gained significant commercial success with hits like "The Kill" and "This is War".

Leto's diverse talents have earned him numerous accolades throughout his career. His portrayal of a transgender woman in Dallas Buyers Club won him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, demonstrating his ability to embody complex characters with authenticity and sensitivity. Despite his success in both the film and music industries, Leto remains committed to pushing the boundaries of his craft, continually seeking out challenging roles and innovative musical ventures. His dynamic career is a testament to his versatility and relentless dedication to his artistry.
