Christian was born in the heart of London. One of his very first views from his hospital room was the mighty Big Ben. Despite spending most of his life living in various places around the UK, London always had a special place in his heart. This was soon to become the driving force behind his ambition. As a child growing up, there was always a fascination when it came to entertainers. Especially actors. One in particular, 'The Artful Dodger.' It was not until his teens that he began to pursue his dreams of joining the industry. All those years of longing for the entertainment release needed to be explored. And as most aspiring London actors do, it took no time at all until the college auditions began. A full-scholarship to Stella Mann, and additional training with former Equity Chairman of Acting, Paul Mead, Christian began to mold himself into the actor that he longed to be. Throughout his training, Christian was being taught to be the triple threat. However, even through all the singing and the dancing classes, it was apparent that the heart truly lied withing the acting field. Christian would slowly but surely stray away from dance, whilst maintaining his fitness levels through sports. As a teenager, Dalton discovered very quickly that he was an exceptional Basketballer. And eventually, a white collar boxer. Throughout many years, he would be seen as the starting Point Guard for teams in the UK, and Western Australia. As a boxer, Dalton would find himself training and sparring with many boxers and MMA clubs and fighters before finally stepping into the cage for 'Taunton Fight Club.' As much as he loved the discipline, it did not take long to realize that attending auditions with bruises probably wasn't the best move.Dalton went on to play numerous key roles on stage in the UK, and Australia. From one of his favorite characters and scripts, Dakin in 'The History Boys'. To Mark in the hit musical, 'A Chorus Line'. And then onto the beautiful 900-seat Mpac theatre for a second musical, 'Narnia - The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe'. There, he would lead a wonderfully talented cast as he portrayed his version of the young Peter Pevensie. Finally, Christian turned to Shakespeare as he teamed up with Australia's very best Shakespearian director, Stephen Lee for a very special outdoor production of 'Romeo & Juliet' as he took on the role of the County Paris.After spending some successful years working overseas, the decision was made to stray away from the stage that he loved so much. And a path for screen acting suddenly became more prominent. Whilst he knew this was very different to theatre, Dalton would not hesitate to delve into numerous short films and further training as he slowly but surely converted himself into a screen actor. The transition remains to this day a fascinating experience.In 2015, Hollywood called. Christian found himself interacting with key players within the LA circuit. It was an immediate adrenaline confirming that not only was he good at the hustle. But also thoroughly enjoyed it. Perhaps it was the comfort of being on the spot from his days on stage. Enter the turning point. A relocation to the U.S with his beautiful wife and son took effect in 2016. From New Mexico to California, Christian would spend weeks at a time in each State, continuing to interact with industry professionals. And to assist him, agent's EAA from CA, and MGR in NM. As well as Midwest Talent Management in North Hollywood. Since the overseas move, Dalton has landed a small role alongside a stellar cast and crew on 'Godless'' for Netflix in Santa Fe. The title role in 'The Masterpiece' - An independent feature film in California. Christian is currently working alongside the same writer as he takes on an executive producer role to accompany his title for a second feature, 'Until It's You Again', to be shot this year.Christian is very proud to now confirm that he is a permanent resident as he continues on his quest to take his abilities as far as they can possibly go. He would like to thank his rock, his loving wife for all the support that she has given him. And everyone who has always believed in his determination, tenaciousness, and dedication to his craft.
