Lebanese-born actor Haaz Sleiman first caught the attention of audiences with a wacky role in the 2004 comedy The Ski Trip. He later appeared on shows like 24 and Veronica Mars, but his big break came in 2008, when he scored an Independend Spirit Award nomination for his role in the critically acclaimed drama The Visitor, a film by The Station Agent director Thomas McCarthy. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
