Biography

Christopher Maleki, a native of Glendale, California, began his acting career at the tender age of 12. With a clear understanding of his aspirations, he started working continuously on Teen magazine phase and various television series.

On September 20th, 1996, Christopher was involved in a life-altering incident while working on the TV show Sliders alongside fellow actor Ken Steadman. Tragedy struck when Ken, who was driving a dune buggy with cameras mounted on, lost control, resulting in the vehicle flipping over and killing Ken, while Christopher suffered serious injuries. This devastating experience led Christopher to take a couple of years off to re-evaluate his life and see the world.

Upon his return, Christopher enjoyed significant success, taking on roles in popular series such as Beverly Hills 90210, Party of Five, and recurring roles on Santa Barbara, The Bold and the Beautiful, Pacific Blue, and Days of Our Lives.

Throughout his career, Christopher has appeared in numerous films and episodic TV shows. He joined the soap opera Passions, playing the lovable bad boy "Spike Lester", while simultaneously taking on notable roles in primetime shows like CSI: NY and the feature film Mcbride: It's Murder, Madam, opposite John Larroquette.

The increase in film and television roles during this period showcased Christopher's diversity and talent as an actor. After several seasons on Passions, he left to pursue other projects, including roles on the Starz series Crash and the CBS megahit, CSI.

In 2011, Christopher starred in a total of six feature films: Rehab, 5th & Alameda, Three Veils, Final Sale, Deadline, and Finding Hope Now. The following year, he continued his momentum with the release of Treasure Buddies, the next installment in the popular Disney feature film series.

Currently, Christopher is preparing for roles in the upcoming fantasy epic Of Light and Darkness and the action thriller Risk of Honor. With his whole life ahead of him, Christopher has been living his dream for many years and is poised to achieve even greater success in the future.
