Skyler Gisondo

Biography

Skyler Gisondo is an American actor who has established himself as Hollywood's go-to talent for awkward charm and scene-stealing comedic performances. After gaining critical acclaim in Paul Thomas Anderson's Licorice Pizza and HBO's The Righteous Gemstones, he reached a new level of mainstream visibility in 2025 as the new Jimmy Olsen. In 2026, he lands his biggest leading role to date in the comedy blockbuster "Focker In-Law" (November 25, 2026). Gisondo stars as Henry Focker, the adult son of Greg (Ben Stiller) and Pam (Teri Polo). In a role that centers the franchise's new generational conflict, Henry is a mild-mannered nurse—following in his father's footsteps—who shocks the family by getting engaged to a high-intensity pop star played by Ariana Grande. This major casting follows his universally praised turn as Jimmy Olsen in James Gunn's "Superman" (July 2025). Critics cited his chemistry with David Corenswet as a highlight of the film, leading to reports that a spin-off series focusing on the Daily Planet staff is in early development. He also recently concluded his run as Gideon Gemstone in the final season of HBO's "The Righteous Gemstones" (2025), where his character completed his arc from stuntman-blackmail artist to the family's unexpected moral center.
