Nick Stahl is a son of businessman William Kent Stahl, and Donna Lynn, a brokerage assistant, and grew up in Texas, where he began appearing in childrenās plays at the age of four.
Stahlās on-screen debut came in 1991 in the TV movie called āStranger at My Doorā, and a year later he appeared in āWoman with a Pastā starring Pamela Reed. He had a bigger role in Mel Gibsonās āThe Man Without a Faceā in 1993, and then he played alongside Susan Sarandon and Sam Shepard in āSafe Passageā in 1994. Nick continued with āTall Taleā (1995) starring Patrick Swayze, Oliver Platt, and Roger Aaron Brown, and had a lead role in āEye of Godā (1997) and in āDisturbing Behaviorā (1998) with James Marsden and Katie Holmes. Stahl ended the ā90s with a minor part in Terrence Malickās Oscar-nominated war drama āThe Thin Red Lineā (1998) starring Jim Caviezel, Sean Penn, and Nick Nolte, which made almost $100 million worldwide and helped Stahl to increase his net worth significantly.
In 2001, Stahl starred alongside Tom Wilkinson, Sissy Spacek, and Marisa Tomei in Todd Fieldās Oscar-nominated drama āIn the Bedroomā; with a budget of a mere $1.7 million, the film grossed over $43 million, which helped Stahl to improve his wealth. Also in 2001, Nick played in Larry Clarkās āBullyā alongside Brad Renfro and Bijou Phillips, while in 2003, he starred in the comedy āBookiesā, and the same year portrayed John Connor in āTerminator 3: Rise of the Machinesā (2003) starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, which garnered more than $430 million at the box office. From 2003 to 2005, Nick played Ben Hawkins in 23 episodes of the Emmy Award-winning series āCarnivĆ leā, while in 2008 he appeared in āQuid Pro Quoā with Vera Farmiga, and āSleepwalkingā with Charlize Theron. Nick ended the decade with a supporting role in āMy One and Onlyā (2009) starring RenĆ©e Zellweger. and in an episode of āLaw & Order: Special Victims Unitā (2009). His net worth was being maintained.
Stahl was very busy in the beginning of this decade, and had roles in such movies as āThe Chameleonā (2010) with Marc-AndrĆ© Grondin, Ellen Barkin, and Famke Janssen, āBurning Palmsā (2011) starring Jamie Chung, Rosamund Pike, and Dylan McDermott, and āOn the Insideā (2011) alongside Olivia Wilde. Most recently, he made āAway from Hereā in 2014 and is currently filming āAmerican Dreamā, but the release date is still unknown.
Regarding his personal life, Nick Stahl was married to actress Rose Murphy from 2009 to 2012 and has a daughter named Marlo with her. His career and marriage were ruined because of drugs and alcohol addictions, on his own admission, so his former wife filed for custody of their child. Stahl has had a couple of incidents with the law: first in 2012, Rose Murphy notified his apparent disappearance, but Stahl was found five days later, and subsequently sent into rehabilitation. The following December, Nick was arrested in a Los Angeles adult movie store on a lewd conduct charge misdemeanour, while in 2013 he was arrested for alleged substance abuse after being āfoundā in a Hollywood motel.

| Quote | |
|---|---|
| 1 | [Interview with Fred Topel, December 2013] Iām not doing a lot of work right now. Iām sort of focusing on life stuff and things are going good, so Iām not really looking a lot into the future at the moment. Thatās sort of whatās necessary for me, so a lot of what Iām focusing on really is my daughter, my family and things like that. If thatās the case, thatās awesome. I love films and acting. Thatās what Iāve always done. Itās really all that I know how to do, so that would be fantastic and Iād love to do it in the future. |
| 2 | (On auditioning for Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)) I went in for the first audition, which led to five or more auditions and two or three screen tests. It was pretty intense ā each time it was one or two hours, really hatching it out. |
| 3 | (2008 quote on landing parts and the politics of Hollywood) I like auditioning; Iāve always felt comfortable with doing it. I mean, Iāve always felt more comfortable in an audition than a meeting. I think itās the same reason why I have such nervousness about public speaking and things like that. But as soon as Iām filming or onstage or something like that, I just never have. Iām kind of in that world, maybe, in character, and so I can do that, no problem. But having to meet some strangers and talk about myself for an hour, itās a lot more difficult for me. So, Iāve never had a problem with auditioning, and especially if itās for something that I really like. You know, all that I have ever been frustrated about, or wanted, was just the opportunity to do it, to audition, and actually have a fair competition. Becauseā¦itās taken me a long time to come to terms with the politics of this, of the town, you know, and sometimes, it sucks to have to abandon a movie that youāre really proud of and then go on and have to do something that you donāt really believe in, because you need money. But Iāve also been really fortunate that Iāve never had to haveā¦a job, a real job, in my life. You know, Iām twenty-eight years old, and thatās pretty amazing. And that feels good. What gets really hard to deal with sometimes, when it comes to the politics of the town ā and by that, I mean if someone has a lot of popularity in the moment, theyāll just get offered something for that reason. But you know, if that [level of popularity] happens with me. Iām obviously gonna have a different take on it. But if Iām not able to even read, to even go in on somethingā¦thatās hard to deal with. Because if Iām up against someone whoās genuinely better for the role, thatās great, I can totally deal with that, thatās fine. Itās the lack of opportunity thatās really hard to deal with sometimes. Itās just part of the business end of things, which has never been my strength. |
| 4 | (On playing āYellow Bastardā in Sin City (2005)) Well, first of all, just to give you kind of the back story on getting that role, it was not a role I was supposed to do. I was just supposed to be in the beginning of the film, when itās me without the make-up, before he later turned into [the Yellow Bastard]. And they had another actor who was set to do the Yellow Bastard role ā and he fell out of the movie, he had a conflict or something, so Robert Rodriguez called me to and he just said, āHey man, maybe you could do both, and maybe we can see that itās you, kind of, through the makeup, and maybe itāll be even betterā. And I thought it was cool because, itās a bigger role obviously, and I got to do more on the film. But I was intimidated by doing this theatrical cartoonish thing. Itās obviously drawn a certain way, and you can get kind of a voice of this crazy character through Frank Millerās writing, but I was really intimidated because I still didnāt know completely what Frank had in mind. This characterā¦when he actually speaks, and he moves around, and his physicality, and I was like, āI donāt know what to do. I have to ā obviously this is really broad, and I have to make this into something big, and something scaryā. But really I was kind of in the dark about it. I was just hoping that what I did synched up with what they wanted. They didnāt fire me, so I guess it was okay. But I donāt ever want to wear that many prosthetics again in my life! It was miserable. Not only grueling time-wise to put it on ā but, you know, just sitting there in it. Itās stiflingly hot, you canāt move. You feel like youāre stuck together. Luckily we only did that characterā¦.I only had makeup on for, I think, five days. It was shot so fast on video, rapid-fire. |
| 5 | (On being a child actor) I had sort of a dual life in a way ā I was going away and doing films, and then coming back, and hanging out with friends, and getting into trouble, and experimenting with drugs, and doing all that stuff, and so my teenage years had some darker times to them, that arenāt the fondest memories for me. |
| 6 | (On Brad Renfroās death and working with him on Bully (2001)) There was a lot of recreational drinking and things like that going on during the shoot. For someone like me, who has been through drugs and drinking, it was pretty easy to spot that Brad had problems. |
| 7 | Iāve been lucky to get to do good films. Thatās all Iāve ever asked for. Acting is the only thing Iāve ever done. A studio film would be great to do. Iām not opposed to any genre or budget. A lot of times the smaller films happen to be the better ones ā thatās just the way it is. But Iām not opposed to doing bigger films, as long as theyāre not god-awful. |
| 8 | (On āCarnivaleā (2003) getting canceled) It ended because there werenāt enough people watching it. Itās pretty simple and comes down to not enough people watching versus the amount of money they spend on each episode. I would say more people come up to me about that than anything else. It was on a premium channel, which narrowed the field of viewers off the bat. It never had the numbers that they wanted. But the fans that it had were very hard-core and loyal fans that loved it. It kept us going for two seasons. |
| 9 | (On his initial reaction to living in Los Angeles) Itās a place built on this industry, and thatās hard to get used to. Whenever your career is not on your mind, then there is always something there to remind you of it. Early on, it was very competitive in that way, and I am not an extremely competitive person. I had to find ways to enjoy it. I had to do my own thing and not get caught up in that kind of rat race. |
| 10 | [on being asked if he would like to appear in Terminator Salvation (2009)] I donāt care really, to be honest. I donāt have much interest. |
| 11 | Iāve always chosen the movies and roles that I do solely by the content. Thatās what Iāve always tried to do. Something like T3 was so unexpected for me, and was not something I can honestly say that I expected to be doing, given the films Iād been in before. I think that the scale of a movie and the budget a lot of times determines the quality. Sometimes you find that there is better material in small and more independent movies. Thereās more risk-taking. I want to keep doing that for the future and choose projects based on the content and the role, and how good those are. And I think the budget of movie to me is somewhat secondary. ā On his career choices. |
| 12 | For Sin City (2005) the director wanted me to talk in a certain voice for this character. So I left my audition on an answering machine. It worked. |
| 13 | I was an escapist, the guy who wanted to get out of school and out of the suburbsā¦Acting saved me. |
| 14 | If I had some fake tanner, Iād like to play āErnesto āCheā Guevaraā ! I think I kind of look like him except for my skin tone. But seriously, Heās one of my idols. |
| 15 | I try to avoid the sweet-ass roles. |
