Hayden Christensen Biography

This young Canadian actor came seemingly out of nowhere to land the career-making role every guy in Hollywood was after — that of Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. It started at 8, when he went along with his sister while she was agent-shopping and he was asked if he'd like to act too; by 13, he was acting on a Fox Family channel series. Despite the Star Wars pedigree, he's continued to work in small movies, and was nominated for a Golden Globe for Life as a House, playing Kevin Kline's surly son.

"I think that if you don't take it too seriously and just take it as it comes, keep your ambitions where they were before … then you'll be all right.
