Breakthrough Role in The Sandlot

When Guiry landed the role of Scott Smalls in the 1993 classic The Sandlot, he launched his career. The film, done so nostalgically about youth and the vigor of friendship, became a cultural phenomenon that introduced Guiry to a generation of fans. 

In this, he played a shy, awkward boy so well that it boded well with audiences and sealed his place within the history of film.

Diverse Filmography

Post-Sandlot, Guiry made his mark in numerous genres and films: Lassie, 1994; U-571, 2000; and Black Hawk Down, 2001. Then, of course, there were his starring roles in the dramatic Mystical River from 2003 and, later, The Revenant in 2015, in which it was seen that he lent his ability to the most complex of characterizations. 

His filmography attests greatly to the kind of commitment Guiry placed on taking on various roles and telling different stories.
