Celebrity Birthdays August 18th Christian Slater

Christian Slater was born on August 18th 1969 in New York.

Christian Slater made his first career as a rebellious youth in Heathers (1989, opposite Winona Ryder) and Pump Up the Volume (1990). Slater grew up in a family in the entertainment business and began his professional acting career as a child. His early film roles included The Name of the Rose (1986, starring Sean Connery) and Francis Ford Coppola's Tucker: The Man and His Dreams (1988), but it was doing a younger, poor man's version of Jack Nicholson in Heathers that earned Slater a following. He proved soon enough that he was a capable leading man and starred in movies such as Mobsters (1991, with Patrick Dempsey), True Romance (1993, written by Quentin Tarantino) and Murder in the First (1995, with Kevin Bacon). By the late 1990s he was even having a go at being an action hero, in Broken Arrow (1996, with John Travolta) and Hard Rain (1998, with Morgan Freeman).
