Christian Slater was born on August 18, 1969. He grew up in a creative family, his father was an actor, and his mother - a director for selection for the role. Therefore, the choice of profession was predetermined. His younger brother also starred in the movies, but he is less known. Christian Slater, whose filmography has more than a hundred roles in the cinema, also works as a producer, director.

He began to take part in Broadway productions from the age of 8. The first role in the movie was played in 1985, but his fame was brought to the film "The Name of the Rose" in conjunction with S. Connery. The peak of the actor's popularity came in the 90s of the last century. Now he is in the series. And in the press most often appears due to scandals, women and alcohol.

The role of the young novice was played by 17-year-old Christian Slater (Christian Slater), whose filmography at that time was just beginning.

"Wild Heart"

Melodramatic tape (frame in the photo above) with elements of comedy will immerse you in a complete love story. Caroline works as a waitress in a small bar, Adam is working here.

"Lethal Attraction"

A brilliant acting duo with the young Winona Ryder gave the audience an interesting and dynamic film. The actions of the criminal drama unfold within the walls of the school.

However, the case takes a serious turn when the first victims appear. Cinema several decades later has not lost its relevance in matters of child and adolescent cruelty. And, perhaps, this is one of the best roles that Christian Slater performed. The filmography of the actor was replenished by the box office and the film that brought him popularity.

"Interview with a Vampire"

This is the film that marked the beginning of the romantic era in the stories about vampires. The screen version of the first book of the series by the writer E. Rice caused a stirring interest and the subsequent recognition of the audience, but critics reacted to it more coolly. The film begins in our time. On the threshold of a journalist who is always in pursuit of a sensation, a vampire appears. He wants to tell the world the story of his long, but, alas, unhappy life. The role of the journalist is played by Christian Slater, whose filmography could lose this "pearl", if not for the sudden death of the already approved actor Rivers Phoenix.

"Basil"

Historical melodrama with a very young Jared Leto, Claire Forlani and Christian Slater. Basil - this is the main character, open to the world and trustful. He belongs to a higher society. At the moment when he learns first love, he will have to face betrayal. Basil learns that he was the object of a well-planned revenge. In a decisive battle he will have to decide his fate. The spectator goes along with him almost all his life, from a little boy to a venerable gentleman.

Broken Arrow

Actor Christian Slater, the filmography, whose biography consists of hiccups and falls, in this film caught luck by the tail. The audience was very interested in the tape (shot in the photo below). Still, because in the center of the plot - the opposition Travolta-Slater. It's an entertaining action movie on an old topic about how friends become enemies in a blink of an eye. And now one of them is already on the side of lies and blackmail, and the second is trying to save himself and others by all means. At the awarding ceremony of the MTV channel, the film participated in three categories: "Best villain", "Best fight" and "Best action scene", but, unfortunately, did not win in any one.

In the coin box of the famous actor - not only films. Christian Slater, the full filmography of which has more than 100 works, is also filmed on TV series. One of the most successful projects is "Mr. Robot". A film about a programmer suffering from sociopathy. Not very long thinking, he decides that the best profession, allowing to stay away from people, for him will be a hacker. But where information technology is the latest technology meets with big money, there is inevitably a conflict of interest.

But the series "Mind Games" contrary to expectations became one of the most unsuccessful in the career of the actor. The pilot series was shown in 2014. This is the story of two brothers who organized a special agency to help people in very specific situations. The audience reacted to the premiere coldly, and the project was closed after five episodes.
