Award winning actor Christopher Heyerdahl stars in the upcoming sci fi series Sanctuary as the sinister John Druitt, an ‘abnormal’ with an ability to appear and disappear at will, and with strength and power thus far unmatched.

Born in British Columbia, Canada, Heyerdahl is known for his powerful performances in film, television and theatre, both in Canada and internationally.

His film credits include roles in Blade: Trinity, the Gemini Award winning Out Of Mind: The Stories of H.P.Lovecraft, The Ghosts of Dickens’ Past in which he starred as Charles Dickens, The Education Of Little Tree , Le Dernier Tunnel , and most recently Cadavres.

Film is not the only area where Heyerdahl has made a name for himself. He has had recurring guest roles on such television hits as Stargate Atlantis, Smallville, the award winning children’s series Are You Afraid of the Dark? and Steven Spielberg’s Emmy and Golden Globe winning mini-series Into The West. At the 2006 Leo Awards, Heyerdahl won ‘Best Guest Performance by a Male in a Dramatic Series’ for his performance in The Collector.

On stage, Heyerdahl has a long list of theatre credits including Love’s Labour’s Lost, The Glace Bay Miners’ Museum, The Last Comedy and Savage / Love, to name a few.
