Book Paul Dano
Paul Dano is an American actor and filmmaker who moves easily between intimate independent drama and major studio releases. He made his film debut in L.I.E. in 2001 and broke through as Dwayne in Little Miss Sunshine in 2006. His dual role in Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood (2007) earned a BAFTA nomination. He went on to Knight and Day, Cowboys & Aliens, Looper, and two acclaimed 2013 films, 12 Years a Slave and Prisoners. His portrayal of Brian Wilson in Love & Mercy brought a Golden Globe nomination, and the Showtime miniseries Escape at Dannemora earned him a Primetime Emmy nomination. In 2022 he played The Riddler in The Batman and appeared in Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans, which brought a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination, and he later joined Dumb Money. Dano directed and co-wrote Wildlife in 2018 and wrote the comic book The Riddler: Year One. On stage he appeared as a child in Ragtime and later starred on Broadway in A Free Man of Color and True West. He brings intelligence, intensity and a filmmaker's insight to every appearance.
