Sebastian Stan was born on August 13, 1982 (Sebastian Stan age: 42) in Constanța, Romania to Georgeta Orlovschi. Orlovschi and Stan’s father divorced when he was two years old. (Star Wars star Mark Hamill has responded to jokes about him being Stan’s “real” father due to their resemblance.) Stan moved with his mother when Orlovschi found employment as a pianist in Vienna, Austria. Orlovschi later married Anthony Fruhauf, who became Stan’s stepfather. Stan and his mother moved to Rockland County, New York, where he spent the rest of his childhood.
Stan attended Rockland County Day School, where his stepfather Fruhauf was the headmaster. Stan was involved in several school productions as well as the Stagedoor Manor summer camp. In 2001, Stan entered the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutger’s University, where he studied acting under William Esper, Kevin Kittle, and Barbara Marchant. He graduated in 2005.
Stan’s first film role was as a child extra in 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance. He did not make any more appearances onscreen until 2003, when he landed a role in an episode of Law & Order while attending college. He also appeared in Tony & Tina’s Wedding (2004) and Red Doors (2005) during his schooling.
After graduation from the Mason Gross School of the Arts, he began to land more prominent roles, including Martin Waters in The Architect (2006), Chase Collins in The Covenant (2006) and Leo in The Education of Charlie Banks (2007).
In 2007, Stan started appearing in the cult favorite Gossip Girl series as Carter Baizen. He appeared in a total of 11 episodes from 2007 to 2010, allowing him exposure to a greater audience. In 2009, Stan had a leading role as Jack Benjamin in the television series Kings. In 2010, Stan acted in the thriller Black Swan and Hot Tub Time Machine.
In 2011, he made his first appearance in a Marvel film; Stan played James “Bucky” Barnes in Captain America: The First Avenger alongside Chris Evans and Hayley Atwell. In 2014, he had a larger role as The Winter Soldier in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. He played Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier in Captain America: Civil War (2016), Black Panther (2018), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: Endgame (2019). His role as Barnes/The Winter Soldier gained him mainstream attention and fame. Stan has a relatively large fanbase, despite having never had a leading role in a Marvel film.
Other notable films of Stan’s include Ricky and the Flash (2015), The Martian (2015), I, Tonya (2017), Endings, Beginnings (2019) and The Last Full Measure (2019).
Stan is projected to reprise his role as Barnes/The Winter Soldier in the television series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which is in production. He is also reportedly in the voice recording process for a guest role in another television series based on Marvel’s comics, titled What If…?. He is also set to appear in upcoming movies The Devil All the Time, Monday, 355, and Kill Switch.
In The Last Full Measure, Stan portrays Scott Huffman, an up-and-coming investigator in the Pentagon who uncovers a conspiracy when investigating why real-life Vietnam War hero William Pitsenbarger was not awarded with a Medal of Honor for his service.
In an exclusive chat with uInterview, Stan revealed that while the story is true, his character, Huffman, was based on various people that director Todd Robinson had interviewed during his research process. Stan described the film as one that explores Pitsenbarger’s selfless act and “what it means to be selfless” and “what it means to have courage.”
Stan also revealed to uInterview that it took Robinson 20 years to make the movie, including the time spent raising money to produce the independent film, casting, and more. The Last Full Measure also features Christopher Plummer, William Hurt, Ed Harris, Samuel L. Jackson and Peter Fonda.
Of working with such notable actors, Stan said, “Every single scene I had was opposite an unbelievable legend who I grew up with, so there was an element of learning about acting, of certainly being on my toes, and also learning about life and myself.” Stan described the essence of the movie as well as the filming process as a growing experience.
In January 2025, Stan won a Best Male Actor – Musical or Comedy Golden Globe Award for his role in A Different Man.
Stan is relatively private about his personal relationships. However, it has been reported that he has previously been in relationships with actresses Leighton Meester, Dianna Agron, Jennifer Morrison and Margarita Levieva.
Stan has stated that he was previously a smoker and would smoke a cigarette as part of his pre-audition ritual.
Stan has said that he is close friends with the people he has worked with in the past.
