It's not a matter of becoming a superstar. Fame and money aren't the purpose of all this. No actor's going to say, "I don't want to be famous." But the main purpose for doing what I'm doing is the passion in the work.

Acting is still, of course, what I love to do most. The beauty of it is that by changing characters, it never gets boring.

To relax I work.

It may be a mistake to say this, but I know my limitations as an actor and I know what I can and can not do. Robert De Niro can do everything. I can't. A "Highlander" movie is basically my thing. What I'm attempting to do is develop my ability as an actor and try to be the best I can be in the fantasy/action genre. I would love to do a "Rain Man," but I think ultimately this is my thing.

Although he was born in the United States, Christopher Lambert's family left the country when he was two years old. His father was a United Nations diplomat in Switzerland, and as a result, Lambert was educated at boarding schools in Geneva.

His parents saw acting as a precarious career, so to please them he went to work at the London Stock Exchange. But he left after six months and went to study theater at the Paris Conservatoire.

He served in the French military at his father's insistence.

Lambert has profound myopia and cannot see without his glasses. Because he cannot wear contact lenses, he is often forced to act while virtually blind. This has led to injuries while performing his own stunts without glasses.

Along with owning a mineral water business and food processing plant, Lambert produces Côtes-du-Rhône wines with partner Eric Beaumard at a vineyard located in Sainte-Cécile-les-Vignes, France. The label, Les Garrigues de Beaumard-Lambert, tops out at 4,000 cases and is sold mostly in Europe. Beaumard has primary creative control of the winery, but Lambert conducts barrel tests and monitors the various stages of evolution.

In francophone markets on his US films, his forename in credits is repainted as "Christophe", which is his birth name.

His favorite horror films are The Shining (1980), Rosemary's Baby (1968), The Evil Dead (1981) and the original Halloween (1978).

Close friend of Mario Van Peebles and Sean Connery.
