Built a prolific career across studio blockbusters and small independent films at once, playing Harry Osborn in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy while also writing and directing his own low-budget projects, and earned an Academy Award nomination for playing a climber who amputates his own arm in 127 Hours. He won a Golden Globe for playing filmmaker Tommy Wiseau in The Disaster Artist, which he also directed.
