♦ Christian Kane's Biography
Born in Dallas, Texas, Christian Kane's family moved often, as those in the oil business often do, before settling in the small town of Norman, Okalahoma. Always into films and music, in college the dream and lure of a career in the entertainment business grew too strong. Christian set off for Los Angeles.

In California, Christian landed a job as an assistant at an entertainment company by telling them he would deliver scripts if they would just submit him for projects too. He quickly went from employee to client when he landed his first big job acting and singing as the lead in MGM's television series "FAME L.A.". The show, based on the hit movie and television series, originally cast Christian as a comedian. After hearing Christian sing, they rewrote the role for him to be a singer.

Around that time, Christian met songwriting partner, Steve Carlson. Together they founded the band KANE. Packing such hot spots as The Viper Room and The Mint, Christian and Steve became well known in the L.A. community for their strong original songwriting and awesome high-energy performance on stage. Christian's unique country vocals distinguished KANE. His stage presence and his ability to the hold the audience in the palm of his hand has always been one of the keys to his success.

The band was soon receiving airplay from L.A. country radio, being voted the winner of the Country Thunder Young Guns Contest, and playing numerous sold out shows in L.A. Not content to stay an L.A. phenomenon, the two began taking regular trips to Nashville to polish their writing chops. In Nashville they collaborated with some of the best songwriters in the world. Repeated visits led to Christian Kane signing a publishing deal with EMI Music Publishing and later to a full blown record deal.

Newly signed to Columbia Records Nashville, Christian Kane is working with producer Jimmie Lee Sloas on a major label debut. Christian still writes much of his own material and has co-written with hit songwriters such as Blair Daly, Brett James, David Lee Murphy, Casey Beathard, Jerrod Niemann, and others to make this record a huge success. The single MORE THAN I DESERVE, written by Christian Kane, Steve Carlson and Jeremy Stover goes to country radio late summer with the debut album in stores everywhere to follow.

Christian has had success not only with his music, but with numerous film and television roles as well. He will co-star with Timothy Hutton in the TNT series LEVERAGE, created by Dean Devlin, in Fall 2008. Christian also recently co-starred in the Jerry Bruckheimer produced weekly drama series CLOSE TO HOME on CBS. Christian was seen in the Stephen Spielberg/TNT miniseries INTO THE WEST. In addition to a few recently completed independent films, Kane’s most recent appearances on the big screen are in Fox's film TAXI opposite Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon and the Peter Berg directed FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS. He was also seen in Fox's JUST MARRIED (which opened at #1) where he starred with Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy and on television as the lead in “The Crooked E” for CBS. Kane’s other work includes the Fox feature film LIFE OR SOMETHING LIKE IT opposite Angelina Jolie for director Stephen Herek, SECONDHAND LIONS for writer/director Tim McCanlies where he played a young Robert Duvall, the indie features KEEP YOUR DISTANCE and HER MINOR THING (alongside Estella Warren) and the Warner Bros. baseball film SUMMER CATCH.

In a role that has given him worldwide exposure, Christian starred as "Lindsey McDonald" in a major recurring role on the WB television series ANGEL. His other film and TV credits include the films CROSSFIRE TRAIL (with Tom Selleck) and EDTV, DAWSON'S CREEK, the independent film BROKEN HEARTS CLUB and the MTV Original film entitled LOVE SONG. In LOVE SONG he played a blues guitarist/ singer opposite co-star Monica. Last year Christian Kane fans were thrilled by his appearance in 24: THE GAME where he plays a computer-generated antagonist challenging Kiefer Sutherland to stop his dastardly plan.

    So I've watched all of seasons one and two of Leverage, (season one at leat 4 times or so), and I'm loving his acting skills. I've since bought Secondhand Lions, which was amazing. Now I'm borrowing Angel from a friend and I'm getting such a kick outta watching him as the bad guy. It takes a great actor to get you to root for them in one roll and hate them in another. I just bought his CD, (well download of the CD), and I have to say he's one fo the best country singers I've ever heard. I think he's doing a great job on Leverage and I can't wait to see other projects, (both upcoming and past), and I hope to get to see him sing on Leverage. I wish I could go to the convention next year, but unless I manage to win the lottery in the next month it aint happenin. Anyways, I'm loving Leverage and can't wait till Season 3 hits televison and Season 2 hits store shelves.

    blsedbx3 Kane Madness.... 3 Jun 30 2009, 2:49 AM EDT by Cuero63

    Being from the south lower Arkansas to the Ozark Mountains ; I really get where Christian is coming from. Norman (in the middle of nowhere) is a great little town full of cowboys. Yee Hah... My ex-husband was a bull rider so been there , seen that. Now he is in Nashville recording a record. Good for him. From his gallery pic.s he has a good chance. I suggest they watch out for John Rich's solo album release so he doesn't get snowed under. He has to get recognized and get a huge following. I suggest that the show sets him up with a gig where he has to be a nightclub attraction , something like Gilly's amatuer night and the team is trying to get a cattle rancher for the death of a neighboring rancher upon finding his herd has been stolen. Leaving a grieving widow and her daughter who is engaged to the bad guys son. Eliot can also be a romantic ply in the twosome.
    This will give the fans a chance to get a tast of Chris's talents in the music field. Otherwise he needs to get hold of Mark Rader at Warner bros in Nashville. He is a booking agent for the southern district. He will know how to find him.
    Love the show.
