| Christian Bale Appreciation #12: Because We're All Excited For The Dark Knight  Welcome to the Christian Bale Appreciation Thread!  FANS Enigma ROCKSTAR DefLeppardFan S.A.S.H.A. life_style ScorpioGrl Butterflygirl SergeantPepper Kenjigirl wingster Khleoswife zietke Mavericks Lady_Lee Jackie85 LostEvi Crystaline allybubba Pemberley21 Motoko Ayoama dark_red misst89 Love Kitty Cat Crack of Doom scream2me Incomplete Biography Christian Bale was born to David Bale and a mother (Jenny James according to some sources) who was a circus performer. He has three older sisters: Erin Bale (married name: Kreunen) (a musician), Sharon Bale (a computer professional) and Louise Bale (a director/actress). Christian spent his childhood in a variety of countries including England, Portugal and the United States. He began his acting career by appearing in a Pac-man cereal commercial in England in at age 9 and then appeared a year later in the West End play The Nerd. His "big break" came in 1987 when he was picked for the role of Jim in Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun. The new-found celebrity status brought some trouble for the 13-year-old. However, he continued acting, next appearing in Henry V and TV roles before taking on several movie projects in row starting in 1992 with the Disney musical Newsies. For this role and his role in the 1993 film Swing Kids Christian trained for 10 weeks in dancing and martial arts. After this he drew further attention when he won the much-coveted role of Laurie in Little Women, having been hand-picked for the role by Winona Ryder (who was set to play Jo in the film). He has since won roles in notable films such as Velvet Goldmine and the lead in American Psycho. He recently played the title role in Batman Begins, as well as the noble John Rolfe in The New World.

| Great opening post of Christian. I noticed though 3:10 To Yuma isn't on filmography. I watched 3:10 To Yuma, really good movie, Christian was fantastic he makes a wonderful cowboy. __________________ Kimber Ships: Dylan/Kelly, Spike/Buffy, Angel/Buffy, Damon/Elena, Cullen/Lily, James Bond/Vesper Lynd, Tony Stark/Pepper Potts, Dante/Lulu, Danny/Michelle, Tony/Marah, Sonny/Claudia, Danny/Samantha, Tyler/Caroline, Rafe/Sami, Jack Sparrow/Angelica, Batman/Catwoman | |||

| Kimber - I don't know when the opening was created but it has been awhile I'm sure. I'll working on fixing it up a bit this weekend. 3:10 to Yuma was awesome. Bale and Crowe together were just amazing. You're welcome Nikki. The two of them together would be a dream. I hope it happens. I'm sure you'll love 3:10. | |||

| I'm just waiting for the press to ask him about Heath Ledgers death. I hope he won't say anything though, it's more respectful that way, IMO. | |||

| Christian Bale is such a great actor! I am surprised that he was never up for an oscar  . He was great in "American Psycho", "Batman Begins." I can't wait to see him in "the dark night." __________________ Stefanie Eric/Sookie,Edward/Bella,Alcide/Sookie,Hoyt/Jessica,Lafayette/Jesus,Tyler/Caroline,Jeremy/Bonnie,Jason/Jessica,Stefan/Elena/Damon Icon Credit:cynthia83 | |||

| I feel so bad for Christian Bale when he promotes The Dark Knight. He must be so upset about the whole thing. __________________ Stefanie Eric/Sookie,Edward/Bella,Alcide/Sookie,Hoyt/Jessica,Lafayette/Jesus,Tyler/Caroline,Jeremy/Bonnie,Jason/Jessica,Stefan/Elena/Damon Icon Credit:cynthia83 | |||

That's terrible. They really need to leave people alone. It's definitely going to be hard to avoid those questions when the press for Dark Knight starts going into full force. | |||
