Biography |
Lucas York Black is an American film and television actor.
He is best known for his roles in Sling Blade, The War and
as Caleb Temple on the short-lived 1995 television series,
American Gothic.
Without any formal training as an actor, Lucas's first film
debut was in the 1994 Kevin Costner film, The War. This role
helped him get the role as Caleb Temple in CBS's American
Gothic. While the show was only on for one year, the
selective young actor garnered meatier roles in Sling Blade,
Ghosts of Mississippi and The X-Files: Fight the Future.
In 1998, Lucas was offered the lead part in The Horse
Whisperer. However, when he was told that he would need to
change his voice for the part, he rejected the role,
believing that actors should choose parts where they could
be themselves.
After Lucas's graduation in 2001, the Calvin Klein model
could be seen in Friday Night Lights, Cold Mountain and
Jarhead. He is currently in the male lead of Justin Lin's
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. |
