  1. Big break

    Slater was 18 when he took the role of the dark character J.D. in Heathers, the 1989 film with Winona Ryder. He beat many other actors, Brad Pitt among them, for the part, and his work was likened to a young Jack Nicholson.

  2. A role that slipped away

    In 1993, Slater was the first choice to play Eric Draven in The Crow, the movie directed by Alex Proyas. That same year, he played Clarence Worley in True Romance, written by Quentin Tarantino.

  3. First role

    At eight years old, Slater took his first television role. It was on One Life to Live, the ABC soap opera.

  4. First role

    In 1980, Christian Slater played the lisping Winthrop Paroo in a revival of The Music Man, sharing the stage with Dick Van Dyke. That production marked his Broadway debut.
