Initially known as an actor (most notably on the '90s TV drama My So-Called Life and in movies like Requiem for a Dream),
Jared Leto also had musical ambitions. His band,
30 Seconds to Mars, debuted in 2002 with an album whose epic, emotional post-grunge sound was suggestive of groups like
Chevelle or
Incubus. The band returned three years later with
A Beautiful Lie, another anthemic album that sold over 3.5 million copies and helped cement
30 Seconds to Mars' status as one of the era's leading alternative rock acts. ~ Johnny Loftus
