Trivia

Son of John Huston and Zoe Sallis

Half-brother of Anjelica Huston and Tony Huston

Grandson of Walter Huston.

He has played the love interests for real-life best friends Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman. In 21 Grams (2003), he plays Watts' beloved husband whose loss (along with their daughters) destroys her life, and in Birth (2004), he plays Kidman's fiancée, who becomes jealous when he vies for her attention with a 10 year old boy who claims to be her deceased husband.

In The Aviator (2004), he works with Cate Blanchett, who plays Katharine Hepburn, star of his father's film The The African Queen (1951).

Uncle of Jack Huston.

In two of his films, he kills a character by stomping on them, The Proposition (2005) and 30 Days of Night (2007).

He is known for his ear for dialects, which often vary from role to role for him. This may be due partially to his assimilation to various regions while his parents moved him around as a kid.

In 1943, his grandfather Walter Huston starred in a film called Edge of Darkness (1943). In 2009, he starred in a film with the same name Edge of Darkness (2010), based on the British mini-series.

His divorce to Katie Evans was never finalized. She committed suicide in 2008.

Personal Quotes

"Sometimes film is just the family business. Some families are generations of carpenters or farmers, or they make clothes, or they're all lawyers. I'm in the family business."

"Why should I ever get fed up talking about my father? He was a brilliant, colorful man who left us with thousands of memories. Most people remember his films, but I've got anecdotes and advice and episodes of real life tucked away inside my head. I'm always amazed that there are more to come out, but one day something triggers something off and a new memory of him emerges, like a ghost."

"I seem to play a lot of losers."
