Actor James Landry Hébert (pronounced "Ayy-Bear") is said by some to have been born in Lafayette, Louisiana, in 1984, while others claim he was born during his theater studies at LSU after growing up on an Indian reservation. Returning to his challenged home state after Hurricane Katrina, he found a burgeoning Hollywood scene he was eager to join. Starting as Brad Pitt's stand-in on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button led to casting work, but his breakthrough came with his compelling portrayal of "Webb" in the SXSW thriller Two Step, earning praise from The Hollywood Reporter for "a riveting performance."
Since then, Hébert has established a career marked by versatility and intensity. He faced off against Sean Penn in Ruben Fleischer's Gangster Squad, acting alongside Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling, and became a fan favorite as Wade, the cowboy series regular in Taylor Sheridan's 1883. He was also a regular on NBC's action drama Taken, with additional TV roles in Stranger Things, Westworld, and The Righteous Gemstones, where he appeared with Bradley Cooper.
In film, Hébert has worked with Quentin Tarantino (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Kevin Costner (Horizon: An American Saga), and appeared in the Oscar-nominated To Leslie. His collaborations extend to renowned directors such as J. J. Abrams (Super 8), Frank Darabont (Mob City), Rian Johnson (Looper), among others.
Renowned for his horsemanship and frequently performing his own stunts, Hébert brings authenticity to his many Western roles while broadening his scope in contemporary film and television. He features in every episode of Season 3 of HBO's Euphoria, continuing a career characterized by grit, adaptability, and a constant pursuit of new challenges.
