Justin Chatwin is a Canadian actor of film and television. After making his film debut in the musical comedy Josie and the Pussycats (2001), [1] Chatwin guest-starred in several television series and had minor appearances in two unsuccessful films, Taking Lives and Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (both 2004). That same year, Newsweek magazine singled him out as an "Actor to watch" based on his work in the three-part miniseries Traffic . [2]

Chatwin had his breakthrough performance as Tom Cruise's rebellious son in the blockbuster War of the Worlds (2005), directed by Steven Spielberg. He followed that up by portraying a teenage drug dealer in The Chumscrubber , a black comedy which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Chatwin later headlined the 2007 supernatural thriller The Invisible , and starred as Goku in Dragonball Evolution (2009), an action-adventure film directed by James Wong based on the Japanese manga Dragon Ball .

Throughout the 2010s, Chatwin has found more success on television, starring as a lovesick car thief on the Showtime dramedy Shameless between 2011 and 2015. After a recurring role in the third season of BBC's Orphan Black , Chatwin played a cartoonist in the CBS murder mystery drama American Gothic (2016). That same year, he portrayed superhero Grant Gordon / The Ghost in "The Return of Doctor Mysterio", the 2016 Christmas Special of the science fiction series Doctor Who . Chatwin has also starred as scientist Erik Wallace in the two season Netflix series Another Life . [3]

Simultaneously, Chatwin worked on a number of independent films, playing a diverse spectrum of characters in a variety of genres. He portrayed an Italian dancer in Daniel Roby's disco drama Funkytown (2011), a rock star in Jeffrey St. Jules' sci-fi musical Bang Bang Baby (2014), which earned him a Canadian Screen Awards nomination for Best Supporting Actor, [4] a cat-turned-human in Finn Taylor's romantic comedy Unleashed (2016), a modern-day cowboy in Blake Robbins' western The Scent of Rain and Lightning (2017), a rookie detective in the crime thriller The Assassin's Code (2018), and a free-spirited bartender in the coming-of-age dramedy Summer Night (2019) directed by Joseph Cross.

Chatwin's long-time passion for extreme sports, travelling and motorcycles, [5] led to the documentary series No Good Reason (2020), which follows his journey from Vancouver to Patagonia on motorcycle.
