Renner first gained attention for his chilling portrayal of a serial killer in the 2002 biopic "Dahmer," for which he earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Actor. He went on to co-star with Colin Farrell and Samuel L. Jackson in the actioner "S.W.A.T." He then starred in the independent features "The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things," directed by Asia Argento, and the acclaimed "Neo Ned," which debuted at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival and also swept the major feature film awards at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, including Best Actor for Renner. Renner also appeared in the 2005 releases "Lords of Dogstown," directed by Catherine Hardwicke; "12 and Holding"; and opposite Academy Award winner Charlize Theron in Niki Caro's "North Country," a fictionalized account of the first major successful sexual harassment case in the U.S.
His subsequent film credits include "A Little Trip to Heaven," with Julia Stiles; Aura Entertainment's independent "Love Comes to the Executioner," written and directed by Kyle Bergersen; the horror sequel "28 Weeks Later"; the crime drama "Take," opposite Minnie Driver; and Andrew Dominik's acclaimed Western "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford," with Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck.
On stage, Renner co-directed and starred in the play "Search and Destroy," which was produced by Barry Levinson and played 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."
Apart from his acting work, Renner also writes, records and performs his own contemporary rock music, and has written songs for Warner Chapel Publishing and Universal Publishing.
In the spring of 2011, Renner and his partner, writer/director Don Handfield, formed The Combine, a production company that will create, develop and produce character-driven content for mainstream audiences.
