Marton Chokash is a New Zealand film actor.
Chokash became widely known in his homeland after the television series Shortland Street, where he played the role of Rozzie-Dodds. Another major stage in his career was his work in the television series “Xena: Queen of Warriors” in the period from 1997 to 2001, where in ten episodes he played three roles – lover, priest and leader of the nomads.
The debut serious project in which the actor took part was
Lord of the Rings Director Peter Jackson. In this picture, Marton played the role of Calebourne - the wife of Galadriel and King Lorien. Despite the fact that the role was episodic, in the director’s version it was significantly expanded.
At that time, the actor moved to Los Angeles and began working mainly in Hollywood projects. In 2002, Chokash starred in a film.
Three X's This can be considered one of the main successes in his career. In the action film directed by Rob Cohen, he played the role of Yorgy, the leader of the gang Anarchy 99. His success as an anarchist from Eastern Europe was due to the fact that Marton’s non-standard Hungarian accent suited his character perfectly. In addition, it should be noted that Yorgi in his performance destroyed the stereotype of an Eastern European resident formed in the United States: a leather-clad and tattooed anarchist did not look the opposite of Vin Diesel.
The next serious work of Chokas was a role in the picture
Kingdom of Heaven Director Ridley Scott in 2005. Here the actor appeared as a cruel and greedy king of Jerusalem.
In 2005, Marton starred in the film “Aeon Flax”, based on the eponymous fantastic animated series. In this film, the actor played one of the main roles - the ruler of Brenna.
In 2010, the world saw the picture “Alice in Wonderland”, where Chokash played the role of Charles Kingsley.
