Lewis James Pullman was born in Los Angeles, California, the youngest child of three and son of the noted actor Bill Pullman from the cult-classic comedy "Spaceballs" (1987), beloved Yuletide rom-com "While You Were Sleeping" (1995), and the action classic "Independence Day" (1996).

Although he was destined to be in entertainment, Lewis knew at an early age he had to earn it and not live off his famous surname. In a 2021 article in The Hollywood Reporter, he said, "I figured if acting didn't work out, I could be on the road crew working the backhoe." After graduating from Warren Wilson College in 2015, it was clear he wouldn't be driving tractors as he landed a couple of roles in school and a few lead roles in short films.

In 2017, Pullman landed his first significant role as Billy Kitchen in "The Ballad of Lefty Brown," alongside Peter Fonda, Jim Caviezel, and an actor with a familiar name, Bill Pullman. While Dad earned critical acclaim in the lead role, Lewis Pullman stood out in the revenge Western. The following year, he supported the terrors in a part of "The Strangers" horror franchise and a supporting role as Miles Miller in "Bad Times at the El Royale."

The younger Pullman earned several distinctive roles in the following years, including in the thriller "Them That Follow" and a recurring role on the Hulu mini-series "Catch-22" in 2019. He also began shooting a role as Lt. Robert "Bob" Floyd in the remarkably performing sequel "Top Gun: Maverick" (2020), the "legacyquel" to the 1986 iconic Tom Cruise film "Top Gun."

Over the next four years, Pullman began a selective process about the roles he would take. He starred in a couple of notable TV series, including Calvin Evans in "Lessons in Chemistry" and Rhett Abbott in "Outer Range." He would also find himself in a couple of movies, including "The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial" and the rebooted Stephen King adaptation of "Salem's Lot."

Pullman has coincidentally made the A-list with his latest role, also known as Bob. He will be the villain in the new Marvel Studios' "Thunderbolts," Robert "Bob" Reynolds, who later becomes a duality of superpowers in one of the comic's most powerful beings, "The Sentry and The Void."

Lewis Pullman's Religious Beliefs

Nothing in entertainment or faith-based publications notes how Bill Pullman raised his children or if Lewis believed in God. That doesn't stop him from being attracted to roles connected to religion.

In 2023, Pullman starred in "The Starling Girl," an independent drama with a religious flair, with Eliza Scanlen, known for the Oscar-winning movie "Little Women." He played Owen Taylor, a Kentucky youth pastor from a fundamentalist Christian town in rural Kentucky. The film is not faith-based, as the youth pastor is married but takes a serious interest in Jem (Eliza Scanlen), who wants to flee the strict religious bonds inside her family and town that keep her.

Earlier, in 2019, Pullman was a supporting actor in an eerie suspense movie, "Them That Follows." The movie is set in the backwoods of West Virginia and features a snake-handling preacher (Walter Goggins) and his daughter (Alice Englert) who are caught in a love triangle (Pullman is one of the unwitting young men) that tears apart the sect and those in it.
