Christopher Heyerdahl

Christopher Heyerdahl is the kind of actor I notice before I know his name, which is its own compliment. Born in British Columbia in 1963 and standing a startling 201 centimeters, he's become genre television's go-to for unsettling presences: Alastair and the Wraith Todd, Sanctuary's Bigfoot and John Druitt, Marcus in Twilight. What I find interesting is how he uses that height and that face for slow, controlled dread rather than cheap villainy. He's a character actor in the best sense, the guy who makes a scene feel dangerous just by entering it. Stars get the posters, but performers like Heyerdahl are why the worlds around them feel real.
