For his performance in the 1985 film Subway, Lambert received the César Award for Best Actor.

His best-known role is Connor MacLeod in the 1986 cult adventure-fantasy film Highlander and the subsequent movie franchise series of the same name. He also played the thunder god Raiden in the first film adaptation of the video game Mortal Kombat (1995).

Other films he is known for are White Material, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, NCIS: Los Angeles, Kickboxer: Retaliation, Fortress, The Sicilian, I Love You and for producing N’oublie pas que tu vas mourir, the french comedy film Neuf Mois and its American remake Nine Months.

Actor Christopher Lambert Career

Christopher Lambert started his career playing supporting parts in several French films: Ciao, les mecs (1979), Le bar du téléphone (1980), Asphalte (1981), Une sale affaire (1981), Putain d’histoire d’amour (1981), Douchka (1981), Légitime violence (1982) and one episode of Cinéma 16 (1982).

Around that time director Hugh Hudson had just finished his Academy Award-winning film Chariots of Fire (1981), and Warner Brothers were desperate to hire him to direct another film. After looking at all their available scripts he chose to do a film adaptation of novelist Edgar Rice Burroughs’ iconic character Tarzan, a man who was raised by an unknown species of great apes in the jungle.

Hudson wanted an unknown to play the part and tested many young actors. Lambert got the role partly due to his myopia because when he took off his glasses it seemed he was always looking into the distance.

Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes was released in 1984 and met with great critical acclaim for both Lambert and its director. The film was nominated for three Academy Awards and won a BAFTA Award, as well as a César Award amongst other nominations.

That same year, he also played a lead role in a French film called Paroles et musiques, opposite Catherine Deneuve, Richard Anconina and Jacques Perrin.

Christopher Lambert Highlander

Highlander is a 1986 fantasy action-adventure film directed by Russell Mulcahy and based on a story by Gregory Widen. It stars Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, Clancy Brown, and Roxanne Hart. The film chronicles the climax of an ages-old battle among immortal warriors, depicted through interwoven past and present-day storylines.

Christopher Lambert plays swordsman Connor MacLeod from the Scottish Highlands, known as the Highlander, one of a number of immortal warriors who can be killed only by decapitation. After initial training by another highly skilled immortal swordsman, Ramirez (Sean Connery), MacLeod lives on for several centuries, eventually settling in New York City, managing an antique shop.

In 1985, he falls in love with a police forensic scientist named Brenda. He also finds out that he must face his greatest enemy, Kurgan (Clancy Brown), who wishes to kill MacLeod and to obtain “the Prize” – a special ability which is given to the last living immortal warrior: vast knowledge and the ability to enslave the entire human race.

Christopher Lambert Quotes

• What you’ve done is done. You’ve got a goal you never reach, and it’s always farther away. It keeps you walking, I don’t want to sit down.
• I wanted to do different movies. I wanted to do deeper movies. More human movies based on human feelings.
• It’s not a matter of becoming a superstar. Fame and money aren’t the purposes of all this. No actor’s going to say, ‘I don’t want to be famous.’ But the main purpose of doing what I’m doing is the passion in the work.
• It may be a mistake to say this, but I know my limitations as an actor and I know what I can and can not do. Robert De Niro can do everything. I can’t. A ‘Highlander’ movie is basically my thing. What I’m attempting to do is develop my ability as an actor and try to be the best I can be in the fantasy/action genre.
• Now I don’t want to feel cornered as an actor, because I’ve got a wider range than that.
• If you’re lucky enough to be raised in a rich family, good. But learn how to respect that luck. It’s not a given, you know? It’s not like, ‘Well, it’s normal’. No, it’s not normal. It’s lucky.
