Christopher Dane

Christopher Dane lulus sebagai aktor dari LIPA pada tahun 2002 dan berangkat ke London dengan gelar BA Honors First dan Paul McCartney Award di sakunya. Dia mengasah keterampilannya di Teater Fringe dan mendapatkan pekerjaan teater profesional pertamanya dalam produksi MARY STUART Donmar Warehouse yang memenangkan penghargaan tahun 2006 karya Phyllida Lloyd. Namun, kecintaannya pada layar kaca telah membawa kariernya—baik sebagai aktor maupun sebagai penulis produksi—ke Industri Film Inggris, dan CV-nya kini mencakup sejumlah fitur dan film pendek yang tak terhitung jumlahnya. Pada tahun 2009, asal usulnya dari Skandinavia menambah pengaruh peran utamanya sebagai ayah Aragorn, Arathorn di BORN OF HOPE, prekuel independen Lord of the Rings, yang kini telah ditonton lebih dari 55 juta kali secara online dan ulasan bintang empat oleh Wendy Ide di The Guardian. “Christopher Dane benar-benar efektif sebagai [Arathorn] prajurit mulia dan pembantai Orc.” Ia memenangkan Penghargaan Aktor Terbaik di Festival Film Independen London atas perannya yang terkenal sebagai John Foster dalam drama komedi Inggris BEING SOLD, disutradarai oleh sutradara pemenang penghargaan Phil Hawkins. Dia juga memenangkan banyak penghargaan untuk serial online Ren – The Girl With the Mark, yang dia ciptakan bersama sutradara Kate Madison. Christopher membuat debut televisinya pada tahun 2013 dalam serial drama hit BBC CALL THE MIDWIFE, yang menarik lebih dari 10 juta pemirsa, diikuti dengan penampilan di DR WHO, THE BRIDGE, EASTENDERS, DOCTORS, THE HALCYON, dan serial komedi Channel 4 HOME. Pada tahun 2020 dirilis fitur horor ketegangan pemenang penghargaan THE UNFAMILIAR, dan pada tahun 2021 ia muncul dalam drama Belgia SAVING SANDRA serta drama kriminal berbasis di Skotlandia ANNIKA di UKTV yang dibintangi Nicola Walker. Tahun 2023 dirilis THE YOU RUN, dan pada tahun 2024 ia bersatu kembali dengan sutradara Phil Hawkins dalam fitur SKY Original ROBIN AND THE HOOD. Pada tahun 2025, ia menantikan pemutaran perdana serial animasi CBBC yang sangat dinanti-nantikan PIRIPENGUINS, di mana ia menyuarakan FLUTTER—satu-satunya mesin bencana penguin!

Christopher Dane is graduated as an actor from LIPA in 2002 and headed to London with a BA Honours First and the Paul McCartney Award in his pocket. He honed his skills in Fringe Theatre and landed his first professional theatre job in Phyllida Lloyd’s 2006 award-winning Donmar Warehouse production of MARY STUART. His love for the screen, however, has since then taken his career—both as an actor and as a produced writer—into the British Film Industry, and his CV now includes scores of features and countless short films. In 2009, his Scandinavian roots added to the impact of his lead role as Aragorn’s father Arathorn in BORN OF HOPE, the independent Lord of the Rings prequel, which has now amassed more than 55 million online views and a four-star review by Wendy Ide in The Guardian. “Christopher Dane is genuinely effective as [Arathorn] the noble warrior and orc-slaughterer.” He won the Best Actor Award at the London Independent Film Festival for his acclaimed portrayal of John Foster in the British comedy drama BEING SOLD, directed by award-winning director Phil Hawkins. He has also won multiple awards for the online series Ren – The Girl With the Mark, which he co-created with director Kate Madison. Christopher made his television debut in 2013 in the hit BBC drama series CALL THE MIDWIFE, which drew in over 10 million viewers, followed by appearances in DR WHO, THE BRIDGE, EASTENDERS, DOCTORS, THE HALCYON, and the Channel 4 comedy series HOME. 2020 saw the release of the award-winning suspense horror feature THE UNFAMILIAR, and in 2021 he appeared in the Belgian drama SAVING SANDRA as well as the Scottish-based crime drama ANNIKA on UKTV starring Nicola Walker. 2023 saw the release of THE YOU RUN, and in 2024 he reunited with director Phil Hawkins in the SKY Original feature ROBIN AND THE HOOD. In 2025, he is looking forward to the premiere of the highly anticipated CBBC animated series PIRIPENGUINS, where he voices FLUTTER—the one penguin disaster machine!
