Biographie
CHRISTOPHER HEYERDAHL first appeared as a member of the ruling Volturi in The Twilight Saga movies.
An award-winning actor, Heyerdahl starred in two television series. He played the enigmatic Swede in AMC's original series "Hell On Wheels", a western set in the late 1800's, while consecutively shooting the fourth season of the hit sci-fi series "Sanctuary" playing John Druitt. As a member of a secretive group who tested the limits of science in the 19th century, Druitt has the ability to teleport at will, along with the secret identity of Jack the Ripper. Heyerdahl has the additional challenge of playing two roles on "Sanctuary." He is unrecognizable as the wise and fiercely loyal Bigfoot.
Born in British Columbia, Canada, Heyerdahl is known internationally for his powerful performances in film, theatre and television. His previous credits include roles as H.P. Lovecraft in the Gemini award winning Out Of Mind: The Stories Of H.P. Lovecraft, The Ghosts of Dickens' Past in which he starred as Charles Dickens, The Education Of Little Tree, and Blade: Trinity. A fluent French speaker he also starred in Le Dernier Tunnel, Cadavres and Le Loi Du Cochon.
Heyerdahl also has an impressive list of television credits to his name. He has had recurring guest roles on such television hits as "Supernatural," "Caprica," "Smallville," "Human Target," "Stargate Atlantis," as well as the award winning children’s series "Are You Afraid of the Dark?", and Steven Spielberg’s Emmy and Golden Globe® winning mini-series "Into The West." At the 2006 Leo Awards, Heyerdahl won Best Guest Performance by a Male in a Dramatic Series for his performance as Jan Van Der Heyden in "The Collector."
In 2009, Christopher received a Leo Award nomination for Best Supporting Performance by a Male in a Dramatic Series for his performance in "Sanctuary." And in 2010, along with his "Sanctuary" acting colleague Ryan Robbins, he also won the award. He has been nominated for a Gemini Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Guest Role, Dramatic Series.
On stage, Heyerdahl has a long list of theatre credits including Love’s Labour’s Lost, The Changeling and Knight of the Burning Pestle at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, The Glace Bay Miners’ Museum, The Last Comedy, and Savage / Love, to name a few.
