He went on to try youth theater, where he acted in productions of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Guys and Dolls and attracted attention from a talent scout. Originally interested in becoming a painter, he decided to become a film actor while working in a video rental shop, where he became acquainted with films such as Trainspotting, 12 Monkeys, and The Usual Suspects.{{Cite web |last=Sanguino |first=Juan |date=May 26, 2021 |title=Why Josh Hartnett left Hollywood, and why he's back: "I decided to have a life" |url=https://english.elpais.com/usa/2021-05-26/why-josh-hartnett-left-hollywood-and-why-hes-back-i-decided-to-have-a-life.html |access-date=June 28, 2023 |website=EL PAÍS English |language=en |archive-date=August 16, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240816173917/https://english.elpais.com/usa/2021-05-26/why-josh-hartnett-left-hollywood-and-why-hes-back-i-decided-to-have-a-life.html |url-status=live}}{{Cite news |last=Cooke |first=Rachel |date=April 21, 2002 |title=Hart throb |language=en-GB |work=The Observer |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2002/apr/21/features.magazine |access-date=June 28, 2023 |issn=0029-7712 |archive-date=August 16, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240816173922/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2002/apr/21/features.magazine |url-status=live}}
After Hartnett graduated from high school in 1996, he moved to Purchase, New York, to attend the Conservatory of Theatre Arts & Film at the State University of New York at Purchase. He was expelled after writing a letter to the dean contending that the college's evaluation system stifled students' creativity. At the age of 19, Hartnett moved to Los Angeles at the recommendation of his manager, Nancy Kremer, who had previously helped him book television commercials.{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JQh2332NW5sC&pg=PA6 |title=Josh Hartnett: American Idol |first=Lorelei |last=Lanum |publisher=Touchstone |year=2002 |isbn=978-0743242738}}{{Cite news |last=Cooke |first=Rachel |date=April 21, 2002 |title=Hart throb |language=en-GB |work=The Observer |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2002/apr/21/features.magazine |access-date=June 28, 2023 |issn=0029-7712 |archive-date=August 16, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240816173922/https://www.theguardian.com/film/2002/apr/21/features.magazine |url-status=live}}
Career
Shortly after arriving in Los Angeles, he caught an improbable break, landing a part in the short-lived drama series Cracker on ABC. His first feature film was Halloween H20: 20 Years Later, in which he played the son of character Laurie Strode. Released on August 5, 1998, it performed well at the box office.
Hartnett then developed a successful film career, appearing in the major films The Faculty (1998), The Virgin Suicides (1999), and Black Hawk Down (2001). In 2001, he starred in the war drama Pearl Harbor. He was originally scheduled to play the role of Tino in Deuces Wild, but dropped out to star in Pearl Harbor. Also in 2001, he starred in O, an adaptation of William Shakespeare's Othello set in an American high school, as Hugo, the film's version of Iago. In 2002, he starred in the romantic comedy 40 Days and 40 Nights.
In the early 2000s, Hartnett was approached several times to play the role of Clark Kent / Superman for a project originally helmed by Brett Ratner but always turned it down, not wanting to commit to a predicted ten-year role.{{cite web |url=http://movies.about.com/od/wickerpark/a/wickerjh083004_2.htm |first=Rebecca |last=Murray |title=Interview with Josh Hartnett, From "Wicker Park" |publisher=movies.about.com |date=June 17, 2010 |access-date=February 5, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120330193601/http://movies.about.com/od/wickerpark/a/wickerjh083004_2.htm |archive-date=March 30, 2012}}{{cite web |author=The MovieWeb Team |url=http://www.movieweb.com/news/NEazAgcd32cIch |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120905032209/http://www.movieweb.com/news/NEazAgcd32cIch |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 5, 2012 |title=Josh Hartnett up for SUPERMAN...again? |publisher=movieweb.com |date=April 22, 2003 |access-date=February 5, 2012}} Hartnett said of his decision, "It just wasn't the kind of movie I wanted to do. I turned down other superhero roles as well." He was also considered for, but not offered, the role of Batman in Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins, which ultimately went to Christian Bale.{{Cite web |last=Bergeson |first=Samantha |date=2023-07-20 |title=Christopher Nolan Clarifies Josh Hartnett Was Never Offered Batman Role: 'It Never Got That Far' |url=https://www.indiewire.com/news/general-news/christopher-nolan-josh-hartnett-batman-1234886403/ |access-date=2024-08-06 |website=IndieWire |language=en-US |archive-date=August 16, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240816173925/https://www.indiewire.com/news/general-news/christopher-nolan-josh-hartnett-batman-1234886403/ |url-status=live}}
Hartnett was chosen as one of Teen People{{'}}s "21 Hottest Stars Under 21" in 1999, Teen People{{'}}s "25 Hottest Stars under 25", and one of People{{'}}s "50 Most Beautiful People", both in 2002. He was also voted Bliss magazine's "3rd Sexiest Male". During this period, he was marketed as a teen idol and a potential megastar; his unease with this public image eventually led to his disillusionment with pursuing roles in high-profile films.
Hartnett's next films included Hollywood Homicide (2003), Wicker Park (2004), Mozart and the Whale (2005), Sin City (2005), and Lucky Number Slevin (2006). He followed up these roles with the 2006 drama-mystery The Black Dahlia, in which he played a detective investigating the notorious real-life murder of waitress Elizabeth Short. Hartnett had been cast in the role five years before the film was produced, remaining committed to appearing in the movie because he liked the subject matter.{{cite web |url=http://movies.about.com/od/theblackdahlia/a/dahliajh090606.htm |first=Rebecca |last=Murray |title=Exclusive Interview with The Black Dahlia Star Josh Hartnett |publisher=movies.about.com |access-date=February 5, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607051329/http://movies.about.com/od/theblackdahlia/a/dahliajh090606.htm |archive-date=June 7, 2011}}
Among his 2007 roles were Resurrecting the Champ and the graphic novel-based 30 Days of Night, in which he played a small-town sheriff. Hartnett described the second film as "supernatural, but kind of a western". He was going to play trumpet player Chet Baker in the film The Prince of Cool but did not agree with the producer's ideas and left the project.{{cite news |url=http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/natural_resources/article1779692.ece |work=The Times |location=London |title=Global Cool is hot on carbon emissions |date=May 12, 2007 | access-date=February 1, 2011 | archive-date=June 12, 2011 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612150713/http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/natural_resources/article1779692.ece | url-status=dead}}

Regarding fame, Hartnett has said: "I know what it's like to be in that whole world. I was up there for a couple of years, and it was uncomfortable. I think trying to stay at the top is a shortcut to unhappiness." Hartnett took a 15-month break from acting, saying: "I spent a bit of time really thinking about whether this was the right thing for me."[https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/whats-on/film-tv/hell-stay-out-of-limelight-1630334 "He'll stay out of limelight"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160614184102/http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/whats-on/film-tv/hell-stay-out-of-limelight-1630334 |date=June 14, 2016}}.
