Christian Magdu, born 15 October 1977 in Ploieşti in Romania, is an actor from Sweden.
A recognizable name and face in Sweden, Christian started working as an actor straight out of high school in the touring play "Europe 1697". Even though he studied sciences in high school it was the liberal arts and most of all theater, that was his great passion. He attended two famous, Swedish theater conservatories - Wendelsberg in 1998 and the highly prestigious, highly competitive Skara Skolscen in 2000. Christian describes Skara Skolscen as his most valuable time evolving as a new actor.
Magdu started out in feature films in 2002, with the premiere of Camp Slaughter in 2004, a film he also starred in and got rave reviews internationally. According to Internet Movie Database (IMDb) ([1]) he has several international films in the works. He's starred and co-starred in over 10 feature films and won awards such as The Crystal Bear (Berlin for the short Aldrig en Absolution). He loves working high and low, mixing big budget theater releases with low budget indie-flicks and loves working with talented and promising new filmmakers. He speaks five languages fluently and was selected Sweden's Hottest Male Actor by a Swedish Gay Magazine.
In 2007 Swedish film magazine Stardust - Allt om Film (nowadays Cinema) named Christian Magdu Talent of the Month (other recipients have included Emile Hirsch and Zooey Deschanel).
