EARLY WORK
Lerman had a passion for movies from a young age, though he started acting "just for fun" and "to do something to get out of school".[16] He began auditioning for roles in the late 1990s, and first appeared in commercials.[19][20] He made his film debut in 2000's The Patriot, playing William Martin, one of the children of Mel Gibson's character. The same year, he appeared in another Mel Gibson film, What Women Want, playing Gibson's character as a child. In 2001's Riding in Cars with Boys, he played the son of Drew Barrymore's character. Lerman has stated that while appearing in his earliest roles as a child, he did not have "any conscious awareness of what I was doing or what was going on"[16] and "didn’t have a good experience".[4]
In 2003, Lerman played nine year-old Luke Chandler in the CBS made-for-television film A Painted House, based on the early life of author John Grisham and set in Black Oak, Arkansas in the early 1950s. A Painted House was filmed in Lepanto and Clarksdale, Mississippi, in 2002.[21][22] A review from the Boston Globe described Lerman as a "promising newcomer",[23] with the Telegraph-Herald commenting on the character having been "quietly and effectively played".[24] The role won him a Young Artist Award for Best Performance by a Leading Young Actor in a television production.[25] He next appeared in the 2004 thriller film The Butterfly Effect, portraying a seven year-old version of Ashton Kutcher's character, Evan Treborn.[26] digitallyOBSESSED's reviewer described Lerman as "definitely a child actor to watch".[27]
Lerman had quit acting for a "year or so" in the early 2000s, when he was ten.[4] He made a "conscious decision" to embrace acting as a profession when he was twelve, having developed an interest in the film making process.[16] In 2004, he was cast in the television series Jack & Bobby, playing one of the title roles, Robert "Bobby" McCallister, a 12 year-old "extremely bright social misfit"[28] in Missouri who was destined to become President of the United States as an adult. The show ran on The WB Television Network during the 2004–2005 season, receiving some positive positive reviews but low ratings,[29][30] and was subsequently canceled, though Lerman won another Young Artist Award for his performance.[31][32] Lerman has stated that he "started taking things seriously" about his career after appearing on the show.[33] The Boston Herald's reviewer mentioned that Lerman's performance had a "blend of vulnerability and strength,"[34] while Entertainment Weekly's reviewer had noted that "Lerman lends Bobby a bedraggled optimism".[35]
