1-MINUTE RESUME FOR HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN

This young Canadian actor came seemingly out of nowhere to land the career-making role every guy in Hollywood was after — that of Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. It started at 8, when he went along with his sister while she was agent-shopping and he was asked if he'd like to act too; by 13, he was acting on a Fox Family channel series. Many may not know he was nominated for a Golden Globe for a small movie, Life as a House, costarring Kevin Kline.
5 Things:

1. Threw up on the plane both times he went to George Lucas's ranch to discuss and screen test for Anakin
2. Was a ball boy at the Canadian Open tennis matches
3. He's allergic to bees
4. He has a dog named Dakota and two parakeets, Jay and Alex
5. Likes the band OutKast
Quote:

"I think that if you don't take it too seriously and just take it as it comes, keep your ambitions where they were before … then you'll be all right.
