     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". 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. Also in 2007, he co-starred with Hugo Weaving in "Riflemind", for the Sydney Theatre Company.

In early 2008, Marton starred as Antony in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra off-Broadway. From 31 May to 13 July, Marton will once again be appearing with Company B in "The Pillowman".

4/26/08 - An interesting look at love
By Judd Hollander
Special to The Epoch Times Apr 23, 2008

[excerpt] Csokas is nicely roguish as a bearded and brawny Antony, brought down by his love for the sensual and somewhat conniving Cleopatra. Matching him perfectly is Robins who nicely combines cunning, sensuality, jealousy, passion and more than a bit of humor in the role. (Watching a messenger approach her with trepidation after she previously beat him for delivering bad news is priceless.)

4/9/08 - Shakespeare Proves Shaky in Off-Broadway Production of Antony and Cleopatra
By Dan Blank | Published April 8, 2008

[excerpt] The title characters are both portrayed beautifully. Laila Robins shines as Cleopatra, capturing at once both strength and sensuality, eccentricity and control. Even in moments of weakness, Robins’ Cleopatra never wavers—she handles situations with an incredibly seductive poise. Marton Csokas brings an almost Russell Crowe-like element to his role as Antony, embodying both the lover and the man of duty. At times, the native New Zealander’s recitation of Shakespearean language comes across as drab and monotone, but these moments are overshadowed by Csokas’s immensely passionate overall performance.
