Charles Philip Bale (also known professionally as Christian Morgan
Bale; born 30 January 1974) is a Screen Actors Guild
Award-nominated, Saturn Award-winning Welsh-born English actor.
Bale is best known for his roles in the films Empire of the Sun,
American Psycho, Equilibrium, The Machinist and Batman Begins.
Bale is also known for his mastery of accents and harsh regimens
of shedding and gaining weight (particularly for The Machinist,
Batman Begins and, most recently, Rescue Dawn). Before he found
success in playing Batman, he was heavily involved in independent
films. Bale first caught the public eye when he was cast in the
starring role of Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun at the age
of 13, playing a British boy who becomes separated from his
parents and subsequently finds himself in a Japanese internment
camp during World War II. Since then, he has portrayed a wide
range of characters. Bale is especially noted for his cult
following. The tenth anniversary issue of Entertainment Weekly
hailed him as one of the "Top 8 Most Powerful Cult Figures of
the Past Decade," citing his impressive cult status on the
Internet. I'm Not There, a film in which Bale again worked
alongside Todd Haynes and Heath Ledger (who plays The Joker in the
2008 film The Dark Knight), is an artistic reflection of the life
of Bob Dylan. He also starred with Russell Crowe in a commercially
and critically successful remake of the Western classic 3:10 to
Yuma. Bale has been cast as the role of John Connor in the
upcoming Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins film 2009 ... more |
