Actor Marton Csokas (pronounced CHO-kash), 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 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 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." Marton has also appeared in the high profile films "The Lord of the Rings", "The Bourne Supremacy", "Asylum", "Kingdom of Heaven", and "The Great Raid". Most recently, he co-starred with Charlize Theron in "Aeon Flux". He can currently be seen with Eric Bana in the immigrant drama, "Romulus, My Father."
News and Updates
12/12/06 - When Marton decided to come out of his cave, he started at the top as you can see in this photo of him in a group meeting Queen Elizabeth at the CASINO ROYALE premiere. Ever the independent spirit, he dressed for the occasion in a tux, but didn’t bother shaving. Thanks to evagreenweb.com for this great shot; Eva Green is standing directly behind her co-star, Daniel Craig.
11/14/06 - For those who've wondered if Marton had fallen off the face of the earth the last few months, he's just reappeared in a big way. Here's one picture of him escorting Eva Green (Sybilla in KINGDOM OF HEAVEN) into the after party at the London mega premiere of CASINO ROYALE. It's been rumoured for well over a year they were dating, but until now, they've never been photographed as a couple. Judging by Marton's hand around her waist, this seems to be one rumour that's true.
"Traffic around the square came to a standstill as the stars arrived including James Bond himself DANIEL CRAIG and sexy co-star EVA GREEN with her actor boyfriend MARTON CSOKAS."

10/10/06 - According to info on the Gerry Butler site, his fans had their US convention in Colorado this past weekend [10/7-8/2006], and the major event of it was a big charity auction. Gerry donated a lot of autographed stuff, two production companies he'd worked with sent some costumes, and other actors he'd filmed with provided autographed things as well. One of them turned out to be our own Marton who signed one of those big De Kere dolls and a dvd of "Timeline" the auction committee had send him. An auction committee member mentioned that the stuff sent to him had to travel over the ocean a couple of times so I think it's safe to assume they sent him the material while he was in Australia for RMF or Peribanez.
Since Marton is taking a well-deserved break from acting these days, after having filmed Romulus, My Father earlier this year, and then performing onstage in Lope de Vega's Peribanez from July until August, there's not a whole lot of news forthcoming. Hopefully, Marton is having fun wherever and whatever he's doing, reading scripts and resting up for more films to come.
ROMULUS, MY FATHER completed principal photography in June and is now in post-production. Word from joyin, who got it from Marton himself, is that it will premiere in Australia in March 2007. However, the William Morris Agency was unable to confirm this release date for us yet. The official website is HERE.
