User Profile

I was born in Vancouver, British Columbia on April 19th of 1981. My parents David & Alie Christensen are in the communications business Christensen Communications. I grew up in Markham, Ontario, Canada, one of four children (Kaylen, Hejsa, Tove). Although my aspirations changed and regardless of not having my father's approval, I set out to become an actor when a chance encounter at the age of eight placed me in my first commercial, for Pringles. When I was thirteen I began my starring roles in several dramatic television shows. My big break came with Fox Family's troubled youth show Higher Ground.

I have had quite notable performances in such films as The Virgin Suicides and the television movie Trapped in a Purple Haze. My role as the troubled, misunderstood teen Sam Monroe in Irwin Winkler's Life as a House won me 'Breakthrough Performance of the Year' from the National Board of Review. The film also placed me as a nominee for 'Best Supporting Actor' at both the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards. George Lucas had already set his vision on me for the role of Anakin Skywalker in his final two Star Wars films, which became one of mymost memorable roles.

I then set out to star in Shattered Glass, quoted by some of the real Stephen Glass' colleagues as giving an eerie and uncanny portrayal.

Devoted and loyal, I currently reside in both Toronto and Los Angeles, mostly in Toronto though. When not working, I enjoy spending quality time with my family - such as big brother Tove, hanging out with my friends, and exploring other hobbies such as playing blues and jazz on the piano, hockey, tennis, rollerblading, and dirtbiking.
