Was considered for the role of Dr. Spencer Reid on Criminal Minds (2005), but did not want to commit to a television series at the time. The role went to Matthew Gray Gubler instead, and Haas later guest starred in the series as a store clerk who ends up being the elusive "Footpath Killer".

Good friends with Leonardo DiCaprio.

Brothers are fraternal twins named Simon and Nikolai Haas. Like Lukas, they are also musicians.

As of 2016, has appeared in four films that were nominated for the Best Picture Oscar: Der einzige Zeuge (1985), Inception (2010), Lincoln (2012) and The Revenant - Der Rückkehrer (2015).

He made guest appearances on both Unbekannte Dimensionen (1985) and Twilight Zone (2002).

In choosing any role, I ask the same questions: what kind of part is it? is the role challenging? does the director have a vision? is the story moving? etc.

I like both music and acting, and they both have a lot in common - timing, immediacy, stuff like that. But acting is more regimented. You wait around for hours, you don't get to write the script, you get hired. Music represents me better. I'm not acting; I'm just expressing myself.

I was in Kansas for about a month, and we worked most of the time in a very small town, so it felt like the production basically took the whole town over. In a way, we were the Martians in Kansas.

On a low-budget film, you don't have all the luxuries.

It's cool to play a sinister bad guy who also has a human side.
