Rising young star HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN stars as George Monroe's teenaged son Sam, who leads a secret life of darkness in his locked bedroom, only to be dragged out to help his seemingly over-the-edge father build a house.
Christensen recently came to international attention when George Lucas announced he had cast the relative unknown to play the highly sought- after role of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker — who ultimately becomes Darth Vader -- in the forthcoming Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode Ill. Impressed with his raw talent, Lucas turned down some of the world's biggest movie stars in order to have Christensen take on the pivotal role.
Previously the Canadian-born Christensen appeared in Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides, Strike and In the Mouth of Madness. On television, he starred in the movie "Trapped in a Purple Haze" and the Fox Family Network series "Higher Ground." A native of Vancouver, Canada, Christensen began his acting career at the age of 13, starring in commercials and the first hour-long Canadian soap opera, "Family Passions."
