Christian Slater was born on August 18, 1969. He grew up in a creative family, his father was an actor, and his mother was a selection director for a role. Therefore, the choice of profession was predetermined. His younger brother also acts in films, but he is less known. Christian Slater, whose filmography includes more than one hundred film roles, 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, however, he became famous for participating in the film “The Name of the Rose” together with C. Connery. The peak of the actor’s popularity occurred in the 90s of the last century. Now he is starring in the series. And in the press most often appears due to scandals, women and alcohol. The following are the most popular films with Christian Slater.
"Name of the rose"
The genre of the film is defined as a criminal detective of the Middle Ages. Doesn't that sound tempting? Outside 1327, a Franciscan monk, in the company of his young novice, investigates a series of mysterious deaths among the clergy in the Benedictine monastery. Soon, searches lead him to an ancient manuscript carefully guarded by monks. Perhaps it is in him that the terrible solution to all deaths lies. The role of the young novice was played by 17-year-old Christian Slater, whose filmography was only just beginning at that time.
"Wild Heart"
A melodramatic tape (frame in the photo above) with comedy elements will immerse you in a story full of love. Caroline works as a waitress in a small bar, Adam works here. Shy and modest, he doesn’t even show that he likes the girl, hiding his feelings and being shy even to just start a conversation. A chance helped him: one night a girl was attacked, and Adam saved her. The main role is played by Christian Slater. The filmography of the actor is not so rich in romantic roles, so you should pay attention to “Wild Heart”, especially since for taking part in it, the actor received his first MTV award in the nomination “The most coveted man” and “The best kiss”.
"Deadly Attraction"
A brilliant acting duet with young Winona Ryder gave the audience an interesting and dynamic film. Crime drama takes place within the walls of the school. The rules and order in it are established by a certain group of girls calling themselves “Heather”. Veronica belongs to a narrow circle of the elite, however, she does not like their “politics”. She shares her experiences with a new acquaintance Jason. He invites her to deal with the problems, kill them and expose everything for suicide. The girl, taking everything for a joke, even agrees to help him in this. However, things take a serious turn when the first victims appear. Cinema, after several decades, 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 replenished with 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 vampire stories. The screen version of the first book of the series by the writer E. Rice aroused great interest and subsequent recognition of the audience, but critics reacted to her more coolly. The film begins in our time. On the threshold of a journalist who is always in pursuit of 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 have lost this “pearl", if not for the sudden death of the already approved actor Rivers Phoenix.
"Basil"
Historical melodrama with the very young Jared Leto, Claire Forlani and Christian Slater. Basil is the main character, open to the world and trusting. He belongs to high society. At that moment when he learns first love, he will have to face betrayal. Basil learns that he has become the object of a clearly planned revenge. In a decisive battle, he will have to decide his fate. The viewer goes with him almost all his life, from a little boy to a venerable gentleman.
Broken Arrow
Actor Christian Slater, a filmography, whose biography consists of ups and downs, in this film caught luck by the tail. The tape (frame in the photo below), the audience met with great interest. Still, in the center of the plot is the Travolta-Slater confrontation. This is a spectacular action movie on the old theme of how friends become enemies in an instant. And one of them is already taking the side of lies and blackmail, and the second is trying with all his might to save himself and others. At the MTV Channel Award, the film participated in three categories: "Best Villain", "Best Fight" and "Best Action Scene", but, unfortunately, did not win a single one.
In the piggy bank of a famous actor - not only films. Christian Slater, whose complete filmography includes more than 100 works, is also shot in series. One of the most successful projects is Mr. Robot. The film is about a programmer suffering from sociopathy. Without thinking for a long time, he decides that the hacker will be the best profession that allows him to be away from people. But where the latest information technologies meet big money, a conflict of interests inevitably appears.
But the series "Game of the Mind" contrary to expectations, became one of the most unsuccessful in the career of an actor. The pilot series were 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 coldly to the premiere, and the project was closed after five episodes.
