With mesmerizing good looks, charm and talent, German-born actor Christian Oliver is poised to make the transition from young heartthrob to leading man.

Christian recently completed production on the independent film “A LIGHT IN THE FORREST” starring with Lindsay Wagner and Franchise Pictures’ thriller “KEPT” in which he stars opposite Ice T as a young architect student who becomes entangled in a murder mystery. He also starred in the international action film “ULTIMATE FIGHT,” which is about two brothers, both of whom are kick-boxers, involved in a struggle for survival and brotherhood who, unfortunately fall for the same girl.

Oliver also starred in the HBO/Overseas Filmgroup romantic comedy “EAT YOUR HEART OUT” opposite Laura San Giacomo (“Just Shoot Me”) for director Felix Adlon.
