Career
Career
Fugit's career launched when he was cast as the young rock-fan-turned-reporter in Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous. Fugit said that he did not have any knowledge of 1970s rock music before starting the music-laden project. Fugit played an aspiring comic book artist in White Oleander (2002) and a naive drug addict in the dark comedy Spun (2003). His next film, Saved! (2004), was a satirical look at the religious right in high schools. Fugit's character was originally a surfer, but it changed into a skateboarder due to his skateboarding experience. Fugit starred in The Amateurs and played Evra Von in Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant (2009). In 2011, Fugit was cast in We Bought A Zoo, another Cameron Crowe film. In 2016, he joined the cast of Cinemax's television series Outcast. He stated he enjoyed playing a father but worried that not being one in real life at the time might make him seem awkward. In 2020, Fugit was cast in a lead role on ABC's pilot for Thirtysomething(else), a sequel to Thirtysomething; however, the pilot was scrapped by ABC later that same year.
Personal life

Fugit and his best friend, David Fetzer, formed a folk rock band, Mushman, in which Fugit played the guitar and sometimes sang. Fetzer died in 2012.

Growing up in Salt Lake City, Fugit says he was "the weird kid" in school because he learned ballet as his mother was a ballet teacher and because he was not Mormon but attended a predominantly Mormon school. • Illustration — Fugit in 2016 Fugit has a child with his long-term partner, actress Jennifer Del Rosario.
