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."

ROMULUS, MY FATHER did extremely well, picking up nods in 15 categories including Best Picture. Marton was nominated as Best Supporting Actor for his work in RMF. Win or not, unfortunately he won't be able to attend the ceremony since it's in Melbourne on December 6th and RIFLEMIND's Sydney run doesn't finish until December 8th.
10/17/07 - From the DAILY TELEGRAPH comes another great pic. Hard to believe looking at them, but Marton's character is Hugo's *older* brother.
10/11/07 - Another pic of Marton, this time onstage in RIFLEMIND.
10/10/07 - After a week of previews, RIFLEMIND officially opened last night and already it's standing room only for the length of its run. Naturally, our chameleon has changed his look from VIRGINIA WOOLF, this time choosing something more piratey for his stint as former rock n' roll star, Phil. Pictured here with Marton are Susie Porter who appeared with him in THE MONKEY'S MASK and Steve Rodgers who plays the third member of the band.
