Personal life

Fugit was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. His mother, Jan Clark-Fugit, is a dance teacher and his father, Bruce is an electrical engineer. Fugit is the oldest of three children, he has a younger sister, Jocelyn and a younger brother, Colin. Fugit attended East High School, where he was diagnosed with ADHD. Fugit appeared in a school production of The Twelve Dancing Princesses as the shoemaker, while he was at grade seven. He has been a skateboarder since the age of 15. In the film Saved!, his role for Patrick Wheeler was originally supposed to be a surfer, but the character was changed to a skateboarder due to Fugit's skateboarding experience. Fugit and his best friend, David Fetzer formed "Mushman" by "accident". It was described as a blend of folk and rock. He plays the guitar, sometimes sings and studies flamenco guitar, which he played on the Cavedoll song "MAYDAY" and his song "Brennan's Theme" for the ending scene in Wristcutters: A Love Story.

Career

Fugit played a young rock-fan-turned-reporter in Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous and claimed that his knowledge of 1970s rock music was nil ("I actually thought Led Zeppelin was one person"). He declined the title role in Richard Kelly's Donnie Darko; it went to Jake Gyllenhaal. Fugit played a sweetly geeky, aspiring comic book artist in White Oleander (2002) and a naive drug addict in the indie dark comedy Spun (2003). His next film, Saved! (2004), was a satirical look at the religious right in high school. Fugit played the cool young pastor's skateboarding son and love interest to a pregnant, once-popular teen (Jena Malone) who must re-evaluate her moral positions. In 2005, he co-starred in The Amateurs, an independent comedy about a sleepy town that comes together to film a porno. Fugit and Olivia Wilde starred in Bickford Shmeckler's Cool Ideas and House, M.D.. In 2007, he starred with Shannyn Sossamon in Wristcutters: A Love Story, and played Evra Von in Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant (2009). In November 2010, Fugit starred in Cameron Crowe's adaptation of Benjamin Mee's We Bought a Zoo (2011).
