Mini Biography

Christian Kane was born in Dallas, Texas. Christian and his family moved around a lot throughout the South before settling down in Norman, Oklahoma. Christian attended the University of Oklahoma where he had plans to major in Art History. But Christian wanted to try out acting, so he took his truck and his life savings of a few hundred dollars and headed to Hollywood. Christian had many jobs, including mail-room clerk for a talent agency. His big break came when he played Ryan "Flyboy" Legget, the male lead, in a new show called "Fame L.A." (1997) based on the hit movie and 80s TV show. Unfortunately, the show was canceled after 22 episodes. Christian's next role was on Aaron Spelling's "Rescue 77" (1999), where he played Wick Lobo a.k.a "cowboy" because of his radical application of "gutter" medicine. Due to poor ratings, the show was canceled. Not to be defeated, Christian was soon cast as a production assistant in Edtv (1999) starring Woody Harrelson as well as a made-for-TV Western called Crossfire Trail (2001) (TV) with Tom Selleck. Christian is currently filming another feature flick, with Freddie Prinze Jr. and Marc Blucas, titled Summer Catch (2001).
