The son of Bill Pullman and Tamara Hurwitz, Lewis Pullman has forged an identity of his own in film and music. His extraordinary talent and dynamic performances have fallen under the radar recently, but he’s quickly emerging as one of Hollywood’s bright, new stars.
Family Background and Early Life
Lewis Pullman was born in Los Angeles in 1993 and raised in a creative household. His father, Bill Pullman, is a famous actor best known for his roles in “Independence Day” and “Spaceballs.” His mother, Tamara Hurwitz, is a dancer and performer. Lewis grew up in a family steeped in the arts, and she took an early interest in acting.
Breakthrough TV Shows and Movies
Lewis’ acting debut came in the 2013 short film The Tutor. He starred in three more shorts before co-starring in his first feature, “The Ballad of Lefty Brown,” with his dad. His career took off, and he got roles in numerous hit series and movies. Lewis’s breakthrough roles included the 2018 films “The Strangers: Prey at Night” and “Bad Times at the El Royale.” His nuanced portrayal of a troubled bellboy won critical and audience acclaim.
Beyond his movie career, Lewis starred in television series, including Catch-22, based on the classic Joseph Heller novel. His work in the George Clooney-produced series cemented his status as one of his generation’s most talented young actors.
More recently, Lewis appeared in “Top Gun: Maverick,” the long-anticipated sequel to the 1986 classic. The performance as a young fighter pilot named Bob interested fans and critics alike. His versatility as an actor was displayed as he proved he could more than hold his own among the Hollywood heavyweights.
His Passion to Music
In addition to acting, Lewis is passionate about music. Pullman is an Atta Boy drummer, along with Eden Brolin, Freddy Reish, and Dashel Thompson. They released their debut album, Out of Sorts, in 2012, describing it as a “whimsical experiment.” After an eight-year break, they issued their second album, “Big Heart Manners,” in 2020.
Music and acting have been instrumental to Lewis’s artistic trajectory. He leads a double life, excelling at both careers and never losing touch with his audience.
