What Ever Happened to Josh Hartnett?

Josh Hartnett and girlfriend Sophia Lie were seen in Soho recently. When I first saw Josh in "The Virgin Suicides," I thought he was the most beautiful guy ever, with a huge career ahead of him. It hasn't quite turned out that way. He's been in nothing of note since -- and I think he had just one straight-to-video credit in all of 2009-2010, (Ouch.) While some might argue that he's chosen a more artsy career path, you could probably more convincingly say that his attempt at mainstream stardom ("Pearl Harbor") just failed miserably. Whatever the case, I'm still a fan. He's sort of like the 21st century of my '90s dream man who never made it big William McNamara. Remember HIM?

He's still hot, no Bomer, but still a hottie...he also chose to live in MN. Anytime you live outside the bubble, you take a chance....

I thought it was rumored he was dealing with drug issues.

He was in the 2006 movie Lucky Number Slevin which, although it wasn't a box office hit, I found very entertaining. You should check it out with your Netflix acct :)

30 Days of Night - imo his best role ever

I second Tim's recommendation of "Lucky Number Slevin" -- v clever film.

William McNamara's high on my Why-Weren't-They_Major-Stars? list, along w/Brad Rowe, Dennis Christopher, William Zabka, Matt Keeslar, and a host of others.
