New Jersey-born Jared Gilman was born in 1998 and managed to leave a remarkable mark in the world of cinema at a very young age. The most important turning point that determined the course of his career was Moonrise Kingdom, directed by Wes Anderson, in 2012. Gilman, who played the role of an illegal scout named Sam Shakusky in the film, gave a magical and extraordinary performance in this production that meets Anderson's original cinema language. Gilman's acting in this film, which took place in 1965 and tells the story of two children who run away with each other and go on an adventure, was highly appreciated by critics. Moonrise Kingdom gained a large international fan base and made Gilman's name known to the world cinema community. After this first big break, Gilman continued his career steadily. He played the character of Michael in 2014's Elsa & Fred; In 2016, he took on a small role in Paterson, which was shaped by director Jim Jarmusch's poetic narrative language. Taking part in these projects, which are different from each other both in terms of genre and narrative style, showed that Gilman is a flexible actor who can adapt to various productions. Combining the energy of a young age with a mature acting, Gilman appeared on the screen as Cy Berger in It Takes Three in 2021 and as Jack in Angry Neighbors in 2022. He gave a remarkable performance as Jed in the 2023 independent thriller Susie Searches. His portrayal of himself in the production titled À la découverte du tournage de Moonrise Kingdom, which documented the behind-the-scenes of Moonrise Kingdom, reflected his commitment to being both an actor and a part of that film. Gilman draws the profile of an actor who embraces the concept of independent cinema and seeks roles in meaningful projects rather than taking shelter in the shadow of major productions.
