Actor Marton Csokas (pronounced CHO-kash), has enjoyed an exciting and eclectic fifteen year-plus career in movies, in television, and on stage, both at home in New Zealand and worldwide. His intensity, talent, dedication, and range as an actor, have made Marton a favorite among both critics and movie-goers. He is well-known for his interesting character and film choices, as well as his humble attitude towards his work and his life as an actor. Marton Csokas first became well-known for his recurring role on the television series, "Xena." American audiences, as well as critics, took note of him as the villain, Yorgi, in the Vin Diesel adrenaline ride, "xXx." Marton has also appeared in the high profile films "The Lord of the Rings", "The Bourne Supremacy", "Asylum", "Kingdom of Heaven", and "The Great Raid". In 2005, he co-starred with Charlize Theron in "Aeon Flux". His most recent film role was with Eric Bana in "Romulus, My Father", for which he received a Best Supporting Actor award from the Australian Film Institute.
Marton has spent the last couple of years doing what he loves best: live theatre. 2006 saw him onstage co-starring in "Peribanez", while in 2007 he played George in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", both Company B productions. His work in "Virginia Woolf" garnered him a Sydney Theatre Awards nomination for Best Actor. Also in 2007, he co-starred with Hugo Weaving in "Riflemind", for the Sydney Theatre Company.

By the way, what is the most recent Australian film she has seen?
