It taught me ... about the discipline about performance ... Every morning she had a duck party, she would wake up very early and tune her guitar and warm up her voice, and it taught me that you could take performance seriously. I think a lot of actors have trouble taking things seriously, ... but it's really like anything else in the world ... So it gave me the confidence to take it seriously and not make me feel silly for indulging in a role."— Eisenberg, on the influence his mother's previous job as a children's clown had on his acting [2]Eisenberg was born in Queens, New York, and grew up in East Brunswick, New Jersey. His mother, Amy (née Fishman), who now teaches cross cultural sensitivity in hospitals, previously worked as a clown at children's parties and choreographer for a Catholic high school for 20 years.[2][3][4]His father, Barry Eisenberg, drove a taxicab, then worked at a hospital, and later became a college professor, teaching sociology.[5][6][7]He has two sisters, Hallie Kate Eisenberg, a former child actress who was once famous as the "Pepsi girl" in a series of commercials.

When he was a senior, he received his breakthrough role in the independent comedy-drama film Roger Dodger.[5]His work in the film prevented Eisenberg from enrolling at New York University.[22][23] Instead, Eisenberg would go on to study anthropology and contemporary architecture at The New School in Greenwich Village,[24] where he majored in liberal arts, with a concentration in democracy and cultural pluralism.[23]Eisenberg struggled to fit in at school due to an anxiety disorder, and began acting in plays at an early age.[25]When he was 7, he starred as Oliver Twist in a children's theater production of the musical Oliver!, and by the age of 12 he was an understudy in the 1996 Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke.

Filming took place in New York in 2008.[36]During the late 2000s, he also had roles in the independent films Solitary Man, playing college student Daniel, and Camp Hell, a horror film directed by George Van Buskirk.[37][38]2009–2011: Breakthrough and critical successsource image: Jesse Eisenberg: filmography and biography on movies.film-cine.comJesse Eisenberg's breakthrough starring role was in Zombieland. The horror-comedy, which saw him with Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin on a roadtrip through a post-zombie apocalypse America, was a sleeper hit.[39]In 2010, he portrayed Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg in the film The Social Network, for which he earned the Best Actor Award from the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures,[40]and nominations for Best Actor at the BAFTA Awards, Golden Globes, and Academy Awards. According to the film's director, David Fincher, both he and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin knew Eisenberg was the one for the role as soon as they watched his audition tape, despite Eisenberg's own anxieties about his audition.[41]On November 22, 2010, Eisenberg was honored, along with Whoopi Goldberg, Joycelyn Engle, and Harvey Krueger, at the Children at Heart Celebrity Dinner Gala and Fantasy Auction, to benefit the children of the Chernobyl disaster.

According to the lawsuit, Eisenberg agreed to appear in the film as a favor to his friends. He was on set for one day of filming in 2007, earned about $3,000,[53] and logged only a few minutes of total screentime.[54]Because of his minimal involvement in the production, he was surprised to see that his face was prominently featured on the cover of the DVD, implying that he starred in the film. His lawsuit asserts various California law causes of action, including claims for unfair business practices and publicity rights.[55]In 2013, Eisenberg reunited with Woody Harrelson for the magician heist film thriller Now You See Me, playing a world-famous close-up magician and street performer recruited into a secret group of elite magicians to pull off bank heists with magic tricks, redistributing the money from a wealthy businessman (Michael Caine) to victims of his corrupt capitalist schemes.

In an interview with Variety, Eisenberg talked about his experience walking with Green, stating, "His knowledge about the specifics of New York City is so unbelievable, whether it be why a fire hydrant is this color to why graffiti on this street matches graffiti in Green Point, Brooklyn, because the artist has a cousin and they do a similar tag."[90]The film premiered at the 2018 South by Southwest Film Festival.Upcoming projectsEisenberg is creating, writing, and directing a comedy adaptation of Bream Gives Me Hiccups with Jax Media, starring Parker Posey, Victor Rasuk, and Elliott Smith.

In an article for The Telegraph, Brooks suggests Eisenberg as an alternative male role model for young men. Describing stories he wished he had known as a child, Brooks writes, "Jesse Eisenberg spent his [youth] in tears at the prospect of school." He further elaborates on the example, writing, "You show boys men who express themselves, candidly and without embarrassment, and you show them men who are kind, and thoughtful, who treat women like human beings, and who pursue creative arts, devote themselves to academia, or forego competition when more important concerns arise."[122]HealthEisenberg has obsessive–compulsive disorder and is open about it. He said of his condition: "I touch the tips of my fingers in a weird way; I don't step on cracks; if I'm going onto a new surface – be it carpet to concrete, or concrete to wood, or wood to concrete, any new surface – I have to make sure all parts of my feet touch the ground equally before I touch that new thing. So I'll often hesitate before walking into a new room."[123]He has also spoken about going to therapy to manage his anxieties – OCD, separation anxiety, social anxiety – and depression, the latter of which he struggled with a lot when he was younger, as well as how acting helped him better cope.[124][125]Eisenberg teamed up with Child Mind Institute in their #MyYoungerSelf project, where "each day in May a prominent individual will speak to his or her younger self about growing up with a mental health or learning disorder."

It's saved so many lives."[132]In an interview with Variety in March 2018, Eisenberg stated that he has raised almost $1 million for the shelter.[90]Eisenberg is also a cast member with Theater of War, a performing arts non-profit that presents readings of Sophocles's Ajax and Philoctetes to military and civilian communities across the United States and Europe.[133]"As an actor, sometimes you feel limited by the role you're in; stories without much meaning. [Theatre of War] allows you do something that has more substance and benefits people ... It's a greater purpose than just entertainment," Eisenberg said of the organization.[134]Eisenberg also works in performing for Voices of a People's History of the United States, which is an organization that works to "encourage civic engagement and to further history education by bringing the rich history of the United States to life through public readings of primary source materials."[135]He read Howard Zinn's "The Problem is Civil Obedience" (1970) for Voices of a People's History as part of "NYU Portraits" 2011 event.[136]Eisenberg is involved with Keep America Beautiful, which "[engages] individuals to take greater responsibility for improving their community environments,"[137] as well as Shoe Revolt, a "hybrid start-up company that auctions celeb shoes to raise funds to deploy a social franchising model which aims to educate, engage, and empower youth to take the lead in the fight against domestic sex trafficking through peer-to-peer involvement, training, activism and social enterprise development."[138]On September 12, 2016, Eisenberg, as well as Cate Blanchett, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Peter Capaldi, Douglas Booth, Neil Gaiman, Keira Knightley, Juliet Stevenson, Kit Harington, and Stanley Tucci, featured in a video from the United Nations' refugee agency UNHCR to help raise awareness about the global refugee crisis.

Never Let Me GoThis science-fiction (sci-fi) book written by the Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro is all about the intricacies of friendship, love, freedom, childhood, loss, and approval. Never Let Me Go primary characters are faulty, similar to ordinary people, even though they are”clones’ ‘in a dystopian world. This publication is an emotional read that teaches valuable life lessons and among the essential books to read before you expire.Beloved by Toni MorrisonBeloved’ is very important to read for a lot of reasons. This is the simple fact that a lady of color had won the Pulitzer with this book. This much-loved classic is a review of the slave trade in the USA. The debilitating soul of Beloved’ that haunts the primary character is emblematic of America’s corrupt past.Things Fall ApartChinua Achebe’sThings Fall Apart’ is an illuminating glimpse into African American culture and literature. The publication deals with the changing power dynamics in colonized Africa. The protagonist, Okonkwo, finds it hard to accept regulations and standards enforced in his area. Inspired by bibliophiles around the planet,’Things Fall Apart’ is one of the best books to see before you die, since it reinforces your view about what culture and community imply.Frankenstein Mary ShellyFrankenstein is also a remarkably significant contribution to the literary world. It can readily be the first sci-fi publication to be written. The storyline revolves around the obsessed scientist, Frankenstein, and the creature he creates. Having read this fantastic piece of fiction, lots of questions regarding this ethos and pathos of life will crowd your thoughts. The most significant issue would be: who is the real monster in Frankenstein?The God of Small Things by Arundhati RoyWhen there is just one book to see before you expire, The God of Small Things’ must be considered. Roy’s first literary work, as well as also her debut novel, brought her Booker Prize. Clients have explained it as a hauntingly beautiful narrative of caste taboos and what busting them signifies in stiff and ancestral societies.To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper LeeA classic American classic, To Kill A Mockingbird’ is exceptional and very educational from how it’s written. It depicts the oppressive power structure in the United States through the eyes of its innocent and young protagonist, Scout. This is only one of those must-read books until you die. Even though it was composed in the 20th century, American culture will look eerily like you today.The Great GatsbyThe background of the fantastic American book by F. Scott Fitzgerald is the roaring 1920s. This is the time when American culture was indulged in decadence and indulgence. When you read this novel, you will learn about the American dream’s fragility and the lengths people may go to reach it.The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret AtwoodThe Handmaid’s Tale’ could be best described as frightening. The publication’s upsetting yet plausible dystopian society is a sharp critique of the patriarchal status quo and jeopardized women’s rights in the USA. Definitely, among the essential books to see until you die, this impactful novel raises several political worries.2666 by Roberto BolañoFinished in 2003 shortly before his passing, 2666 isn’t just Roberto Bolaño’s masterpiece but also among the best and most important books of the 21st century. It is a whole world unto itself, one – not as our own – stuffed with dread, neglect, degradation, brilliance, and beauty. Epic in scope and epitomizing the “complete book,” 2666 combines many distinct genres and styles to make a unique and memorable work of modern fiction. Even though Bolaño’s swan song marked the pinnacle of a sadly truncated literary profession, his immense ability, imagination, and vision endured. – Jeremy G.The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas AdamsParodying virtually every well-worn sci-fi plot device in life, Adams’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is now a classic in its own right. A hapless hero with fantastic luck? Ill-tempered aliens hell-bent on ruining Earth? Pithy information? Check, check, and assess – and much more. Even non-sci-fi geeks will probably be charmed with this humorous and endlessly amusing read, with (obviously ) sequels following. – Jen C.If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler by Italo CalvinoFor all those who have an intimate affair with novels, If on a Winter’s Night, a Traveler might be the most excellent love letter. Calvino’s book is a masterfully created, startlingly distinctive work of fiction. Told alternately in a minute – and – third-person narratives, the book is an intriguing exploration of the connection between the writer and the reader – weaving together apparently unrelated stories, all which relate directly to you, the reader. At its heart is an ingenious notion the likes of that could have just come in the unparalleled creativity of Calvino. From the time you accomplish its fantastic conclusion, you’re going to be wishing you can somehow see it for the very first moment. — Jeremy G.Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. FranklMan’s Search for Meaning is like nothing you have ever read before. The first half of this novel portrays Dr. Frankl’s four decades shedding that in concentration camps – a description so hellish; it leaves one bare. Shattered with his Holocaust experiences, Frankl struggles to live after he’s freed. In the next half of this book, Frankl demonstrates how that span of his lifetime informs and develops his concept of “logotherapy” – he claims that life is all about finding meaning, what’s meaningful to every person. As excruciating as his encounters are, Frankl’s concept is filled with love; he can find redemption for himself and many others. This book is superbly life-changing.The Complete Maus by Art SpiegelmanThe twofold genius of Art Spiegelman’s groundbreaking autobiographical Maus is the picture book’s lack of sentimentality and Spiegelman’s self-portrait as a secondhand Holocaust survivor. The Holocaust is a broadly used trope in Jewish writing. Even though Spiegelman treats the topic with all the empathy and historic sensitivity it respects, Maus averts the issues of victimization and historic exceptionalism that leave much Holocaust literature valuable and protected from the current. Instead, Spiegelman provides his characters the habit of entirely fleshed, complex characters and reveals – in sometimes debilitating and unappealing manners – his parents’ Holocaust seeped into his youth and haunted his being.Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice SendakMost of us hold our favorite childhood books beloved, but there is a motive Where the Wild Things Are is among the most cherished picture books of all time. It is about Maurice Sendak’s whimsy, his spare poetry, his creativity. It is all about his impeccably detailed examples. It depicts the beauty of a night of wild rumpus and the tasteful fiendishness of crazy things who gnash their teeth that are horrible and roll their eyes are awful.
