Jack Huston who worked with Al Pacino on an Indie film 'Salomaybe', nominates Jack Huston as one of the finest actors. "He looked like he was enjoying the challenge. It's actors like this you want to keep an eye on." Says Pacino. And the fondness among the two happens to be likewise as well.

It would be easy to write off Huston's early success as a result of his Hollywood pedigree, his grandfather was the great director John Huston; his aunt is actress Anjelica. But the handsome lad, who grew up in London, has been honing his craft onstage since age 7.

"I wasn't really conscious of the whole Huston legacy when I started," he explains. "They were just my family, and they still are."

In real life Huston manages his own career by looking for tips from his mentor, Pacino. "He feeds on the work, he's so inspiring to be around," Huston says. "A chance to work with Al is one in a million."

Huston moved to Los Angeles a few years ago and has made quick work of the town: His first high-profile role was playing Gerard Malanga in the 2006 film 'Factory Girl'. He will be seen in the Viking adventure 'Outlander'( from the makers of Lord Of The Rings) and the high-art comedy Boogie Woogie.

'Outlander' releases in India on 6th Feb.
