Garfield most recently worked with director David Fincher on the upcoming film "The Social Network." He previously starred for Spike Jonze on his robot love story "I’m Here," which premiered at Sundance this year. He plays the lead male opposite Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan in Mark Romanek’s "Never Let Me Go," due for release later this year.
Other notable screen credits include Terry Gilliam's "The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus" playing opposite Christopher Plummer, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, Jude Law and the late Heath Ledger, Robert Redford’s "Lions For Lambs," where he starred alongside Redford, Tom Cruise and Meryl Streep; Revolution Films’ “Red Riding Trilogy – 1974” directed by Julian Jarrold, where he lead a stellar cast including Rebecca Hall and David Morrissey, and his unforgettable portrayal of a young ex-con in John Crowley’s “Boy A,” for which he earned the best actor BAFTA in 2008.
Garfield’s career began in theatre and in 2006 his performances in “Beautiful Thing” (Sound Space/Kit Productions), “The Overwhelming,” and “Burn/Chatroom/Citizenship” (Royal National Theatre) won him the Milton Shulman Award for Outstanding Newcomer at the Evening Standard awards and the Jack Tinker Award for Most Promising Newcomer at the Critics Circle Theatre Awards. Other notable theatre credits include “Romeo and Juliet” (Manchester Royal Exchange) and “Kes” (Manchester Royal Exchange), for which he received the Most Promising Newcomer Award at the Manchester Evening News Awards 2004.
Of course this explains why I never heard of him. I sure hope these guys know what they are doing. I'm willing to give Garfield a chance. I thought that Michael Keaton, Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, and even Tobey were bad ideas. However, I was wrong. So, I'm going to sit back and wait for the 3D Spider-Man in 2012.
