Christopher Lambert
Christopher Guy Denis Lambert (born March 29, 1957), known as Christopher Lambert, is an American-born French actor. He is best known for his role as Connor MacLeod, or simply “The Highlander”, from the movie and subsequent movie franchise series of the same name. He is also known for his role as the thunder god Raiden in the first movie adaption of the acclaimed video game Mortal Kombat. He is credited in French-speaking countries as Christophe Lambert.
Director Hugh Hudson cast him in the title role of Greystoke – The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984). With Highlander (1986), starring as Connor MacLeod, Lambert received public attention. It is by far his most famous role. He appeared in all three sequels that were released in theaters — although he was not in the 2007 movie made for the Sci-Fi Channel
— and had a cameo appearance in the pilot of the television series. Lambert got a César for Best Actor in 1986 for his role in Subway, directed by Luc Besson. In 1995, he won the role of the thunder god Raiden in a movie adaptation of the popular video game series Mortal Kombat. Lambert was interested in reprising his character in the sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, but he was committed to his role in Beowulf, thus the role was given to James Remar. As of early 2007, it was rumored he will again play Raiden in the reboot, Mortal Kombat: Devastation. The only confirmed casting for this movie is former castmate Linden Ashby (Johnny Cage).
Lambert was married to Diane Lane from 1988 to 1994. Their daughter, Eleanor Jasmine, was born on September 5, 1993. After dating Alba Parietti in 1996, he married Jaimyse Haft in February 1999. He is presently dating Sophie Marceau with whom he appeared in La Disparue de Deauville.
Lambert has myopia and has great difficulty seeing without his glasses. Because he cannot wear contact lenses, he is often forced to act while virtually blind. This has led to injuries while performing his own stunts without glasses.
Lambert is a close friend of Mario Van Peebles and Sean Connery. He has appeared in multiple films with both of them.
