Biography

Early life

Stahl was born in Harlingen, Texas, the son of Donna Lynn, a brokerage assistant.2 He was raised in Plano as well as Richardson and currently lives in Austin.

Career

The 1993 film The Man Without a Face, co-starring Mel Gibson, helped boost his career at the age of 13. His first professional casting was in Stranger at My Door, although he had been acting in children's plays since he was four years old.

Recent films include How to Rob a Bank (2007), Sleepwalking (2008), Quid Pro Quo (2008). Stahl has played two villains: Bobby Kent in the film Bully and Roark Jr./Yellow Bastard in Sin City.

Stahl did not reprise his role as John Connor in Terminator Salvation. Instead Christian Bale took over. Stahl noted the film's concept as a "a jump to the future, so my character will be quite a bit older."3 Stahl is slated to star as Max Matheson in the sequel to Mirrors, directed by Victor Garcia4 and penned by Matt Venne.5
