Marton Csokas mini-bio:

He has enjoyed an exciting and eclectic fifteen year-plus career in movies, in
television, and on stage, both at home in New Zealand and worldwide. His intensity,
talent, dedication, and range as an actor, have made Marton a favorite among both
critics and movie-goers. He is a graduate of To Whakaari, The New Zealand Drama
School in 1989. Csokas is named after his father, who is from Hungary. He is
currently dating French actress Eva Green whom he met during the shooting of
Kingdom of Heaven (film).

He is well-known for his interesting character and film choices, as well as his
humble attitude towards his work and his life as an actor.
Marton Csokas first became well-known for his recurring role as Xena's past love
and ally, Borias, and Khrafstar on the television series, "Xena." American audiences,
as well as critics, took note of him as the villain, Yorgi, in the Vin Diesel adrenaline
ride, "xXx.", but he is best known internationally for his role as Celeborn in the films
"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Lord of the Rings:
The Return of the King", "The Bourne Supremacy", "Asylum", "Kingdom of Heaven",
and "The Great Raid". In 2005, he co-starred with Charlize Theron in "Aeon Flux".
His most recent film role was with Eric Bana in "Romulus, My Father", for which he
received a Best Supporting Actor award from the Australian Film Institute.

Marton has spent the last couple of years doing what he loves best: live theatre.
2006 saw him onstage co-starring in "Peribanez", while in 2007 he played George in
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", both Company B productions. His work in
"Virginia Woolf" garnered him a Sydney Theatre Awards nomination for Best Actor.
