Television work
Christopher Meloni began working on television in the late 80s, but he became famous for the role of Chris Keller in the drama "Prison of Oz", which he performed from 1998 to 2003. This was the first major role in the career of an actor.
The following year, he began work on the police drama series Law and Order: Special Corps, in which he played detective Elliot Stabler. Christopher worked on this series until 2011.
In 2012, the actor played the role of Roman in the popular mystical vampire series "True Blood", based on a series of books by Charlene Harris.
From 2016 to 2017, Christopher Meloni worked on the Underground series, which did not gain much popularity outside the United States.
In 2017, the actor received the role of Nick Sachs in the crime series "Happy", in which he still works.
Movie
In the full-length movie, Meloni made his debut back in 1994, playing with Dan Carvey in the comedy "Virgin Memory". In the following years, the actor worked a lot in film and television, but either he got very small roles, or the films failed at the box office. The most famous film of Christopher Meloni at that time is considered "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas."
In 2004, the actor played in the youth comedy "Harold and Kumar go to the gap." Four years later, Meloni appeared in the sequel to the film Harold and Kumar 2: Escape from Guantanamo.
In 2009, Christopher played a supporting role in the post-apocalyptic horror Carriers, in which he played with Piper Perabo.
In 2013, the long-awaited fantastic action movie Zack Snyder "Man of Steel" was released. Christopher Meloni got the role of Colonel Nathan Hardy. His co-workers were Henry Cavill, Amy Adams and Kevin Costner. "Man of Steel" became a box office hit, like Snyder’s previous films, grossing $ 668 million at the box office, and markedly added popularity to all the actors who worked on him.
In 2014, the actor played in the sequel to Sin City, an adaptation of the comic book by Frank Miller. The role of Meloni in the film was small. Unlike the first part, Sin City-2 failed at the box office; film critics did not receive the warmest reviews.
A year later, Meloni appeared in the drama The Diary of a Teenage Girl, in which he played the role of Pascal. Critics liked the picture, but it did not help her become a box office hit.
In 2016, Christopher played in the action movie "I Am Anger."
In 2017, the actor appeared in the role of Roger Simmons in the comedy "Daughter and Her Mother." Critics did not like the tape, mainly because of the fresh story and the bad script. At the moment, this is the last full-length film with the actor.
Personal life
Meloni has been married to designer Doris Sherman Maloney since 1995. The couple has two children - daughter Sofia Eva Petra and son Dante Amadeo.
