Christian Slater was born 18 August 1969. 37 years old. Son of actor Michael Hawkins and Mary Jo Slater.

Is a major Star Trek fan. His unusual eyebrows that makes his eyes so special are the great result of him shaving them when dressing up as Spock for Halloween; they never grew back in properly.

Won the roles of the Interviewer in Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles and Eric Draven in The Crow after the death of friend and fellow actor River Phoenix. Slater also turned down the lead in The Crow, leading producers to actor Brandon Lee - who would becomer permanently linked with the film and its story when he was accidentally killed on the set of the film.

Received a standing ovation on his first night playing McMurphy in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" on the London stage.

Born on the same day as Oscar-nominated actor Edward Norton. He also shares a birthday with the following celebrities: Denis Leary, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Patrick Swayze and Robert Redford.

The trousers worn by him in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) are the same ones worn by William Shatner in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (1982). He noticed the name label still inside them.

Donated all of his paycheck from "Interview With A Vampire" to River Phoenix's favorite charities after the young actor's untimely death at 23.

As a young teenager, he appeared in the musical "Merlin," one of the most expensive, notorious flops in Broadway history. The show had been conceived as a vehicle for Doug Henning's magic, with Henning playing the eponymous wizard. Slater played "Young Merlin" and "Arthur;" other stars included Chita Rivera and Nathan Lane.

Slater married with Ryan Haddon, but he divorced Haddon in November of 2006. Currently he resides in London, England. He has two children with ex-wife Ryan Haddon.
