Andrew Garfield, a British-American actor, became interested in acting during his teen years and later studied at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London. His early career centered around theater, where he garnered recognition on the British stage for his dedication to character exploration and his acting skills.

In 2010, Garfield's performance as Eduardo Saverin in "The Social Network" catapulted his career, earning him recognition as an emerging talent in Hollywood. He returned to the spotlight in 2012 as Peter Parker in "The Amazing Spider-Man" and reprised this role in its 2014 sequel and again in "Spider-Man: No Way Home." Garfield's interpretation of Spider-Man was appreciated for its blend of humor, vulnerability, and heroism.

Garfield’s commitment to immersive, complex roles was evident in 2016 when he portrayed Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector in World War II, in Mel Gibson’s film "Hacksaw Ridge."
