Playing the friend of Josh Hutcherson’s protagonist Laser, Eddie Hassell found himself beginning a run that would see him shift between TV and movies, with future roles on the TNT series Southland, and movies like Family Weekend, throughout the rest of his career.
Besides his acting, Eddie Hassell was passionate about some very active sports, which helped him land various gigs as well as performing his own stunts.
Both Roland Emmerich’s 2012 and Lisa Cholodenko’s The Kids Are All Right hit for Hassell within a year of each other, with the latter film putting him in one of the movies that competed for the best of 2011’s top honors.
