Carier start

Kristen Hager (height, weight: 176 cm, 50-55 kg) was born in 1984 in the small town of Red Lake, which is located in the Canadian province of Ontario. As a child, she was engaged in creativity and, most likely, dreamed of a career as an actress. Indeed, in 2005, a dream came true when she received an offer to star in the mini-series "Beach Girls".

The decision to act became fateful, the girl’s career went uphill. But it requires a lot of effort and time. This is probably why there is no information about Kristen Hager's personal life yet.

In 2005, the actress deserved another, and by no means the last role in the comedy film "Restaurant Novel." And then she got on the set of the dramatic series “The Fugitives” (2006) about a lawyer who was unfairly accused of killing an assistant.

In 2007, American director Todd Haines called the actress into her biographical drama “I Am Not There,” where she helped tell six stories that symbolize different periods of Bob Dylan's life. And almost immediately she got a small role as a classmate of one of the main characters in the fantastic action movie Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2008), which won two Golden Raspberry awards as the worst horror film and worst prequel.

Gaining momentum

Another small role was waiting for Kristen Hager in Timur Bekmambetov’s fantasy thriller “Especially Dangerous” (2008) with James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman in the lead roles. The actress can also be found in the drama “Murder on the Mind” (2008) about a non-punctual jury who disagrees with the sentence imposed on the accused. In 2009, Kristen participated in the filming of the Canadian comedy "The World Is Not So Bad" about a unlucky guy named Robert Matt, who ended up in a madhouse after a suicide attempt. And in parallel, she worked on three more projects: “I Am the Devil”, “Wars in the Dormitory” and the mini-series with horror elements “Twilight in Valmont” about the terrible secrets of Valmont College.

The next year began with the Canadian thriller “In Link” (2010). It continued with the rather successful series “Being a Man” co-produced by Canada and the United States. And it ended with a melodrama with the unusual name “SMSuality” about how sometimes it is difficult to replace virtual communication with real one.

In 2012, the actress starred in the Casey Walker comedy horror film “A Little Zombie” and received the Rising Star Award at the Canadian Film Festival for this. And a year later she appeared in the melodrama “I Love Your Wife” (2013).

The next few years, the actress mainly starred in the series, however, there were no main roles. The most popular among these projects are: Masters of Sex (2013 - 2016), Gotham (2014 - ...) and Space (2015 - ...). At the moment, the actress has an impressive filmography. Finally, we describe the most popular films with Kristen Hager.

“Twilight in Valmont” (2009)

In the mystical television series directed by Stephanie Skiney, events unfold at Valmont College, designed to educate students from wealthy families. This is an ideal place for higher education, because the college is located on the sea coast, and its staff consists of the best teachers who are ready to turn a blind eye to the behavior of their students. Only studying here can cost the lives of spoiled students.

Once a girl named Maggie Graysen (Kristen Hager) is informed about the death of her brother, who studied at Valmont. The police are reluctant to investigate, so Maggie takes it into her own hands. She changes her name to Sophie Fields, goes to college and immediately realizes that terrible things are happening in the walls of this institution, and the death of her brother is not an accident.

“To be a man” (2011-2014)

The American mystical series is a remake of the British television series and tells the story of three non-humans: the vampire Aiden, the ghost of Sally and the werewolf Josh. In the modern world, it is not easy for them to live. The guys have long been at the limit, because they live among ordinary people, therefore they are forced to constantly hide their essence. Even if they are relatively friendly creatures.

For example, a vampire simply adores people, but because of a thirst for blood, he cannot be near them for long. True, he is trying to restrain himself, but every day it turns out worse. The ghost, although it should inspire horror, actually shudders at every rustle. And the werewolf is afraid of the full moon, because it was at this time that he could not restrain himself and attack someone.

A Little Zombie (2012)

In the horror film directed by Casey Walker with Kristen Hager, a group of friends comes to a country house to have fun. Strange things suddenly begin to happen - one of the friends turns into a zombie and begins to hunt for the brains of his comrades. Naturally, the holiday is already ruined, but it is too early to panic. A zombie man is a smart and well-mannered guy who perfectly understands that attacking friends is bad. Moreover, it is time for him to take care of his own safety.

The news that a walking corpse was wandering around in the area attracted several zombie hunters at once. They wish the guy only good, so they are going to stop his torment forever. Here are just a girl guy and friends stand up to protect him. They will try to solve this problem, and then continue their party.
