3. The Joker in “Suicide Squad” (2016)
Jared Leto gives the legendary DC Comics villain a new spin. Fans and reviewers alike were divided on his extravagant performance.
But, to be fair, he only appeared in a few sequences in “Suicide Squad,” so it’s difficult to pass judgment on him. We’ll have to wait and see whether Leto gets another chance at the role in a film with more screen time.

6. Paul Gardener in “Urban Legend” (1998)
Even Jared Leto couldn’t escape the slasher movie frenzy of the late 1990s.
In this film, he co-stars Joshua Jackson, Rebecca Gayheart, and Tara Reid as the leader of a group of friends who are plagued by urban legends that murder them one by one. Jared Leto gained some clout because of this film, which he made early in his career.
7. Mr. Nobody (2009)
Nemo Nobody, a 118-year-old man, is the last mortal on Earth in 2092, with the rest having attained immortality.
In an interview, he describes the problem a young nine-year-old Nemo had after his parents divorced when he had to choose between accompanying his mother or staying with his father. The film explores all of Nemo’s possible lives based on this single decision.
8. Tobias Jacobs in “Girl, Interrupted” (1999)
After “Urban Legend,” Jared Leto earned a nice role as Winona Ryder’s ex-boyfriend a year later. Toby (Leto) tries to persuade Susanna (Ryder) to join him in Canada, but she refuses and stays in the mental institution where she is.
If you can look past the awful artificial beard he’s wearing for the job, the heated argument between the two reveals Jared Leto’s dramatic chops.
9. Steve Prefontaine in “Prefontaine” (1997)
Jared Leto plays American long-distance runner Steve Prefontaine, who was one of the faces who helped begin the “running boom” in the 1970s before his sad death at the age of 24.
It’s one of the first times Jared Leto proves he’s more than just a nice face, as he nails Prefontaine’s fierce persona.
10. Albert Sparma in “The Little Things” (2021)
Jared Leto’s most recent role is one you can’t ignore.
Jared Leto, who plays a man suspected of being a serial murderer, just takes over the film once he appears, thanks to his long greasy hair and a scary expression – he never blinks.
