| 6 | He first starred as Patroclus in ''Film/{{Troy}}'' with Creator/BradPitt, then with Billy Bob Thornton in ''Film/FridayNightLights'', Creator/MarkWahlberg in ''Film/FourBrothers'' and moved on to films like ''Film/{{Eragon}}'', ''Film/GeorgiaRule'', ''Film/TronLegacy'', ''Film/CountryStrong'' and ''Film/TripleFrontier''. |

| 8 | His acting skills have enabled him to play a broad variety of characters; the little brother, the bad guy, the mysterious newcomer and plain college boys. |

| 10 | Along with his good looks and height, [[TheWoobie Garrett is known for]] [[BlessedWithSuck playing tragic, sympathetic characters]]. In almost every film he stars in, he either: |
| 11 | * '''A''' - [[ChronicallyKilledActor Dies]]. |
| 12 | * '''B''' - Plays a normal character that, during the progress of the film, might get worse treatment than others before receiving a happy ending. |
| 13 | * '''C''' - Plays an abused character that might or might not get a happy ending, but at least gets a great moment at the end to show everyone else that he wasn't all that bad. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | He dated Creator/KirstenDunst from 2012 to 2016. In 2019, he began dating Creator/EmmaRoberts - with whom he had a son - but the two separated in 2022. |
