"An actor should never be larger than the film he's in. It's the actors who are prepared to make fools of themselves who are usually the ones who come to mean something to the audience."
-Christian Bale |
| Date of Birth: January 30, 1974 |
| Birthplace: Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire |

| He's one of the most malleable and versatile actors today, who can play a yuppie serial killer with as much style as he does an insomniac machinist. Christian Bale's appearances on the big screen may be few and far between, but we bow in awe at every one. |

| Christian Bale was once a popular child actor after playing a British boy living under Japanese occupation during World War II in 1987's Empire of the Sun. He danced up a storm in Newsies and Swing Kids, and became a cult film icon as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho. Bale will reach A-list status after taking the Caped Crusader torch with his turn as Bruce Wayne in 2005's Batman Begins. |

Taking a leap into the world of blockbusters, Bale stars in 2005's Batman Begins, a prequel and that also stars Morgan Freeman and Katie Holmes. Bale will round out 2005 with Terrence Malick's The New World, and can add Harsh Times to his resume in 2006.
Christian Bale is married to Sandra "Sibi" Blazic; the couple, who met on the set of Little Women when Blazic was Winona Ryder's personal assistant, welcomed a daughter to the world in March 2005. Christian also made news when his father, who has since passed away, married feminist icon Gloria Steinem in 2000.
Bale lives wherever he happens to be shooting, but divides his time between the U.S. and the UK. He is devoted to many causes, including Ark Trust, Greenpeace, the World Wildlife Foundation, the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, the Redwings Sanctuary, the Happy Child Mission, and a school for street kids in Rio de Janeiro. |
