About the Author
Dennis H. Christen
Actor/Writer/Producer
Dennis was born in Lehi, Utah in 1948. After growing up in California and Utah, he joined the army the day after graduating from high school and subsequently served in Korea from 1966 to 1969. After completing his term in the service, Dennis spent a two-semester stint at Brigham Young University. However, he could not resist the call of Hollywood and went there to pursue his dream of acting and writing.
During the long, drawn-out actor’s strike of 1980, Dennis was cast to do a miniseries in South Korea. After finishing the initial series, he was offered additional roles. However, to do so, he was required to learn to read, write and speak the Korean language. Dennis quickly mastered the language and an original three-month stay turned into almost 12 years. He established a solid career as an actor in Korea becoming a star on one of the most successful daily sitcoms in Korean television history called "A High Schooler’s Diary".
During his 12 years in Korea, Dennis performed in over 640 episodic television shows, miniseries, movies of the week and feature films, which took him to 12 different countries. The last and largest miniseries was the multi-award winning 38-hour program called "The Eyes of Dawn". Dennis was given a "Special Acting Award" for his role in, "A Tear for My Enemy" (English title), the first all-English language Movie of the Week that had been produced in Korea.
Dennis was the first foreign actor to be placed on the Korean TV Guide’s list of the 50 most popular entertainers. Dennis was also the first non-Korean actor allowed to join the Korea Television Actor’s Association. It was during one of the association functions that he met his wife, Korean actress Eun Kyung Seo.
Eventually, Dennis stepped behind the camera as an assistant director for the Cannon Group film, "A Field Of Honor." He then wrote, starred in, and produced the award winning feature film "Soldiers of Innocence." The film was nominated for two Grand Bell Awards (Korea’s equivalent of the Academy Award) and won the award for Best New Director.
Dennis authored a non-fiction book, "Rape? Not Me!!" That book, Dennis’ first, was published in 1974. He has subsequently written several screenplays for motion pictures and television. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
