Renner will be seen starring alongside Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck playing a key member of James’ gang, Wood Hide. The film is slated for a 2007 release.

In Warner Brothers’ North Country Renner starred opposite Academy Award® winner Charlize Theron. A fictionalized account of the first major successful sexual harassment case in the U.S., Renner is at the center of the unfolding drama as ‘Bobby Sharp.’ Working with ‘Josie Aimes’ (Theron) at the mine in their hometown, ‘Bobby’ often clashes with the single mother over his view that women shouldn’t work in such a demanding environment. Their disagreements drive the drama, leading ‘Josie’ to file a class action lawsuit against the company.

Renner has been on a fast-paced production schedule the past few years. He has been seen in A Little Trip to Heaven, where he again refined his skill for dark troubled characters. Starring opposite Julia Stiles, Renner’s diabolical con man ‘Kelvin’ breaks out of prison to find his partner-in-crime/lover ‘Isold’ (Stiles), murdering her current lover, faking his own death and convincing her to join him in a new scheme. The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things, directed by Asia Argento as adapted from the critically acclaimed novel by J.T. Leroy. Columbia Pictures’ Lords of Dogtown for helmer Catherine Hardwicke and Aura Entertainment’s independent film Love Comes to the Executioner, written and directed by Kyle Bergersen.

He was seen in the summer 2003 hit S.W.A.T. opposite Colin Farrell and Samuel L. Jackson.

The one role that put Renner on the map and that earned the actor an Independent Spirit Award nomination, was his role as ‘Jeffrey Dahmer’ in the indie hit Dahmer.

With a background in theater, Renner keeps in “shape” by performing in plays throughout the Los Angeles area. His most memorable was “Search and Destroy,” which he not only starred in but also co-directed, and was produced by Barry Levinson to stellar reviews. Daily Variety said, “Renner is excellent as a low-keyed sociopath,” while L.A. Weekly boasted “...dapper, would be wise guy, Renner is terrific in finding eccentric comedy...expertly executed.”

Between film and theater, he finds the time to write, record, and perform his own music brand of contemporary rock. Renner has written songs for Warner Chapel Publishing and Universal Publishing.
