Christopher Cousins
- Actor
Christopher Cousins has carved a career by portraying outstanding,
diverse characters. This talented, theatrically trained actor has an
intriguing, dark and captivating screen presence. The depth and soul
that Christopher brings to his characters may have its roots in his
birthplace, New York City, or perhaps in the secrets of Oklahoma, where
he was raised. Regardless, since his first professional role fresh out
of Boston University, Christopher has found within himself the ability
to morph into the essence of whatever character he portrays. He
perfected his chameleon skills as a contract player on
On ne vit qu'une fois (1968) as
Cane Rogan, a con man who pretended to be different people (German film
director, Spanish lothario, Irish horse trainer, Arab prince).
