Christian Campbell

Christian Campbell (born May 12, 1972) On his mother's side, Campbell descends from Sephardi Jews who immigrated to the Netherlands and converted to Catholicism.

Campbell's parents divorced when he was three years old. His siblings are actress Neve Campbell, actor Alex Campbell, and Damian McDonald. He and his sister, Neve, resided largely with their father (who received custody of the two), with regular periods at their mother's home. Born into an acting family (his maternal grandparents having been actors in Amsterdam) and his father an acting teacher, Campbell began training at an early age. He was acting professionally by the age of fourteen and attended Claude Watson School for the Arts in Toronto, Ontario.

Film

Campbell starred in the gay-themed romantic comedy Trick in 1999. The feature film was a Sundance Grand Jury Prize nominated film. It grossed the most per-screen average for a gay-themed film at the time. In celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the picture, Campbell spoke of the social climate at the time and how he, a straight actor, had taken on a gay role. "Having been in that movie... opened up a community," he said. "The gay community was incredibly supportive of me." Along with Shannon Elizabeth, he starred in the 2008 made-for-TV movie You Belong To Me.

Before its abrupt cancellation, he had a starring role in the NBC drama The Book of Daniel.

In May 2010, Campbell had a guest-starring role as victim Ben Rooney in CSI: Miami season 8, episode 21, "Meltdown".

In 2013, Campbell joined the cast of the Lifetime original movie An Amish Murder, in which he played the brother of Kate Burkholder, who was played by his real life younger sister, Neve Campbell.

Campbell has a recurring role in the second season of HBO's True Detective. He can also be seen playing the villain Pierce Peters in the 2015 Disney Channel Original Movie Bad Hair Day.

Theatre

Campbell's theatre training began early and was extensive due to his father being an acting teacher and his mother's acting background.

Their first child, a daughter, was born in 2012, but died only days later due to the genetic condition Edwards syndrome.

After facing infertility issues of their own, Campbell and his wife decided to become spokespeople for the BabyQuest Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that is "dedicated to helping couples and/or individuals build families through advanced fertility treatments". The couple had a second daughter in 2019.
