3	->''"I need to react to a script, to feel strongly about it in some way. And I need it to be a complex character for sure. And also, I think a lot about what kind of audience there is for the film, what they're looking for and ways to connect with them in the playing of a character."''

5	Jeremy Lee Renner (born January 7, 1971 in Modesto, California) is an American actor.
6
7	He first became interested in acting through an exercise at a local police academy, which gave him the opportunity to role-play a domestic disturbance perpetrator as part of a police-training exercise for an easy $50. He became best known for his role in the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' as [[ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} Clint "Hawkeye" Barton]]. He also starred in ''Film/MissionImpossibleGhostProtocol'' and ''Film/MissionImpossibleRogueNation'' as [[TheAtoner William Brandt]], as Aaron Cross in ''Film/TheBourneLegacy'' and as Sergeant First Class William James in ''Film/TheHurtLocker''.

9	In addition to his work as an actor, Renner continues to cultivate a lifelong love of music. A singer, songwriter, and musician, he performed with the band Sons of Ben early in his career. Scenes in ''Love Comes to the Executioner'', ''North Country'', and ''The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford'' briefly showcase Renner's singing talents. He currently maintains a Website/YouTube [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC04uEyfaejl71wDAtEEbuZA/videos channel]] which also hosts a number of recent musical tracks.

11	On New Year's Day 2023, Renner was severely injured in an accident while plowing snow outside his home in Nevada and underwent surgery to treat blunt chest trauma and other extensive injuries. The first interview he gave after the accident can be watched [[https://youtu.be/POnIvy4eaII here]].

55
56	!! Tropes & Trivia in his works include:
57
58	* AdvertisedExtra: Admitted that while he was happy to have done ''The Avengers'', he felt that Hawkeye was snubbed in screentime. Creator/JossWhedon seemed to noticed this, as Hawkeye had a much larger and more important role in ''Avengers: Age of Ultron''.
59	* TheCameo: Appeared in ''Film/{{Thor}}'' as ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}, but was neither named nor credited.
60	* TheCastShowoff: [[invoked]] Similarly to his fellow Marvel costar Creator/RobertDowneyJr, Renner is also musically talented. He once parodied Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" as Hawkeye.
61	* OlderThanTheyLook: Not as much as some in Hollywood but it's still hard to believe the man is his fifties, especially since almost all of his roles involve characters that are almost a decade (or more) younger than his actual age. This is accentuated in ''Film/HanselAndGretelWitchHunters'', where he plays a character that is, at the most, in his late twenties.
