Hayden Christensen in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominee, HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN (Anakin Skywalker), broke into acting in an unusual way. His older sister, a Junior World Trampoline Champion, was asked to appear in a Pringles commercial. When no one was available to baby-sit the young Hayden, he joined his sister on a visit to her talent agent where he was "discovered" and asked to appear in commercials. By the time he was twelve, Christensen had a continuing role in the first Canadian television soap opera, the daily hour-long Family Passions.
Christensen also appeared in Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides, Strike and In the Mouth of Madness. Most recently, he starred in Life as a House. For his performance as the drug abusing teenage son of Kevin Cline, Christensen was nominated for a 2002 Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award. He has also starred in the TV movie Trapped in a Purple Haze and the Fox Family Network series Higher Ground.
Currently, Christensen can be seen alongside Anna Paquin and Jake Gyllenhall in London’s West End revival of This Is Our Youth, a play by Kenneth Lonergan (You Can Count On Me and Analyze This).
