From Pollardville to the Oscars
Jeremy Renner, the Modesto actor who used to play in the melodramas at Pollardville, got a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination yesterday for his role as a bomb squad member in “The Hurt Locker.”
Renner, whose star is on the rise, played the dumb but virtuous hero in Pollardville’s 1992 production of “The Drunkard,” among other roles.
After “The Hurt Locker,” Renner played a detective in the now-canceled ABC series “The Unusual.” He’s in a crime drama called “The Town” with Ben Affleck this fall.
